Tonight's Ask PHLemmy: What did sex ed definitely not prepare you for?
There's a sex ed class? If there ever was, I wasn't aware of it or couldn't remember anything, so it didn't prepare me for anything
It was around 4th grade, but I don't really called it sex-ed. It's just "Reproductive System"
That it can be incredibly messy. I immediately wash up after.
Also very important: Don't forget to take a piss asap. This is how UTI usually starts.
They don't exactly teach it on sex ed (read: Health subject sa school), but people often mistake porn with realistic/doable sex only to realize that the stars have to perfectly align for you to be able to replicate most of it.
Just to cite one example: When you're aroused, it can be painfully difficult to get your "implement" to not magnetically cling to your abdomen. Male porn stars have surgery to prevent this.
Sorry kung medyo x-rated, lmao.
Our catholic school surprisingly gave us a semi useful but very awkward sex ed class during our 4th year of highschool. Nagpe-present yung teacher namen ng slides via over head projector with pictures ng contraceptives, both natural and artificial ones.
Eto yung spiel nya: "This is a {contraceptive}, ganito sya ginagamit, pero wag nyo gamitin sa boyfriend/girlfriend nyo"
Anyways, dun sa question, I was not prepared to be rejected by OBGYNs nung nanghingi ako ng prescription for contraceptives citing "artificial contraceptives is against my beliefs." Nasayang oras ko sa paghahantay sa waiting room.
