On Periods & Other Ovarian Mysteries: horror story edition
This comes from the one post that inspire this blog: here.
“Our sex ed in biology class was very good, it was our teacher of religious education who told us bullshit: he once said that men can’t have sex with women during their period, because the the period blood forms crystals which hurt the penis. One of the girls in our class asked him if that’s what his wife told him.” -lostwiginity
“Here’s my sex ed horror story: in 4th grade they separated out the boys and the girls, and basically gave us the Puberty Talk. For the girls, they explained in admittedly accurate detail the changes that were going to start happening with our bodies. But they never mentioned….why. So here I am, 9 years old, knowing that soon I would start having my period, which by all accounts was painful and inconvenient and would last until I was in my 50s, but I had no idea for what purpose.” - awellfittedname
“The most memorable class was when one boy asked, “What’s PMS?” Our teacher just shook his head in his hands & sighed with exasperation. We never even learned what the acronym meant, but I now understand his reaction.” - choplogik
“The closest we ever got to sex ed was spending a period making masturbation jokes with our guidance teacher. It was funny at the time, but now I have the same relationship with vaginas that old people have with the internet.” - fourflatsmuth
