    I learned in college (from my nurse girlfriend) that if a girl is taking antibiotics that it invalidates her birth control pills for the month and you need to use condoms until after her period.

    Spread the word, brothers.

      That’s not really true.

      Sure it’s true for rifampicin and rifabutin (and maybe one more similar one). But those are used to treat TB.

      All the standard ones you’d take are fine for birth control.

      Edit: Thanks to some people who are more knowledgeable than me on the topic, there are some others, or secondary effects you should consider.

      Moral of the story: if in doubt ALWAYS use more contraception. Best to be safe out there.

    That the vagina is way lower than a lot of people depict it. A lot of my anatomy exposure when I was younger was hentai, and it turns out hentai artists don’t really know where the vagina is either. The ones that put the vagina as the little sister of the belly button on the woman desperately need to look up their Year 9 health book.

    One teacher allowed girls bathroom breaks without a question but not guys and we thought it was bc girls can’t hold pee in since they don’t have dicks.

    If you can’t tell sex ed doesnt exist in this part of the world

    Hell that’s not even sex ed but anatomy ig

    at 17yo I thought my circumcision scar was a birthmark and I didn’t know you had to have sex at least once per pregnancy

    parents, please tell your kids where babies come from and what all their parts are supposed to do, and don’t circumcise them either

      Yeah I didn’t really connect the dots that my penis had been altered. I thought my friend had the weird penis. Turns out his is the way it’s supposed to be.

    I am a medical interpreter and until like three months ago I didn’t know that women had clear fluid secretions on the regular, as in as a normal part of their life monthly cycle. No one, not any gf nor my actual gf or any friend had told me that. I hadn’t heard about it anywhere, either on the news, on small talk, on jokes, on serious conversations, on sex ed, nowhere. I was in wonder not because of the fact, but because of how little info about it there is until I got the info in my job, and even there i hadn’t heard about it before nor after. It’s so weird for something so common to be this quiet.

      You know what’s extra fun about this?

      Those secretions bleach underwear. That’s right, my cute black panties are all inevitably doomed to have a white spot in the crotch over time!

    I had a friend once who thought that doubling up on a condom meant double protection. That’s a huge no no.
