Not embarrassing, just disappointing.
Precum contains next to no sperm, so it's really unlikely to get pregnant from it. Apparently Sex ED universally exaggerates that chance so that people don't get the dumb idea to rely on pulling out.
I mean it's probably the right way to teach it that way, but you know, if someone theoretically had a bit of an impregnation kink, it sure would make them sad :(
Also teens are like super fertile so I understand the fear of them relying on pulling out lol.
Depends on how empty and clean the tubes are before they get busy.
If the paramour is a popular lad and has multiple callers (or just a frequent self-pleasure constitutional), the operating environment may not be a sterile field free from DNA.
It's interesting from a biology perspective, but still good advice to give those teenagers who spend their weekends going at it until they can't pronounce their own names.
Not sex related, but I learned it in sex ed. Most males do not have a big depression in their chest. Turns out that the males in my family happened to have a condition known as Pectus Excavatum.
I had a friend once who thought that doubling up on a condom meant double protection. That's a huge no no.
idk if 'embarassingly' late, but, I assumed that doggy style was always anal, and vaginal sex was missionary for a while lol.
I think we had the basics covered early. Too early maybe. I remember holding a presentation in grade school about AIDS, but that was half made by my grandma and I barely understood what I was reading from my papers.
Not my info but this year a classmate confided in me the following:
"it took an embarrassingly long time to realize that men have multiple holes on their penis".
I thought she was joking but she was dead serious, (she was from a very conservative family to put it mildly and had been withheld from sex-ed their entire life). For some reason they insisted arguing about it with me and the other guy present.
I was 22 and she was 21.
Not really a hilarious assumption, but it was only this year that I actually learned anything more than the names of a few STIs. It's good to familiarize yourself with the risk profiles and treatment options of the common ones, and get tested regularly if you're sexually active.
