      Love the implication that sex ed would’ve been any better in the US. Hell it would be worse if it was one of those abstinence only courses I had to go through.

        I didn’t have sex ed. The teacher had the kids vote on what they wanted. Sex ed or kickball. They all had shocked Pikachu faces when 4 students (ranging from 13-15years old) ended up pregnant within a year.

        We literally had no sex ed other than pointing at a model. Nothing about how to do it or do it safely. Nothing about how to recognize if you’re being forced to and don’t realize it. Just pure memorization of the inner parts that people forgot about instantly. We had to watch a baby be born in a video but that was literally it.

        This was last year. By the best bio teacher in the school.

      They neglected to tell them that the “horrible diseases” are only a danger if you sleep around with different people.

    I’m glad you posted this, I’ve been making the same mistake for 3 years.

    It’s hell getting an appointment at a fertility clinic to prove to my boyfriend I’m not shooting blanks.

    This is dumb, but I actually don’t blame the couple THAT much. It’s probably a shitty sexual education coupled with the taboo of talking about it. I went to abstinence-only sex ed back in the day, and all we were told was “sex before marriage is evil,” and basically nothing else. If it wasn’t for my church’s (yeah, seriously!) really good sex-ed classes, I would have been dumb as bricks.

    The DARE officer at my school (anti-drug police officer supposed to scare you straight) was actually yelled at by my health teacher for saying “sharing needles can cause STIs, oh and also wear a condom.” A teacher shouted “Abstinence only, no condoms!” at a bunch of ninth-graders. Moron. Although I guess the kids in that class wouldn’t have had trouble getting pregnant.

    Which Doctor, though? Hopefully 11. While not my favorite overall (10 forever), he’d probably be the best one at pointing out idiocy in a kind but hilarious way. Him or 13.

      In what world does having sex make you still a virgin?

      Edit: okay what the fuck is this shit

      They reportedly informed the now retired doctor that they were finally expecting - by sending 100 eggs and a live hen as gifts to her former hospital.

      According to China’s Guiyang Evening Post, Liu’s ‘experience’ led her to inspect the woman’s anus, which she claimed ‘could fit three fingers.’

      That poor woman!

    How do you even know about condoms or where to stick it if you don’t even know what’s happening?

    I feel like this is more an issue of “survival of the fittest”, not a failing of any education.

    Let these morons die out already!
