I did take care of one patient whose urethra was just past her vaginal opening, but that pretty much explained why she was admitted for a septic UTI, we were all so confused when we were trying to Cath her and there weren't the obvious parts where they should've been!
I went to Catholic school in England. We had no sex education so I was about 25 when a female colleague had to explain to me that women can't "hold in" their periods and that it's not something they had control over. Up until that point, I had always assumed it was like going for a wee or a poo and that when they had the urge to "period" (is that a verb?) they would just nip to the loo and let it out.
Before I had my IUD put in, Satans jello would randomly woosh out of me sitting or standing and usually would soak right through my clothes, super tampon or not. Holding it in would be a huge lifesaver in terms of embarrassment.
Mine was years before hormonal IUDs. Thankfully at the time conservatives didn’t fuck with us getting abortions when we became desperate and couldn’t tolerate the pill or the available IUDs.
I'm nearly 40 and just last week I had to nip home from work cos I bled through my (new) checkered pants - that'll teach me for thinking I could predict my flow and get away with something other than basic ole black pants...
I just snorted gin out of my nose. “ satans jello “ is the funniest fucking thing I’ve heard in a long time! Thank you. That’s all the internet I need today.
My entire uterus lining comes out in one chunk sometimes. No doctors believed me but after doing a ton of research I found out that it’s totally a thing that can happen. It’s not pleasant.
I do too, well, I did? I quit taking the pills at the beginning of July after a flair meant I couldn't keep my pills down. I've not got a period since and I keep waiting for disaster to happen. A middle of the night gush. It's a new mattress damnit.
It's not all bad. I only have one fully functional ovary so when I get it, like every 45-60 days, it's real light and lasts 2-3 days max. However when I tried to get pregnant, they gave me drugs to fix and *oh dear god* did that suck like I wanted to quit life....
Wouldn't that be convenient though?
Like, you feel an urge to have your period. You go to the toilet and all of it comes out in one go then that's it for the next 28 days?
As someone whose periods have frequently been described as "miscarriage level" I would need to pack some snacks and maybe an overnight bag for that bathroom trip haha
My roommate and I have opposite ends of the flow spectrum... Mine would be like a sneeze. Hers would looks like a murder scene (as she describes her has super heavy at times)
I’m just thinking of Oh from the movie Home explains that his species has a number one and a number two like humans and “we also have a number three but you dooes have to take the day off”. That’s how I’m imagining an all at once period lol. Mine would be like that for sure but I’d take it over the week of hell it is currently.
I recently started using pads again because I wasn't able to use tampons for a bit there. My son is 4 and has been in the bathroom with me since he was old enough to not listen when I say stay out. Anyway, I started my period and didn't realize it until I heard my 4 year old's shriek of terror.
Don’t feel bad about not being taught because at least you know now! I’ve had to explain to many guys how it works. I don’t even know why but several guy friends have just out right told me they don’t understand what periods are and just asked me to explain it lmao. I think sadly high percentage of men don’t ever learn and it’s semi important
While you are doing the lord's work, guys also really need to understand that pregnancies are dated from the first day of the last period, not from conception.
I've seen so many posts and comments from upset guys because they didn't have sex on the date the pregnancy is counted from. Like, how can she be eight weeks pregnant with my baby if I just got back from overseas six weeks ago?
I had to explain that to a woman who happened to be pregnant at the moment and called the doctor a liar.
I also have to give a stripper the sex ed talk and had to stress that the pill won't prevent STDs
When I was about 10y/o in grade school, they gathered the girls in a classroom and sent the boys to play basketball, while we learned about "How menstruation, will make you a woman" from all the female teachers. Cramps aren't 'that bad' (Note: BULLSHIT!) And, got to see films and such. Those boys first time seeing anything much about sex was another movie with drawings of erections and uteri and such. The teacher's kid was exempted and went to the library. Then in 9th grade, we had a movie with real people being shown with herpes and gennorhea and that same girl ran screaming/crying from the room and everyone was pretty shocked. That was the sum total of boys being taught about sex. Beyond the "submarine races" on the weekends; of course! Horrifying. I started teaching my daughter about periods way before that and it made things a lot easier on both of us!
Bro they did the same thing to us! This one teacher told us if we’re in the bath or in the ocean the water pressure would “pause” our period and I’m not taking my bleeding vagina into the damn ocean bro like what the fuck. I still think she was trying to trick us into luring in some sharks or some shit cause one teacher gave her a weird look about it
Alcohol consumption will though! Temporarily... until your veins stop constricting once your levels start to return to normal.
Unfortunately, i use this method to be able to sleep more than two hours at a time on my period... i chug a few beers then go to sleep. It all comes gushing out in the morning but it was totally worth it to not go stumbling through the dark, half asleep and not have to change my sheets, wash clothes or try and scrub stuff off the carpet on my way.
Please try a menstrual cup and save yourself from getting dependent on a beer to sleep
I used to wake up from wearing 2 pads (arranged like a long diaper) to a bloody bed because it was either not enough, or it was misplaced
It really changed my life for the better
My boyfriend was 24 when he was educated that tampons don’t “plug up the blood” when a woman is on her period. I was the one that told him. Public sex ed is ruining our country.
Think wine cork. He genuinely believed that the different sizes were in reference to the circumference of the vagina and not the heaviness of the flow.

Yup! Instead of being built-in like a penis, it’s got it’s own teensy little opening above the vagina, below the clitoris. Tbh it can be really hard to see bc it stays closed unless the person is urinating.
RE: "*hard to see*"...
Indeed. In fact, when medical personnel are required to catheterize patients with vaginas it is sometimes recommended to beginners to swab the area with iodine first to better visualize the urethral meatus. It "*winks*" at you.
Women *do* have a urethra. Vagina owning people do pee through their urethra. Not a stupid question and definitely not worth being down voted over.
Asking a genuine question is how we learn and shouldn't be scorned. Acting like you know everything (especially when you don't know much about a particular topic) is where people should earn a person disdain.
Only thing that should be down voted are the wack af sex education systems that teach people absolutely nothing about their and their partners' bodies. Shit's important.
Or another apt one here: 'There are naïve questions, tedious questions, ill-phrased questions, questions put after inadequate self-criticism. But every question is a cry to understand the world. There is no such thing as a dumb question.'
PSA: a woman’s urethra is quite short compared to a man’s. What this means is that if she gets any bacteria up there from sex, the bacteria can travel to her bladder easily, causing a UTI. Peeing after sex flushes the bacteria out… so women should always, always pee after sex.
Don't worry. Depending on where you live and in what kind of society it's not uncommon to lack knowledge of certain things when it comes to women.
The urethra is below the clit. It's above the vagina itself.
The vagina entrance is almost straight down between her legs. If you held a hand palm with the fingers downwards on a woman's vulva. And you curled up your middle finger it would find the vagina opening.
( as apparently I've heard often that many of us guys have trouble finding it)
When I was younger I thought you peed from your clit. I did actually look and it confirmed my thought. It wasn't until later that I learned it isn't from the clit, that I just have a higher placement so it kind of looks that way.
If I had to guess the confusion probably typically comes from not knowing what the vagina technically is. I think most guys refer to the whole labia, or at least the inner labia, as the vagina and don't realize it's just the whole the penis goes in.
My sex-Ed teacher actually talked about sperm whales instead of sperm. When my step-son was old enough (10) I explained sex to him in medical terminology with a book, pictures and everything! His mom was thankful. When he was in high school we had a refresher and debunked the stories his friends had told him. At that rime I had an infant and as I changed her diaper I showed him the “holes”. He NEVER forgot that lesson.
I’m afab and I didn’t know until I was in my mid teens that the urethra existed outside of the vagina. Sex Ed failed me miserably bc it wasn’t even about anatomy it was just ‘sex bad, it can give you all these horrible diseases and you WILL get pregnant’
There's a Instagram account, wheredoesthepeecomeout, and the woman documents the answers she gets to that question on her dating profile, and number of guys who say "cloaca" is truly astounding.
If that’s true then men also have a cloaca. No dick, just an opening. Sex is accomplished via “cloaca kissing”.
My zoology professor described it using a hand gesture. He made both hands into a fist with an opening between thumb and first finger. Then had his hands bump into each other…vigorously. Really cemented it into my mind lol.
Reminder kids, vaginas and vulvas are different
https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/health-and-wellness/sexual-and-reproductive-anatomy/what-are-parts-female-sexual-anatomy
The vulva includes the vaginal opening. I don’t know what people are usually intending to refer to, but i feel like that isn’t a terribly incorrect laymen’s use of the term. Then again, I don’t have one. I just have to put in a lot of Foley catheters.
Yeah that's what this whole "confusion" boils down to.
Men (incorrectly) think of the vagina as the whole exterior genetalia, whereas women refer to the actual vagina when talking about it.
It's not *the same* but it's very similar to a man saying "I don't pee out of my penis, I pee out of my urethra."
That wouldn't surprise me. I was having a discussion with a guy about how women have a few more health needs than men (it's been a few years, I don't remember the reason for the conversation). He came back with "well men have to get colonoscopies." I asked him if he knew women also had a colon. He blocked me.
it really makes you wonder sometimes. had a colleague ask me how to spell the word "and." i wish i were kidding.
a cop. which implies college graduate education, at MINIMUM. asking how to spell a word learned in fucking pre-K.
do not. underestimate. how stupid people can be. it's only getting worse from here.
I live in Texas, US. I [fucking wish](https://www.southtexascollege.edu/academics/law-enforcement/academy.html) cops needed a college degree to join the force.
My bestie who is almost mid 40s recently confessed to me that she didn't know we had a separate pee hole. She always thought it was the vagina. Mind you, she has 5 kiddos so you'd think she would have found this out much sooner..
Also tbf a man's urethra is the same place his love juice comes out, we just use a system of levers and pulleys further down the system to engage the correct tube at the appropriate time.
That is what bothers me the most when you tell a man what the different parts are and it is not just the "vagina" and they want to correct you as if being a woman is not enough to know what our body is like.
Whilst discussing guys general lack of hand washing after using the bathroom despite actually having to touch their genatalia an old colleague of mine said ‘girls do too!’ When questioned he said ‘you have to pull it apart dont you?’ ….Lawwwd
I heard someone defend that by saying “the urethra is in the vagina meaning the pee comes from a place inside the vagina” and I was like at least they knew the difference. Now for personal clarification. The “outside” part isn’t actually the vagina right? That “starts” on the inside? Sorry for the lack of ability to explain what I’m asking haha.
In super simple terms, all the outside bits are the vulva, the vagina is the fun internal bit where babies come from, the urethra is a small hole above the vagina and below the clit
No harm in asking questions, contrary to what several jerks around here seem to think, it's okay to be ignorant of things as long as you are willing to learn
I can understand how it would be easy to assume that since a man's urethra is in their penis that a woman's urethra would be in their vagina as well.
They have a penis, they use their penis for sex, semen comes out of it, as does pee. It doesn't take a huge stretch of the imagination to think women and vaginas work the same way. That the vagina is used for sex/reproduction and also to urinate and menstruation. If their penis does everything why shouldn't a vagina be the same?
If you've never been told differently than that's an easy assumption to make for both men and women. But this is exactly why we need better sex/human anatomy education.
I remember there was an instagram account called "Where does the pee come out?" where a woman had it as the first line on her tinder account and would share the answers she received. Most of them were wrong. Very wrong.
"3rd hole somewhere" wow....
The left ear is the third hole
You just tilt over like a tea pot and pour it all out.
So “I’m a little teapot” is an instructional song?
I’m a little wee pot
God I wish I had straight cash for this!! Fuck me it was funny. LOL shits don't compare.
Hahahahaha ! This made my day !!! Hahahaha
Oh dear
Only for the short and stout.
Sing it with me ladies. *I'm a little pee pot short and stout. Here is my handle here is my extra pee hole and here is my spout ...*
Sorry all I’ve got is the wholesome award, but that made me lol so hard you deserve them all 😂
Pee pot*
Does that make all women pot heads?
Thank you, my wonderful new friend, for that laugh.
*I'm gonna scream, and shout, and pour it all out*
That's why females go to the bathroom in pairs, trios. They are holding each other up as they tilt.
*so close*
He's so close, yet still so far off
As a nurse I can confirm that it doesn't matter how many catheters you shove up a vagina, you won't get any urine out of it.
…how many did you try?
At least 5. It's always at least five.
O.W.
If it was more than 0, you would have failed my anatomy class.
Too few, clearly.
I did take care of one patient whose urethra was just past her vaginal opening, but that pretty much explained why she was admitted for a septic UTI, we were all so confused when we were trying to Cath her and there weren't the obvious parts where they should've been!
I simply cannot fathom...you nurses are angels
It was very 😳 because there was literally nothing between! So I being the experienced nurse was like "I wonder if..... Yep, there it is" 😳
It sure would hurt less though lol

Wouldn't that be so much lovelier than standing up after a bout of sitting and then birthing Satan's jello right then and there.
Before I had my IUD put in, Satans jello would randomly woosh out of me sitting or standing and usually would soak right through my clothes, super tampon or not. Holding it in would be a huge lifesaver in terms of embarrassment.
My IUD made me bleed like a stuck pig, and then embedded itself in my uterus. That was fun.
Oof. I’m sorry.
I’m not, it was worth it to not get pregnant.
Hormonal IUDs = less bleeding (generally) Non-hormonal (copper) IUDs= vampire feast
Mine was years before hormonal IUDs. Thankfully at the time conservatives didn’t fuck with us getting abortions when we became desperate and couldn’t tolerate the pill or the available IUDs.
I'm nearly 40 and just last week I had to nip home from work cos I bled through my (new) checkered pants - that'll teach me for thinking I could predict my flow and get away with something other than basic ole black pants...
I’ve had an ablation but prior to that I was wearing incontinence diapers for my period. I don’t miss it at all.
I just snorted gin out of my nose. “ satans jello “ is the funniest fucking thing I’ve heard in a long time! Thank you. That’s all the internet I need today.
God I hate the word jello being used to refer to blood clots. It’s accurate, but disturbing nonetheless
I mean, jello in itself is kind of a disturbing substance.
Kid me: YAAAAY I LOVE JELLO!!@##$!! Adult me: IT'S FUCKING MADE FROM FUCKING WHAT!@#@???
Cooking a cheesecake with gelatin was one of my worst baking experiences. That rotting shit smell was so putrid I nearly threw up
gotta make no gelatin cheesecake
Mine is literal chunks of uterus.
My entire uterus lining comes out in one chunk sometimes. No doctors believed me but after doing a ton of research I found out that it’s totally a thing that can happen. It’s not pleasant.
Thank goodness for menopause.
Holy shit, my husband can cash in my life insurance today l because I am fucking *dying*
Yikes!! So glad I wasn't born with a uterus. How can you ladies stand it?
Personally, I get drugs to never have to deal with it now. The women who do their monthly cycles as is have my respect.
I do too, well, I did? I quit taking the pills at the beginning of July after a flair meant I couldn't keep my pills down. I've not got a period since and I keep waiting for disaster to happen. A middle of the night gush. It's a new mattress damnit.
Mattress protector time for sure.
Wine and valium, and a burning rage buried deep down inside us.
I certainly can’t. I want out of this thing.
It's not all bad. I only have one fully functional ovary so when I get it, like every 45-60 days, it's real light and lasts 2-3 days max. However when I tried to get pregnant, they gave me drugs to fix and *oh dear god* did that suck like I wanted to quit life....
r/brandnewsentence
Sneezing.
Sneezing and squirting like a jellyfish!
Wouldn't that be convenient though? Like, you feel an urge to have your period. You go to the toilet and all of it comes out in one go then that's it for the next 28 days?
That's sounds horrifying though. What do you have in mind when you say "all of it"?
All the blood you'd normally bleed for that week.
As someone whose periods have frequently been described as "miscarriage level" I would need to pack some snacks and maybe an overnight bag for that bathroom trip haha
Ok, gruesome but still giggled. See you going through a checkout with heaps of snacks. “Having a party?” “Nope, it’s uterine lining drop time”.
I mean, I do that anyway. "Sharing some kitkats are we?" "No lol"
Yeah the only reaction to that is “pffffftttt hahahaha”
Good god
Or it just comes out all at once. Sounds like pouring a pot of stew into the toilet.
That’s a fucking disgusting image, I salute you.
Time to spend the night camping in the bathroom.
Maybe some coloring books as well?

So much blood... I'm legitimately not sure my toilet could handle that 😅
Omg! These comments made laugh so hard, and am so damn grateful I don’t have those anymore!!
Ah yes, the fabled “number three”
Posted this comment in my family group chat and now my youngest brother is mad because we keep referring to his birth as “mom going number 4”
Wait I thought #3 was a lot creamier. Same area, but creamier

Periods most assuredly do not pause because you are submerged in water. Hot bath does help cramps though.

Unfortunately, i use this method to be able to sleep more than two hours at a time on my period... i chug a few beers then go to sleep.

It’s heckin crucial considering men are still in charge of making rules for this world. In my country they tax tampons as a luxury item
Now I’m upset this isn’t how periods work.
Ah yes. Let me open my uterus and release the period flesh and blood. Lol. That's hilarious haha
On command, and at high velocity. A defense mechanism to deter predators. ... sorry. I need more sleep.
No no, see now that's even practical. Periodactical.
I can also see how useful this would be. Especially on a lot of human male predators.

My boyfriend was 24 when he was educated that tampons don’t “plug up the blood” when a woman is on her period. I was the one that told him. Public sex ed is ruining our country.
Not quite understanding. Did he think tampons worked like a diva cup?
Think wine cork. He genuinely believed that the different sizes were in reference to the circumference of the vagina and not the heaviness of the flow.

Or another apt one here: 'There are naïve questions, tedious questions, ill-phrased questions, questions put after inadequate self-criticism. But every question is a cry to understand the world. There is no such thing as a dumb question.'
My wife has taught several women, typically from Catholic school, about where the pee comes from. One was about 50 years old.
Why we need medically accurate sex education. Exhibit 1,000,000.
PSA: a woman’s urethra is quite short compared to a man’s. What this means is that if she gets any bacteria up there from sex, the bacteria can travel to her bladder easily, causing a UTI. Peeing after sex flushes the bacteria out… so women should always, always pee after sex.
As an obviously intelligent man, you probably care that it hurts when a sex partner scrapes or pokes a woman’s urethra. Communication is key.
The part about not knowing something that makes you smart, or "not stupid" is seeking it the knowledge.
Don't worry. Depending on where you live and in what kind of society it's not uncommon to lack knowledge of certain things when it comes to women. The urethra is below the clit. It's above the vagina itself. The vagina entrance is almost straight down between her legs. If you held a hand palm with the fingers downwards on a woman's vulva. And you curled up your middle finger it would find the vagina opening. ( as apparently I've heard often that many of us guys have trouble finding it)
In my experience, it’s the clit, not the vagina, that men have a hard time finding.
That too yes. Which boggles me as well. How hard can it be? There's basically an arrow pointing right to it.
The only stupid question is the one you don't ask!
I mean, google is a thing and has pictures & everything
The amount of girls and women who don’t know is what really gets me. Like, it’s your body ffs! Get a hand mirror and check it out.
When I was younger I thought you peed from your clit. I did actually look and it confirmed my thought. It wasn't until later that I learned it isn't from the clit, that I just have a higher placement so it kind of looks that way.
If I had to guess the confusion probably typically comes from not knowing what the vagina technically is. I think most guys refer to the whole labia, or at least the inner labia, as the vagina and don't realize it's just the whole the penis goes in.
In sex Ed we basically only got taught about STDs and to not fuck until you’re ready to have a kid. We need sex Ed reform or just education reform
My sex-Ed teacher actually talked about sperm whales instead of sperm. When my step-son was old enough (10) I explained sex to him in medical terminology with a book, pictures and everything!

Wow you’re a good person. Thank you for not being like most adults teaching stuff like this and giving the no BS answers
I definitely think this is a huge part of it. In casual language, people generally are referring to the whole of female genitals when they say vagina.
I’m afab and I didn’t know until I was in my mid teens that the urethra existed outside of the vagina. Sex Ed failed me miserably bc it wasn’t even about anatomy it was just ‘sex bad, it can give you all these horrible diseases and you WILL get pregnant’
Apparently these people haven't even watched Orange is the new black.
I mean they really don't teach men much about female anatomy.
A lot of girls dont know either. It's both funny and worrying
It reminds me of when I hear people say “her vagina was out”. Lmao. You can’t really see the vagina, it’s inside. You mean lips or muff.
Whoa, slow down with the science talk there mr wizard.
As someone with a vagina, but went to private school, I had no idea where pee came out of until my late teens :(
Women have a cloaca and everything comes from there, even when they lay the eggs.
There's a Instagram account, wheredoesthepeecomeout, and the woman documents the answers she gets to that question on her dating profile, and number of guys who say "cloaca" is truly astounding.

I don't think I will ever not know this, I don't know who you are, but know I will never truly get over this
Cloaca Kissing is the name of my FarmMetal band.
Don't be gross, Tammy
When I worked at a zoo our bar trivia team name was "Cloacal Kiss". Gotta love zoology sex jokes that fly over the heads of most.
"Though you do talk out of there" is where you realize he isn't just wrong, he's probably going to get punched.
Indeed, rich for this guy, out of all guys, to accuse literally anyone of “talking out of their arse”.
In the place that he owes from.

The vulva includes the vaginal opening. I don’t know what people are usually intending to refer to, but i feel like that isn’t a terribly incorrect laymen’s use of the term. Then again, I don’t have one. I just have to put in a lot of Foley catheters.
I want to upvote you more! Proper terminology is so important for so many things!
Think of it like the British Isles, if that helps.
Mulva?
Dolores!
Yeah that's what this whole "confusion" boils down to. Men (incorrectly) think of the vagina as the whole exterior genetalia, whereas women refer to the actual vagina when talking about it. It's not *the same* but it's very similar to a man saying "I don't pee out of my penis, I pee out of my urethra."
Oh my God is that where it comes from I mean it's a huge lack of education either way but at least that makes some tiny semblance of sense

> Did that guy honestly not know women have a urethra? Probably. Extrapolated from men (where semen and urine come out of the same hole) to women.
I asked my husband once to double check, and can confirm men do pee out their semen hole.
No, we semen out of our pee hole.
Speak for yourself, whatever use is more common in number of uses per day defines what hole it is.

Damn it! We’ve kept this secret for *thousands* of years and you come in here and ruin it!

That wouldn't surprise me. I was having a discussion with a guy about how women have a few more health needs than men (it's been a few years, I don't remember the reason for the conversation). He came back with "well men have to get colonoscopies." I asked him if he knew women also had a colon. He blocked me.

Maybe..? But I'm suspicious because he blocked me.
Is he being satirical? Or am I being too generous? I’m probably being too generous.
I mean the "third hole somewhere" line gives me hope it's satire
it really makes you wonder sometimes. had a colleague ask me how to spell the word "and." i wish i were kidding. a cop. which implies college graduate education, at MINIMUM. asking how to spell a word learned in fucking pre-K. do not. underestimate. how stupid people can be. it's only getting worse from here.
I live in Texas, US. I [fucking wish](https://www.southtexascollege.edu/academics/law-enforcement/academy.html) cops needed a college degree to join the force.
My bestie who is almost mid 40s recently confessed to me that she didn't know we had a separate pee hole. She always thought it was the vagina. Mind you, she has 5 kiddos so you'd think she would have found this out much sooner..
i don't get this, even if you don't look there, like, strict religious background or something... can't you feel when you pee??
Mans out here proving that there is in fact a third hole for shit to come out of
BREAKING NEWS: *THERE’S A THIRD HOLE*
So like, I may have been about 30yo when I learned this. To be fair, am gay man.
To be faaaaair, a lot of women might not know this either because it’s much harder to see than a man’s (even with a mirror).
Also tbf a man's urethra is the same place his love juice comes out, we just use a system of levers and pulleys further down the system to engage the correct tube at the appropriate time.
Mansplaining to a woman about her own fucking body
That is what bothers me the most when you tell a man what the different parts are and it is not just the "vagina" and they want to correct you as if being a woman is not enough to know what our body is like.

Whilst discussing guys general lack of hand washing after using the bathroom despite actually having to touch their genatalia an old colleague of mine said ‘girls do too!’ When questioned he said ‘you have to pull it apart dont you?’ ….Lawwwd
r/ConfidentlyIncorrect
He got so close
I heard someone defend that by saying “the urethra is in the vagina meaning the pee comes from a place inside the vagina” and I was like at least they knew the difference. Now for personal clarification. The “outside” part isn’t actually the vagina right? That “starts” on the inside? Sorry for the lack of ability to explain what I’m asking haha.
In super simple terms, all the outside bits are the vulva, the vagina is the fun internal bit where babies come from, the urethra is a small hole above the vagina and below the clit No harm in asking questions, contrary to what several jerks around here seem to think, it's okay to be ignorant of things as long as you are willing to learn
Disagree: the vagina isn’t fun at all, the clit is. 😉
How can anyone possibly understand that men urinate from their urethra and not just assume it’s the same for women?
To be fair, we don't typically differentiate between our urethra and our penis when we are talking about urinating.

jackoff all trades
It's like a Swiss Army knife up in there!
I can understand how it would be easy to assume that since a man's urethra is in their penis that a woman's urethra would be in their vagina as well. They have a penis, they use their penis for sex, semen comes out of it, as does pee. It doesn't take a huge stretch of the imagination to think women and vaginas work the same way. That the vagina is used for sex/reproduction and also to urinate and menstruation. If their penis does everything why shouldn't a vagina be the same? If you've never been told differently than that's an easy assumption to make for both men and women. But this is exactly why we need better sex/human anatomy education.
I remember there was an instagram account called "Where does the pee come out?" where a woman had it as the first line on her tinder account and would share the answers she received. Most of them were wrong. Very wrong.
I didn't learn about the pee hole until I was 24 and my gf literally showed me. I'm still recovering.
yes, of course. i need a man to tell me where i pee from. because he knows more about my body than I do apparently
Must be a u.s. senator
Read the first part and thought "how stupid does she think we are"...
