Is it normal for these adults in their 30's clueless about sex?

One of my virgin co-workers thought that her period, piss, and shit came from the same hole. A male co-worker who was also a virgin thought the same about female anatomy.

Another thought that her birth control pills protected her from STDs.

And another thought that she can just wash all semen out of her vagina with vitamin water.

In each situation, I corrected all of them and they all panicked for different reasons. Is this crap normal?

    While I find what you describe sad to the point of bordering on tragic, I'm willing to believe that what you say is true. There's no shortage of stupid, uncurious and sexually inhibited people, and far too many women don't know much about their own sexual anatomy, how their body functions or sex in general.

    These days, there's no valid excuse for that, since it's not difficult to find credible information.

    I have to suspect that the women were brought up in sex-negative families living in a part of the world where schools aren't allowed to teach kids anything at all about sex, their parents never talked about it, and they got the message that "down there" is filthy, and good girls completely ignore that part of their body. It can be very difficult to get past that sort of early conditioning, and some people never manage to do it.

    That must of been gut wrenching for those guys and gals to realize that birth control doesnt effect stds... I would highly recommend them to get tested.

    I mean im pretty sure sex ed in some places is literally just telling kids to be abstinent cause the prude teachers don't want the kids having better sex than them.

    Who the F is still a virgin in their 30s?

      Don't lay all the blame on the teachers. I'm sure there are many who are uncomfortable talking about sex, and I'm sure that it's even more challenging if you're facing a bunch of sniggering, know-it-all young teens, but teachers have to conform to whatever rules are set by school boards. If they dare to ignore those rules and are completely frank, it's certain that a horde of religious fanatics of one brand or another will attack them for defiling the minds of their innocent children (who are most likely fucking like deranged bunnies behind the parents' backs).

        I mean I have a pretty low opinion of education in this country anyway. Far as I remember the health class I took in high school was basically just some karen type lady showing lifetime movies telling everyone to be abstinent or theyd get STDs or pregnant like the people in the shitty movie. The final test was based off how well we remembered story points of the movies.

        Take it from somebody whos slightly more experienced with recreational substances than the average person, "Pharm parties" where kids raid their parents cabinets of random pills so they can throw them all in a punch bowl and eat random handfuls of medication, Dont fucking exist like she said they do.

        The parents get some of the blame too. Dumbasses think if they scare the kids enough they wont have sex til they're married, and you wind up with adults thinking dumbfuck stuff like birth control prevents AIDS. Its crazy that this day and age theyre literally repeating "Dont have sex" over and over to teenagers and calling it Sex Ed.

          Yeah, none of those supposed high school trends that adults come up with to clutch their pearls over ever actually exist. Remember tide pods? Do you know how many teenagers actually intentionally ate tide pods? 86. They were dangerous because old people and little kids thought they were candy, not because anybody was actually eating them on purpose. More adults die from(among other things) playing with fireworks, falling into the Grand Canyon, jumping on trampolines, and running with the bulls. Alcohol poisoning kills more people every single day than tide pods have killed in their entire existence.

          Parents and adults in general really seem to think the sex itself is the problem, not the STDs or unwanted pregnancy it can lead to. Ask them if they’d rather have their teens have safe, protected sex with everybody in their school or have unsafe sex with one person and you’d probably get a really depressing answer.

            Yeah, as 10th or 11th graders we all knew that kids werent all swallowing handfuls of pills and going to crazy orgies and stuff. Pacts between groups of high schoolers to all get pregnant at 15 weren't happening. And plenty of kids that age have had sex at least enough to know you're pretty unlikely to get pregnant your first time with a condom.

            It takes away from anything potentially helpful that we could've gotten from the class cause we all knew that the movies we were watching were ridiculous and put together to scare parents and so the class had zero educational value. I imagine its got to be worse in really conservative religious areas where sex ed is either "Abstinence only" or doesn't exist and the parents won't talk about it either. Probably a lot more pregnancy and STDs places like that, and they just use the kids that fuck up as examples to further scare the rest of the kids into puritanical abstinence.

              Oh for sure. I think those adults are just absolutely destroying any credibility or trust they have with their kids, so the kids stop listening to anything they’re told. The whole thing about marijuana being a gateway drug is BS, but if a kid is raised by parents who act like weed is just as bad as heroin, and then they find out marijuana is mostly harmless...what are they going to believe about heroin? Probably whatever they’re told by the kid who tells them weed is mostly harmless. Maybe that kid tells them heroin is actually much worse and should be avoided, maybe that kid gives them heroin too. But these parents are completely abdicating their responsibility to educate and protect their kids because they want to avoid uncomfortable conversations.

        I've only watched the second half of that movie. I can't find it streaming anyway. I think my grandmother would love it.

    I once knew a Pentecostal kid whose mom told him babies out from the bellybutton.

        I dunno, I grew up in Texas, not Appalachia so I had to google holler. I had a basic idea, but it's not a word I heard every day.

          I grew up far away from both of those places, and it's certainly not a word I ever use in conversation. Thinking about it now, I hear it being spoken by Irene Ryan's Granny character in the Beverley Hillbillies, so I guess I must have picked up the usage and meaning there.

    Men generally know the square root of jack about female anatomy and periods unless they have a fetish or fascination surrounding something involving female genitalia (pee, menstruation, squirting etc etc) because male sexual education focusses very little on female anatomy.

    As for the woman who thought she could wash semen out of her vagina with vitamin water and the woman who thought birth control pills could prevent STDs, this points more towards an inherent lack of education about feminine hygiene and sexual awareness in society.

    Kudos to you for trying to educate all 3 of them.

    Okay, I was a shy kid in highschool. Too shy to approach students of the opposite sex, but that didn't deter me from joining and secretly aquiring info about sex from the more mature looking groups of students. In fact, shy as I was no one could ever believe I belonged to student groups that broke most school rules from dusk till dawn.

    That person you're describing sounds too ignorant for their own good.
