back to my college days (yes, back when the earth's crust cooled).
One of my friends and classmates was gifted with a really wickedly twisted sense of the absurd. Loved him for it. One day, he was not feeling well, and, at his fiancee's and my insistence, went to our college butcher shop. . I mean, health center. She and I were having lunch in the student union when he came in, grinning. We asked him what was going on, so he told us. While he was sitting waiting for the doctor, he overheard the doctor and a female student talking. Apparently the pregnancy test had come back positive. My friend heard her protest, "But, Doctor he told me it wasn't his fertile period." (Now, understand that my alma mater has a pretty sound academic reputation, with students from some of the best secondary schools in the country. But here was a student so ignorant of basic human biology that she actually believed that bs.) My friend's reaction was, "I want to find that guy and sign him up and bottle him. Anybody who could pull off a line like that. .he has a future in politics." (Told you he was weird.) His fiancee and I were horrified that the young woman could be so clueless.
Second story, related to me by a friend, a couple of years after the above incident. One of her relatives and her mate were "in the mood", but he was worried. She reassured him, "of course we are safe, it's right in the middle of my cycle." The twins turned out great.

As they were going to bed, my buddy's friend turned to his wife for some romance. She said, no, that she had a headache.
He said, "I don't want to put it in your head"
He didn't put it anywhere near her for a long while after that

(24,104 posts)she was a very naive young lady. No one had ever educated her about sexual matters. My dad, home from the war in Europe was a bit more worldly at that point. My mother swears on her wedding day she had no idea what a male and female did as the sex act, and no idea how women got pregnant. The honeymoon must have been interesting. They loved each other madly until he died in 1990 and my mother remained alone until she passed away in 2004. They raised three children, all boys. I was the youngest, the other two were twins. They are 74 and still both living.

Mother asked her mother- in law - [my wonderful grandmother], how the baby got out?
Gram simply replied, 'the same way the baby got in'.

(2,459 posts)One afternoon my "grandparents" were sitting on the porch swing when my "grandmother" slapped him right off the swing. He say there dumbfounded and asked "what the hell was that for?!?!" She responded "that's for having a small penis".
My "grandfather" got back on the swing and a moment later knocked her on to the porch. She asked "what the hell was that for?!?!" He responded - "for knowing there's more than one size!"

(17,066 posts)We had a Planned Parenthood clinic (once a week) at the counseling center where I volunteered as a teenager, and I freely admit most of what I learned about sex (from the clinical standpoint) came from there. Pretty sure the high school's sex ed was a joke, although I usually cut that class so can't really say for sure.

How awful for her.

(17,066 posts)... in a supposedly fairly enlightened area, but we got all sorts of weird calls from (usually) young women who were clueless about fertility. Possibly my favorite: "If a guy jerks off in a pool, and I'm swimming at the other end, can I get pregnant?"
Which raises all sorts of alarming images.
