Before reading the thread here, it never occurred to me that there was more than one way to wipe your ass, especially for men. ---

I didn’t know until about three years ago that women had a separate opening for peeing. I thought pee came out of the vagina and they had to remove their tampons to urinate. I was 32 when I was laughed out of the room by my then-girlfriend. Married her anyway. ---

**isthatsowrong?** , you’re not alone. I’m actually thinking that I could make a killing doing travelling demonstration lectures on female genitalia. 😉 ---

They don’t deserve us, is all I’m saying. 😉 ---

I suppose I can always go back into lurk mode… Up until a few weeks ago, I had no clue that nuclear power plants were used to produce…power. I thought they existed solely for the purpose of constructing A-bombs and whatnot. :smack: ---

I still use the “bunny ear” method to tie my shoes. You know, where one hand makes a loop, and the other hand makes a loop, and then you cross them over… I never learned a “proper” way. All I know is that people gawk at me when they observe me (slowly) tying my shoes. ---

I have a difficulty remembering which direction is left, and which one is right. I also am completely LOST with the alphabet… after “abc” I have to recite the whole thing if I’m doing something alphabetically, such as filing. I have no idea if g is before f or if h is after. And, you might think I’m TOTALLY pathetic, being female and whatnot, but **I** never knew that we womens had a seperate hole for peeing. I always thought we had to take out the tampon and whatnot. I know, I’m a sad excuse for a female. ---

Jarbaby said, “But no fair! YOU have to admit something.” I made out with a guy at a party in a bedroom (unbeknownst to the other guests) and came back to the group WITH MY SHIRT ON INSIDE OUT. Dead giveaway. I couldn’t lie my way out of that one! ---

Well, I had to go read another [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3554936) to come up with something to post here, but I must say that until moments ago, I had no idea that women experienced the same levels of sexual frustration that men go through when they go a while without. I guess women just hide it better. ---

Up until about 3 years ago, I wondered what ENDS MEAT was and why people with financial problems had so much trouble making it. Don’t they know the recipe? And why didn’t they just get ground chuck? it’s gotta be cheaper. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Breezy \* > \*\*I’m not sure if I’m sharing too much, or if this is the sort of thing you are looking for, but I have NO EARTHLY idea what an uncircumcised penis looks like. No clue. My husband has tried to tell me before, but it just doesn’t make any sense to me. > > I don’t get it. \*\* Ditto for me. And frankly, I’m beginning to forget what a circumcised one looks like! That was sharing too much, wasn’t it? If I ever have to spell the word “arithmetic” (and really, it doesn’t come up very often), I still have to do the memory trick “A rat in the house might eat the ice cream”. ---

I have a callous on my right middle finger that I’ve always attributed to writing with a pencil as a child. It doesn’t hurt or anything, it’s just there. Anyway, whenever someone says “your right side” or something similar, I discreetly feel for that callous with my index finger. It’s how I know right from left. Callous=right, no callous=left. ---

I never knew until recently that when a man has a vasectomy that the cut job is to the scrotum, not the penis. I was a bit embarrassed. ---

Well, shit, I didn’t know the pee/tampon thing either until about 2 years ago. And I was a peeing tampon wearing woman at the time, too! (I still pee, and I still wear tampons, and I’m still a woman. I just happen to not be doing the first two right this very moment. 😉 ) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/admit-it/181398.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/admit-it/181398.md?page=3)
