Things you never knew about the other sex until recently

(I keep thinking we had one of these threads recently, but I can’t seem to find it, so…)

I feel like an idiot (so much for that fancy college education), but I only recently learned that girls pee out of a different hole.

And that they have luxurious lounges in their restrooms.

And that their hip bones extrude out into little points on each side.

What other little things are there? They can be physical, behavorial, whatever.

They don’t seem to realize that putting tits on display* will always attract male attention.

*define “display” however you like.

Depends on how you define “different”. We have a urethra just like guys do, though the opening isn’t located in the clitoris (the analog to the penis). If you mean you thought it came out of the vagina or something, then you’re right, the hole is different from that.

Yeah, I always thought it came out of the vagina :smack: I figured that’s why they wiped afterward.

That some guys don’t like underwear that has too large of a fly opening, and doesn’t have a little button to keep it closed. Apparently their penis can stick out the opening, though still under their trousers, and that feels weird.

Hell, even I didn’t know that.

Then again, I don’t really ask my friends about their penile fashion habits.

Wouldn’t you still need to wipe no matter what hole it came out of? It’s still going to be damp in any case.

Well, the thread about sitting or standing to wipe a couple of months ago was informative, mostly because a lot of us never thought to wonder about the mechanics of what happens to your block and tackle when a guy sits on the toilet.

Recently I looked up IUDs. I vaguely knew what they were, but not exactly.

It seems like you’d get a wound having a hard pokey thing pressed against the same place for long periods of time.

I found out when my friend was in the hospital and asked me to go buy him a few boxers and tshirts so he wouldn’t have to be naked under those stupid gowns. I bought the wrong kind.

It sometimes is, but it just as often isn’t. There is no toilet paper near the urinals in the men’s room.

I have a recurring dream (nightmare?) where I am wearing only boxer shorts, and things are perpetually hanging out or otherwise exposed while someone else is present…such as my mother, little sister, a co worker…ugh.
Recently, maybe year or so ago, I learned that many women do not drop their pants all the way to their ankles to pee. Amazing! I surveyed nearly every woman I knew and it seems fairly common. It’s something I’ve never considered or even seen in a public bathroom as a guy.

Don’t feel too bad. I have a female friend who thought the same thing.

Well, I meant even if you thought women peed out of their urethras. Which they do. The OP made it sound as though he thought women peed out of their vaginas and that’s why they wiped.

I knew the average woman sought out status in a man. What I didn’t know is that it isn’t always out of crass materialism: it is literally what turns them on.

I’d almost feel better if it was crass materialism.

And in some cases, that’s exactly what happens. Ever heard of a perforation? It’s where the IUD passes through (read: gouges a hole into) the wall of the uterus and ends up somewhere else in your body, where it has to be surgically removed. My experience wasn’t as extreme as perforation, but I promise you complications do exist that are not pleasant.

I came into to say I knew some guy who didn’t know women pee out of a(n?) urethrea. I just figured it was because he was gay he just lacked a fundamental interest in women’s anatomy. I guess it’s a common misunderstanding!

If there’s something I don’t already know about men, I don’t know what it is. Sometimes I feel like my own sex is more of a mystery.

Did you know that one of our balls hangs lower than the other, and for good reason? Do you know why they “hang” at all? Do you know why we have “morning wood” (it has nothing to do with our “special” dreams)?

You may know all the answers to these questions, but from my experience many/most women do not. Ignorance is asexual. :slight_smile:

Ah, sorry. I took your reply to mean you thought men wiped, too. I understand why women would need to wipe no matter what but I think only really fastidious or incontinent men do.

Hell, I’m a guy and I don’t know why one ball is lower than the other. Or why we have morning wood. I assumed it was some sort of routine check, “Brain ? Dick speaking. Everything’s in order, mate. Check it out : it’s 4 AM and we’re already ready to fuck !”, is there another reason ?

Are you suggesting that it’s NOT just for my amusement?
