Amazed you did that without smirking
"I think the term, "losing" one's virginity is an unfortunate term. It implies the person doesn't know when, where, or how it happened. It is clearly a Victorian hold-over.
The treadmill is not nearly as much fun. In fact, treadmill is just boring compared to a long love making session....
Facts 😂
do both at the same time?
The state of sex education in the states is just ridiculous xD except for the survey data, all of these would be answered probably correctly by most 13 year olds in the EU. Its really one of those things I could never wrap my head around... you hate abortions, and argue about "protecting children" yet ur sex ed basicly askes for teens to get pregnant (highest teen pregnancy rate in the devloped world by a landslide, including 16% misscarriages). Between that and your gun fetish its no wonder you have one of the highest adolesence mortality rates in the developed world ...
but that way at least the states are still number 1 at something amiright ....🙄
so long as you keep it in mind, it's not _all_ of us americans who are "like this"
we have to live with these contradictory loonies.
every.
single.
day.
and, trying to get those lost souls to see the light, is like trying to prevent a dog from licking itself
Its really weird to feel so strongly about how other people live their lives when it doesn’t impact you.
@@WARnTEA it's weirder (in my eyes) to be so oblivious / flippant, regarding the consequences that regularly are imparted upon people, from how others "live their lives"
if there weren't any problems, this wouldn't be a discussion
shezario and i, instead, would be "living our lives" and worrying about other things
@WARnTEA while I recon it's not what you where trying to get at :I agree with your statement, its weird for people to push for abortion bans, book bans and trying to police intimacy of others on a massive scale simply cause it doesn't allign with ones personal beliefs.
The indircretly made asssumtion, this would not affect me however is shortsighted and neglegts the overall impact US policy has on the world. Whether it's drug policy or anti abortion movements, many political ideas are brought over other countries due to political pressure, shaping the reality of others through US based lobbying.
Take canabis for example, the reason it got initially banned in Germany was the insistence of the US after ww2 to adopt their drug policies as part of the peace contracts.
Like it or not, the US is still the biggest influence in the world, and while I'd wholeheartedly agree, that much of its initial influence was overall positive, its now mostly driving hardcore libertarian economic ideas and right wing conservative values based in scripture...
@@WARnTEA the perfect example just came up for my case:
Germany is discussing a law to ban people harrassing women on their way to abortion clinics, as it has become an ever increasing problem. One of the main Groups in question doing this shit is from a US Based initiative called "40 days for life" ... This is a 100% imported issue cause our lunatics listen to the Lunatics over in your country...
I will have everyone know that I did NOT request that Titanic joke but I love it!!!
"Recreating 'Titanic' French Girls Scene" = "Prob Sex" 🤣
And "playing Twister" scrolling onto the screen as "def sex"!
Justin, buddy, I think you're gonna need to do a part 2...AT LEAST
Love the wide variety of images you found! Phallic cactuses (ouch!), a pair of blue balls on a plain background, the tail of a Virgin airplane….
Sti testing isn’t a free pass for unprotected sexual acts.
Some STIs don’t show up in testing for 6 months and even if you are asking for a full panel it’s not uncommon for HSV 1/2 to not be tested for. So get the testing done but wait six months after your previous partners before removing barriers from the equation.
recreating the dirty dancing lift is also definitely sex
"Some blood"
Everyone who's ever had a period: 😂
Glad to hear blue balls doesn't cause damage because it sure feels like it does.
Maybe me taking health in elementary, middle and high school i didn’t fall for the misconceptions.
*sees thumbnail and title* Ehh, do I really need to watch this?
*completes watching the video* Hm. No, I don't think this was all that useful to me..
(hashtag grey-ace)
Eh, think of it like anthropology. Learning about a culture you're interacting with can be useful, even if you're not assimilating into that culture!
@@CritterKeeper01Hm yes. I probably also should have said that I already knew most of these things anyway. But thanks for your view on the matter :)
Great now whenever someone talks about how its unhealthy to have Violet Bogart Syndrom, i am just gonna lean in like Willy Wonka, "you don't say". "Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker"
Nice, 4.2 calories per session for me then!
I’ll not have Mr. Blickman defamed in such a way, he was a true Casanova mixed with Dr. Ruth.
Deep kissing is a new term for me. I'd heard that normal kissing became known as French kissing in the US after GIs returned from WW2 with tales of how French girls would use their tongues, which was apparently a bit risqué by American cultural standards of the time.
My high-school biology teacher on the subject of using the calendar-based birth control strategy before explaining the irregularity and unpredictability of periods:
"There's a specific name we use to describe women who use this method... 'Mommy.'"
Mom's an ObGyn, so if ever I have questions, I just go pester her. The funniest part is I am rather sex-adverse, and my mother knows it. So whenever I ask, she's like "for another story?" I then agree and give her all the relevant details that might get a clearer picture.
do my own research? what bad advice, my mother never believed I was 'researching' :)
pretty sure if my balls are actually blue i will be in pain and needing medical attention
Your chest hair is grossing me out
The nice thing about the definition of "sex" being so open to interpretation is that whether you want to be considered a virgin or not considered a virgin, you can just by choosing which definition to go with.
Also protected oral sex makes no sense. It takes out most of the pleasure from the giver - no smell, taste, or texture.
It still makes the receiver happy, and protects both from disease. Not as good, but not completely without merit.
There are ways to mitigate that, e.g. thin flavored condoms.

MY BEST FRIEND KNOWS SO MUCH!!!!

A+ video!
Fascinating misconceptions!
get your volume setting sorted out..
Refusing to use proper terminology for basically any reason is woefully ignorant of reality, disrespectful to the entirety of the human species, and ultimately just plain stupid.
We aren't "people with vulvas" and "people with testicles", we're women and men, plain and simple. No prejudice here, just honesty.
thx - well presented
Loved this so much!
Just here to see if an educational channel will finally address the fact that squirting is just pee
Don’t forget the misconception that there are more or fewer than 2 sexes
You'll have to fight actual biologists on that. Bring your PhD
Wait, I thought this was a kid friendly channel? 😅 (Unleash the Karens)
Kids need to know the truth! Sex education cuts down on teen pregnancy, among other things.
@@CritterKeeper01 I completely agree! Sadly, so many schools are pulling away from teaching the misconceptions.
gGayyy
The fact that we typically put a noun in front of "sex" when talking about non-intercourse stimulation, *_might_* be an indication that these don't count as "sex".
On the other hand, gay couples -- particularly lesbians -- will tell you that when they simply use the word "sex", it means something other than the kind of intercourse you're thinking of... so that's not a universal linguistic rule.
Exactly the opposite. We add adjectives to speciffy kind of sex it actually is
If I tell you we had sex, you have no idea what we did. If I say we had anal sex, now you know
The adjectives are proof that all of these are sex. Sex is oral sex’s last name.
That might be an adjective.
@@magrelaTechnically, it's called an adjectival noun.
@@IceMetalPunk it would, if it weren't for adjectives with adjectival suffixes such as -al.
What was the relevancy of you adding that they were white?
If you mean surveys, it shows one more way it was a biased sample.
Studies typically should be as randomized as possible across the population you're studying (which, for sex studies, is "all sexually active adults"). Otherwise it lessens the predictive power across the unstudied groups. So it's important to indicate if the sample is limited to less-than-random demographics, like "all white", "all in a small age range", "all from a similar area", etc.
First?
x According to the book The Scholar Warrior by Deng Ming-Dao (he teaches Eastern philosophy practices), having sex till climax releases an enormous amount of bodily energy and the constant practice of doing that makes it difficult to maintain a certain weight.
o That is part of the reason many students of the practice avoid having sex to build that energy (also they avoid trying to have sex without climax).
o He also teaches that the energy released upon climax weakens the immune system's ability to fight off disease and dysfunctions.
x "Let's Talk About Sex" by Salt-N-Pepa was the #1 hit in Germany on my 12th birthday.
x Everyone that I have ever known has always agreed that having sex is when the penis enters into the vagina.
o BJs, going down on, hand jobs, finger banging, anal sex, dry humping, masturbation, hypnotism etc. are ways that people avoid having sex while doing other things that are generally (in some sort of way) related to the act of having sex.
x The band Cherry Poppin' Daddies (they had the hit "Zoot Suit Riot") is a reference to the act of breaking the hymen.
x In the book The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, Ester loses her virginity to a math professor and hemorrhages heavily enough to have to go to the hospital (it does not say specifically that her hymen was broken).
x For Blue Balls, any real pain in the balls is psychological.
o I can believe there are those that have blue balls like The Smurfs, The Blue Man Group, Nightcrawler, and Beast.
o The idea of Blue balls is similar to being aroused to a point when one's rational mind shuts down and all subsequent choices are emotional.
† Meatloaf experiences that at the end of the song "Paradise By the Dashboard Light."
x I think I have heard of people calling period sex "Vampire Sex."
o Actually, a #1 hit not long ago was "Vampire" by Olivia Rodrigo (awesome music video!).
o The favorite film of Daniel from The Cobwebs Channel is Fright NIght (1985), watched that the other night and it was fantastic!
o The last film I saw in the month of November of 2023 was Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
o One of my favorite vampire films is Let Me In (2010).
x I remember people being concerned that they would get an STI from using the same toilet seat as someone with the STI.
x I watched the film Easy A (2010) the other night, the school guidance loses everything after she gives a 22-year-old high school student chlamydia.
x On the tv show Strangers with Candy, after deflowering a male classmate Jerri Blank gets "syphillis infested with crabs which are carrying gonorrhea."
x The worst STI is from the film It Follows (2014).
x If someone asks if you are crabby, just respond "Yes, I have crabs."
o It's even funnier if it isn't a joke! JK
x In the area of sex, here are some of the services offered by the underground on the internet:
o Teaching on effective techniques of dirty talk, an area of widespread dissatisfaction for couples.
o Techniques of command sex.
o Tutorials on the importance of foreplay and the psychology of why women want it and why guys tend to skip it (they use phrases like "when getting warmed up, women are like an oven and men are like a microwave...")
o Hypno Sex
o Teachers (at least one in which is a married couple) who literally have sex on the videos while they are teaching techniques.
o Dynamics of having sex with multiple partners.
o Even tutorials for programs where one person is creating and sharing emotional states (includes highly unusual emotional states).
