Ok so I will kick this off. I clearly did not pay attention during sex ed cos here I am mid 30s just finding this out.

Your pee and your period come out of 2 different bits.

Astonished when I found this out today reading reviews on moon cups.

Anyone got any to add?

My exh got to 45 without seeing a vagina in the flesh - he had no idea what one liked like really.
I was in labour when he did!!

NotUmbongoUnchained · 04/09/2018 17:53

I don't understand this? Was it not his kid you were pushing out? Confused

To back the OP up on missed sex education/biology lessons.

I thought foreskin was the bellend, and ultimately getting circumcised was cutting the helmet off the end of the knob.

I think I was about 23 and said something along the lines of "circumcision must make them have much smaller willies" and my DH was like what the fuck do you think is foreskin 🤦🏼‍♀️

Johnny Depp is older than Nigel Farage.

Firstly this has shocked me more than anything....ever! What?!?! How?! WTAF. I have no words. I don't want to believe you. There is no way that's true. I'm worried for you, genuinely!

Allthatglittersisgold · 04/09/2018 18:02

Smaller willies Grin too funny.

Nah surely not.

Mrbatmun · 04/09/2018 18:03

Johnny Depp is older than Nigel Farage.

I heard of another celeb who was the same age as Nigel Farage and I was like WTF, but I can't remember who it was now!

Plumsofwrath · 04/09/2018 18:08

It’s exceptionally rude to scoff at ignorance like this. I’m sure there’s plenty each poster doesn’t know that could be scoffed at Hmm

iklboo · 04/09/2018 18:11

I think it's Brad Pitt that's the same age as Nigel Farage.

PawneeParksDept · 04/09/2018 18:15

How did you not know that your wee comes from your bladder and your period from your uterus?!

My mind is blown by that OP!!!

Aprilshowersnowastorm · 04/09/2018 18:15

Sex in the dark!! Grin

PawneeParksDept · 04/09/2018 18:17

Ok I'll give one

John McCain died at 81

His mother attended his funeral.

MrsGrindah · 04/09/2018 18:18

I get you OP. I didn’t know until I was well into adulthood. Never used tampons and never really thought it all through. Let’s facevit when you wee and wipe it all feels like it’s coming from the same place. Also to the PP who sneered “ Have you never looked” . No I haven’t.Ive never looked up my nose either

misstblue2 · 04/09/2018 18:23

this only dawned on me the other day but i may be wrong
walkers ready salted crisps are called this because the salt is already on them where as smiths salted crisps have the little bag of salt in there so you salt them yourself
who knew not me obviously

Loch Ness is twice as deep as the North Sea. I was standing looking at Loch Ness at the time so ultra mind blown.

The Falklands are near Argentina! Blush I always thought they were near The Shetland Islands and that Argentina was just being really cheeky wanting them Shock

ShirleyPhallus · 04/09/2018 18:28

To be fair OP I asked this question to a group of guys a few years ago and they ALL thought that girls only have 2 holes not the full set of 3

They were mind blown that we have a wee hole. Sat and pondered it for a bit then came the immortal question....

“So...... is it big enough to put a finger in?”

Ginger1982 · 04/09/2018 18:28

Ginger1982 · 04/09/2018 18:29

The rapper Flo Rida is from Florida 🙄

AamdC · 04/09/2018 18:32

Apparently lots of people thought they were off the coast of scotland somewhere just before the falklands war JayZed.

KingLooieCatz · 04/09/2018 18:35

There is a village called Falkland in Scotland.I went out with someone from there and the post was apparently forever going via Malvinas.
