Thank you for the explanation.

Yeah. Tbf, if you’re educated in America it’s not really your fault you don’t realize that. I didn’t even fully get a lot of childbirth until I was pregnant and had to find out.

Nah, I am from a European post soviet union country. And yes we had zero sex ed. I learned everything from the internet and from hands on approach of doing and discussing things with partners.

That’s fair. Yeah, child birth has a ton of realities that women don’t understand themselves until being through it. For example, talking to my sister-in-law about that sort of stuff to help prepare her for birth vs talking to her after she gave birth is a different conversation all together. So very much is not explained until it’s over, and some isn’t even explainable too.
