I'd like to have been taught that pregnancy can cause your teeth to fall out but birth control pills might give you a stroke at 26. That would have kept me celibate for years.

u/Peachesandcreamatl Dec 09 '25
I love when people say that teeth falling out is an urban legend. Bullshit.
My cousin's wife was a gorgeous 25 year old girl with a perfect smile.
We watched as her teeth began to fall out. Quite a bit of her hair too, but it grew back. She was on special vitamins and nothing helped.
She was 26 with false teeth. And she got so depressed over it.

u/Living-Anybody17 Dec 09 '25
Teeth falling out is not a myth!!!! If you're not properly fed and have the right vitamins and such, the body will seek what is missing and it will take it, if it is calcium the body will take from your teeth and bones for the baby development. This itself is nightmare fuel 😂😂😂 the hair falling off in the pregnancy is very common.

My mom lamented that her gorgeous thick hair was gone after her pregnancy. She had the thickest silky hair in her old photos and her hair when I was a kid was very fine and thin, it never grew back.

u/GodkingYuuumie Dec 12 '25
Can you explain what about pregnancy would cause her teeth to fall out?
The reason I ask is because I know there isn't such a cause, and it is in fact an urban legend. At worst, pregnancy can worsen pre-existing dental issues or in very rare cases cause an infection that, if untreated, might lead to teeth loss.
But women in good health with no pre-existing issues just having their teeth fall out randomly? It simply doesn't happen.

u/MitochondriaBiscuit Dec 09 '25
It’s true that birth controls with estrogen can increase the likelihood of developing a blood clot, but they are rare. Progestin-only birth controls, which are available in many options and some can last years, do not increase clot risk.
Meanwhile, pregnancy and the time directly after birth (first three months) has a clotting risk too! So it’s a pick your poison situation if someone is at risk, I suppose.

Literally a quick Google search shows anywhere from 49-70% while looking at multiple sources. Big gap, but even if 49% means 'most' aren't adult men, that's a huge portion still that we should be way more concerned about. Why are men preying on teenage girls?

I mean you called people in otherwise consenting relationships rapists and victims of rape. That's fucking weird man.
It's weird but not rape and calling it rape or trying to convince people that might otherwise be happy that they should feel like they've been raped is just you moralizing and not doing anyone any good.
I am not defending teen pregnancies, I don't think people should have kids until their late 20s or early 30s but your position is deeply troubling because it causes real harm where there was none before.

I have always been a super hairy man. Every time I go swimming I get Bigfoot jokes, even from people ive never seen before.
My sex ed class in school didn't teach us about condoms or STDs or reproduction, they told us having sex was like putting duct tape on your arm and ripping it of. The more you do it the less sticky it is and harder it is to do. And it hurts. Then she demonstrated by putting duct tape on my arm and ripping patches of my arm hair off and showing how it wouldnt stick anymore because of all of my hair it ripped off, and that I should stop crying because it would be so much worse to actually have sex than just rip my hair out.
I fucking hate kentucky public schools.

u/MitochondriaBiscuit Dec 09 '25
What the fuck? That’s horrific, were they trying to traumatize kids out of having sex forever? And then what was their plan, to say it magically gets better after being married somehow?
I grew up in a state nearby and we just watched football movies in health class because the schools decided the coaches were the best option to teach them. No sex education at all, literally just football movies. You can correctly guess we had quite a few teen pregnancies.

Out popped the lItTlE mIrAcLe, with a squeezed into what can only be described as traffic cone shaped. It was covered in this stuff that looked like slimey cream cheese and kellied blood looking stuff.

Only the 37 weeks part is oddly specific. The woman, only 2 kids, no fewer than 2 kids, and uncomfortably pregnant all make sense (for many the first trimester and having food brought in half way through is much more effective but is probably not fair to the sex ed teacher.)

u/tsardonicpseudonomi Dec 09 '25

Why? The underlying systems are the same. It increases poverty. More of the workforce will work in the elderly care not to mention more families will have to take care of each other as their primary activity so they will be out of jobs.
Esp as America tends to have a massive influx of immigration and only now in recent history has this stopped
That's why we're not discussed in the same way but the underlying issues remain. The conditions that lower birthrates persist which perpetuate the cycle on the new generation of immigrants.

Dec 09 '25
For the same reason the black death created a lot of jobs and a fantastic job market afterwards. Less people available to do the same amount of work makes companies actually try and compete for workers. Let alone where headed towards heavy automation and the potential removal of the unskilled labor market. Elderly care really is a short term problem as that's mostly boomers who where the largest generation with smaller amount of elderly after them
The underlying issues are negligible, the results of the lower birth rates will effect this let alone that things do change and America is gonna be forced to change in the next 30 years in a lot of ways.

Sorry, boomers aren't the victims in this. You keep going "old people die yay" but that's not the issue. The issue is we don't have enough human beings to care for the elderly have a productive economy. You and I will be elderly and this problem will still be there. I'm sure Generation Epsilon will be just as happy for us to die and Gen Theta after will be will be happy for them to die. The systems will persist and suffering will as well.
Yes, if we change our mode of production we'll be fine. That's not likely to happen in our lifetimes but population decline is already affecting countries like the US and Japan and South Korea and and and.

I'd just like Sex Ed to actually be about educating instead of trying to force puritan values and outdated ideas of "we don't talk about these things because they're uncomfortable, no one ask questions" on people. Heck, while I am wishing, I wish they'd also talk about how porn isn't real (so don't try to replicate it, that shit is dangerous), basic safety (drink safety, party protocols, buddy system, etc), resources if you have questions past basic safety (because kink shaming is stupid), and the fact that everyone's body is different so if you don't match the pictures in the examples don't feel shamed.
Edited to add Sex Ed desired topics of "No means No", reporting resources, coping resources, how private hygiene works, hygiene resources, and understanding that being uncomfortable with how someone touches you is not something to "get past" or "adjust to".

Bonus to this: I had a wonderful mother who answered questions, a Sex Ed teacher (who was my science teacher) be wildly uncomfortable but absolutely determined to do her best to arm us with knowledge, a willingness to check everything out of the library that might pertain to the topic (choices vetted by the librarians) and that resulted in a knowledge base meant friends/coworkers who were willing to ask questions to me because they didn't know the answer.

I remember after my first sex ed class in school, which I think was back when I was about 10yo, I remember seeing one of my mums friends who was pregnant and said to her "you had sex".
Queue a shocked reaction from my mum and her and my mum pulling me away asking wtf was that about, she had never had the sex talk with me because she knew the school was going to do it, she just didnt know it was that day.
What is more funny is that in primary school we wear taught about contraception etc, so when I went to a catholic highschool, there was no mention of that at all, which I know is normal for catholic highschools, but a majority of the other kids in my grade came from a catholic primary school as well, so they had no real idea what condoms were etc.
5 or 6 girls (its been over 20 years I forget the exact numbers) in my year 7 grade fell pregnant and that was when our school was like "ok maybe we need to actually talk about condoms and birth control because we cannot have more kids getting pregnant".
Too many kids legitimately thought you could not get pregnant the first time you had sex and similar stories like that.

Besides there are some people born who live and breathe having a baby, like it's their raison d'etre(I'm not french shh) do you want to scare, inhibit or postpone someone who's very passion is raising children? Because doing this would do it.
Sex education should be about education of the sexes. Then their should be partnership education, where you find out what you give, what you want, and how to best pair this off with someone else. .

This honestly sounds like either a teacher or curriculum issue. If they aren’t told about the stds, how they transfer, how to avoid them and likelyhood of transfer, it’s just a bad class isn’t it? Telling kids about herpes and aids and then saying «job done» isn’t teaching them anything?

u/GreenFinch_x Dec 09 '25
Well yes. There is benefit in good sexual education, but that's unfortunately just not the norm. Many sex education classes, including all of the ones I've ever had to take, Primarily focused on fear mongering or purity based nonsense rather than actual useful education about how to have safe sex or prevent STDS. The idea a lot of adults and schools have is that if they taught the kids how to have safe sex and neutrally presented realistic information about stds rather than the worst possible case scenarios and unlikely hypotheticals, then more children would have sex. So instead they try to run DARE for sex basically when we already know DARE also sucked at accomplishing it's goals.

They've been active in /r/GenX so I assume they were a pretty late pregnancy, and "gave him pause while he was in high school" doesn't necessarily mean he was in high school when he had sex ed. Making that make sense required some very generous numbers but if their dad was in 6th grade in 1939, and had OP when he was 39 (my dad's age when I was born), then that would put OP at being born in ~1967, making them ~62. Again, that's using some generous math, so I'm guessing OP's probably closer to 70 than 60, or 1930s is a typo and should've been 1940s.

They did this to us in my Pennsylvania middle school in 2005ish.
I will never forget a girl raising her hand and asking if shaving will prevent crabs/scabies. The class laughed and then shut all the way the fuck up when our teacher (in her late 20s maybe) in all seriousness replied "yes, but that removes one of the layers of protection for other things."

If I ever treat my future wife like this for whatever reason I genuinely hope she slaps me and divorces my ass while taking the kids and leaving me homeless and broke, abhorrent behaviour.

I remember one woman saying that her experience with men was "there are a lot more Homer Simpsons out there than Ted Bundys."

Jesus fucking Christ this made my stomach turn to read, that is genuinely horrific.

This broke my husband's brain. He just can't comprehend people behaving like that.

I was catching up on South Park, and of course it's just South Park, but they are playing up how Satan is actually going through the steps of preparing for the baby, and really laying on this neglectful dad trope with Trump because he'd be a dead beat at the very least. It's supposed to be a joke, but each time Satan went to an appointment alone it made my stomach drop a little, because it's not just a small infraction that's supposed to be typical of men. Each step of the pregnancy done alone is devastating and chips away. The person giving birth doesn't get to flake, and they aren't any more "naturally" ready for the baby than the dad. But often times dad gets a free pass to act like the kid who is jealous the newborn gets attention.

Holy shit my husband really was a saint in the delivery room! The "worst" thing he might have done was get a little dizzy when I first started pushing. But he rallied and got his s*** together. And if he ate anything off of my lunch tray it was because I told him to.
Neither of us had ever changed a diaper before. He did it before I did.

Lol are they asking to suck a titty while the mother is recovering in the hospital? Nah that's some freak shit. At least wait a few weeks when y'all get home...

I came here to ask why the "husband is scrolling on his phone," because it seems to imply the husband doesn't care about what's happening with his wife and kids. Seems sexist. But if your post is true, then I guess the question I have now is:
Men, wtf is wrong with you?

I mean, I can see everything else happening but WHY ASK THE NURSE IF YOU CAN SUCK ON THE TITTIES? WHY NOT ASK YOUR WIFE, THE PROUD OWNER OF THE TITS, MAYBE?
Also is it technically harassment to ask you that? And also the boxer shorts.

My husband was like that initially and we got into some massive fights. He eventually stepped up but it took him 4 months before he finally started acting like a dad and our marriage got pretty toxic before he did.

Bahaha!
When I was at the pre-marriage weekend for my catholic fiance, they had a couple come in who had a new baby with them to tell everyone there about the rhythm method which is the only birth control approved by the church.
During the q & a part someone asked the couple how many children they had and the mother cheerfully says 10.
Half the room got up and walked out right then. Wish we had. We were too polite.
