Oh no! They might learn vaginas exist! 😱 /s

From what I gather, they won't if the vagina havers have anything to say about it.

One time I was talking about the importance of trap-neuter-release programs in the car back from the GI Joe movie and my uncle aggressively shushed me because my cousin was 12 and they hadn't told him about sex yet. It took me until like literally this year to realize my family are all fundies because until the last few years they'd been very pro education.

Purely out of curiosity, how long ago was this? Cause if your cousin had access to the internet, there's a 200% chance he already knew what sex was.

No because that branch of the family didn't allow internet at all and he didn't even start laughing at ball jokes until 14. Honestly I never even really heard him talk about friends outside his siblings. Like I'm steadily realizing that my family was actually literal fundies.

You are just now realizing this?

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

It can difficult to realise patterns like that when you grew up with them in your life.

Yeah my parents went the "don't ever ever talk about it and pretend it doesn't exist" route.

The internet taught me quite a bit before my school even bothered. And my school was the Bible-belt abstinence-only kind of education.

Dafuq does trap-neuters-release programs have to do with the GI Joe movies*?

*If this involves me understanding something from the plot of GI Joe the movie, imma also need a thorough recap.
