A recent BuzzFeed Community discussion revealed that many women experience strange bodily functions that they initially thought were abnormal, underscoring the necessity for improved sex education in the United States. Stories ranged from the surprising secretion of colostrum before childbirth to uncomfortable moments like 'pee shivers' and misunderstandings about natural occurrences such as decidual casts. These shared experiences showcase not only women's challenges with bodily functions but also the critical knowledge gaps that need to be addressed to support better understanding and acceptance of normal bodily processes.
"Colostrum. I assumed breast milk started after a baby's birth and that it was white like cow milk. Wrong! A couple weeks before the delivery, clear yellow stuff started leaking out. Why TF does no one tell you this?"
"When your fart bubble goes up to your vulva...I had no idea how much of a universal experience that was." - artisticorca74
"I think this applies to men too, but every time I sat down to pee, I did that little 'pee shiver.' I used to think it was just me..."
"I didn't tell anyone, even though I was worried I was dying. Years later, I came across the term decidual cast and realized what had happened." - emmaskrey
