76% of people

Debunking Sexual Health Misconceptions
32% of people
think a person who menstruates can’t pee with a tampon in.
They can, it’s a different hole. Females have two openings: their urethral opening and their vaginal opening.
1/4 of people
think women exclusively fake orgasms.
Men can fake orgasms, just like women.
It’s possible for men to ejaculate during sex without experiencing an orgasm. Orgasm and ejaculation are two separate physiological processes that usually occur together but can also happen independently.
Very few of us actually understand our bodies or the bodies of others… and that’s a big problem for women, men, and future families.
Only 35%
of people feel educated about the menstrual cycle and pregnancy prevention
Only 18%
of people feel educated about their own hormones
Only 1/4
of people feel educated about ovulation
have no knowledge about the ovulatory period
