  • I told this to some French speaking friends when I first found out a few years ago and they were totally non-plussed. Seems like only native anglophones enjoy this fact.

    Then again, in France younger people might use the English word “cool” despite the fact it sounds like the French for ass (“cul”). Probably used to it.














  • In Scotland we had a VHS the class watched when we were 9/10 which had a basic diagram of intercourse. The voiceover said, “Note how they fit together, like a jigsaw puzzle.”

    Seared into my brain. I remember asking if the sperm from the video “could think” like tadpoles did. Never got a proper answer!

    Then secondary school had lessons about the reproductive cycle in mandatory biology class. Slightly later, when we were 14 or so, they had demonstrations about how to put on condoms.

    Edit: btw does anyone know if sperm can think? k thanks
