Naivety at it's finest...

I didn't know anything beyond the basics of sex until I was abouuuuut 19ish, give or take a year or so.  JW's, in general, are not allowed to take the usual Sex Ed classes they provide in middle school (you don't want your kids learning about condoms and birth control when they're supposed to wait until marriage anyway, so why bother), so, it left for some rather intersting conversations growing up.  I remember teaching my bestfriend at the time the "bird and the bees" via the huge medical encyclopedia I found in my parents bathroom (a lot of reading apparently went on in there). 

 

At any rate, I had no clue.  I remember in high school (the continuance one) being in a conversation where oral sex was discussed (not in detail...clearly).  Not to be outdone, I indicated that I was quite "well-versed" (seriously, I used "well-versed") in oral sex. I thought it meant you had talked about sex, so yeah, I was fluent!

 

At any rate, I received a few odd looks and couldn't figure out why.  I asked why I was looked at funny and was asked out I could know so much about oral sex considering I was so obviously naive to pretty much everything.  My answer was "Who hasn't?".  I answered that way because of the instant panic I was experiencing realizing that what I thought oral sex was maaayyyy not be what they're talking about.  Also, I really didn't want to seem uncool.  I failed.

 

A friend of mine stepped in a took me aside and asked what the definition of oral sex was.  I gave him what I thought was a "well-versed" answer and he nearly died laughing.  When it was explained (finally) to me, I was really grossed out.  I couldn't believe someone would ever put there mouth anywhere "near there".

 

There was another time where some douchebag in class asked if I had ever played with a clit.  I assumed it was an instrument and said "I've never taken music lessons".  That was fun.

 

At any rate, the urban dictionary and a few knowledgeable friends became an excellent source of information until, of course, I started figuring stuff out on my own.  Thankfully, I have since learned and have become "well-versed"...sort of.
