Tumblr may not just be for looking at photos of adorable animals or finding nail art inspiration (though in my opinion, those are still two wonderful uses for it). Last month, based on the suggestion of a friend that “someone should start a site where adults share the worst advice they ever got in sex-ed classes as a teen,” one Tumblr user did just that. BadSexEd.tumblr.com was thus born. The best part? It’s not just a blog where the stories sent in are funny (though, hearing that women pee through the clitoris is certainly amusing, albeit a little scary!), it’s also a page that serves as a laughter-driven reminder of what not to do as a sex educator. Think of it as a witty form of negative reinforcement.
