Sex ed
Back in the early nineties, when I was a tender 14 years old, I was happily sitting in class at school when the teacher announced, obviously very embarrassed, that he had to teach us about sex that day.

The teacher himself was openly gay, and had confided in me earlier that day that he wasn't sure how the class would take being taught about sex by him (I've no idea why he chose to share that with me, aside from me being teachers pet).

Anyway, the lesson went on and he stumbled and farted his way through explaining what was what, and how things happen, seemingly painfully unaware that the most popular girl in class had spent the thirty minutes in class before he'd turned up telling everyone loudly about her best mate (of the same age) believing she was pregnant after a one night stand.

I remember thinking at the time that I'd probably learn more from the discussions that a class of thirty young teenagers had, than through the mumbled words of an ever-reddening form teacher, but was still open minded enough to listen to him.

Until the subject turned to STDs, and he said to us all that an easy way to prevent symptoms was to urinate very soon after sex, as the acidity in wee would kill any germs.

And he wasn't kidding when he told us.

Thankfully I was smart enough not to believe him (ok, in truth, I was far, far too shy to ever come close to finding out for several years).

I often wondered if he followed his own advice. Especially as, three years after I left school he was arrested in the toilets of a local park doing far worse than the type of things George Michael made headlines for.

Believe it or not, it's an entirely true story.

He wasn't completely clueless
urinating straight after sex can help reduce the likelyhood of any cystitis or irritation to the urethra.

So it doesn't prevent STDs per se, but it is a sensible thing to do.

:)
he was very definite about the "prevention of" part though.

Weeing after sex is fine, but it's a sod changing the sheets after lol

(it was a joke about wet bed sheets or one about weeing during sex...)

What do wellies and George Michael have in common?
They both get sucked off in bogs.
