Sex-ed, 9th grade-- showed a video. It's scarred in my retina for eternity I think. It was hilarious to look up after the movie was over and see every guy in the room pasty white while the girls were just laughing. :D


Was this better or worse than the nasty ass STD pics they showed you in sex ed?

You mean the ones where they showed syphilis left untreated in a dead man? Worse. :p

I have to agree.

it is a rather disgusting event. but once they clean up the kid it sneat heh

Well Im working OB this month so I'm seeing 4-5 a day. It does look kinda gross to have a liter or so of blood/amniotic fluid gush out along with a "cheese"-covered (or worse, meconium) fetus. But after a while you get used to it.
