There's a whole subreddit dedicated to laughing at all the people who are clueless at how girls work, and it's gold. Created in 2018, it already has over 230k members who are constantly sharing the dumbest and most ignorant things they've read about the female body. And believe me, there are plenty of them. Some have no idea why women can't cancel their periods, and others... Well, just continue scrolling and see for yourself.

How can someone think that? Every organ would stay perfectly put, but a uterus would come flying out? WHY?

Well, to be fair, a femal orgasm will make conception more likely because a contracting cervix 'dips' into the sperm. i've once ssen that on camera in a documentary (BBC?) and was VERY impressed. (Also by the fact that the participating woman climaxed with a camera inside her.)

Hah. Also explains the orgasms: say, conception May 1869, give birth Feb 1870 --- just too damn uncomfortable for anything in Jan 1870, and then too exhausted for the rest of 1870 (and 1871) with quadruplets....

Requiring orgasm to get pregnant was part of official Catholic teaching in the middle ages. Initially that sounds like a good misconception, but actually it had legal ramifications if a woman became pregnant from abuse - it implied she was a willing partner.

This was a genuine belief back in the day. It was believed that a woman could only get pregnant if she had an orgasm. Where it came up was in cases of pregnancy by rape. Since it was believed that a woman couldn't orgasm during rape (wrong), if she wound up pregnant it meant she couldn't have possibly been raped and it was consensual. Meaning she basically got screwed twice because men had no understanding of basic female biology.

I read a great book, History Laid Bare, by Richard Zacks, about sex in history. "...it was widely believed throughout much of recorded history that a woman's orgasm was ABSOLUTELY necessary for procreation to occur...any man who wanted to be a father had to make sure that both he and his wife had an orgasm. And there's little doubt that misconception led med to deliver hours of added attention to millions of medieval women....It wasn't until the Victorians that medical science proved that a woman’s orgasm wasn’t needed for procreation, and certain prudes used the discovery to downplay the importance of woman’s sexuality.” (Pages 65 - 66)

I have a vague recollection from my younger years (maybe 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade) of reading a book about life in medieval times (I think) and learning that, if wives "misbehaved" they were attached to a stick and held bobbing in the water, while a person on land, held the other end (there was a cartoon picture and everything). Either that, or they were just drowned.

An orgasm helps draw more sperm to the ovary that is ovulating, and increases the chances of a pregnancy occurring, but is sadly not a requirement.

Actually, before "modern" medicine (i.e., the Victorian Era) that was a common belief and men were encouraged to hold off their own until his partner had one. Whether this was effective or not is not reported.

Why do guys come up with this nonsense? I want to slap so many people - his mother, his father, his teachers, and everyone in the educational system. They need to come up with a mandatory pop-up book on male and female anatomy for guys that they have to read 50 times before they graduate high school. Give them a punch card, like at Subway or something. And women should not go out with guys who don't have the full card punched. This level of idiocy is depressing.

I think this ancient myth started really well meaning so that men would put effort into pleasing their women. So when women started to get pregnant shortly after not being in the mood, suddenly women were faking disinterest. It’s a tragic tale we’re all still suffering really.

There's a really funny Norwegian comedy about Vikings called Norsemen and one of the characters in it thinks exactly this; that a woman must have an orgasm in order to become pregnant. This person has exactly the same mindset regarding biology, as a fictitious Viking.

There's a bit more story to this one actually. The numbers were off the charts because the logistics people had to assume something would go wrong, and she might have been stuck in orbit for way longer. Basically same thing with food. If they send someone up for a week, they pack a month's ration.

The father and the whole family answered that the only times the father hit him it was because he tried to throw his brother through a window.... Plus his antisemitic drawings and texts went public few weeks ago.
