- You shouldn't be having sex
if you can't ace the secondary school sex ed quiz.
If you don't get 100% on this quiz,
you are banned from sex.
100%.
If you have been here for a single video I've ever made,
you probably know I am a big proponent
of improving sex education in schools.
Today, we're going through a sex ed quiz
to see if my sex education as a gynecologist
meets the standard.
See if you can get more of them correct than I do.
I'm going to be really embarrassed
if I can't answer these questions.
(bright music)
I don't even know what secondary school is,
like what ages this would be.
Secondary school in the UK.
Yes, I see the loop of hair on my head.
It is bothering me also.
I'm sorry.
It seems like year seven and eight
would be like 12 year olds.
Which of these STIs are you more susceptible to
if you shave off your pubic hair?
Pubic lice is definitely not the answer to this
when pubic lice lives in the hair of the pubic area,
and shaving off your pubic hair
means that there's no place for the lice to live.
This is similar to like
getting lice in your hair on your head.
If people are bald, they usually don't get lice,
so that's definitely not the answer.
Chlamydia.
I wouldn't think this is the answer
because chlamydia does not live generally
for long periods of time on the skin itself.
And then genital warts.
So I'm gonna guess that it's this one.
And I've never really seen anything
that lined out that HPV type six and 11,
which are the main causes of genital warts,
is more likely to be transmitted if you are
shaving your pubic hair.
But that's just the only answer that makes sense here.
So let's go with genital warts.
We got it right. (bell dings)
I'm not sure the validity of that statement.
I think I've seen some literature that says
there's an association between
people who shave their pubic hair
and having an HPV infection,
but that doesn't mean a cause-effect relationship.
Does that make sense?
Next question.
Can you catch an STI if you have oral sex?
The answer to this one is absolutely yes.
Let's see if I get it right. (bell dings)
We are correct.
Oral sex can transmit many STIs.
Gonorrhea and chlamydia,
which both can happen in the throat,
so usually they're asymptomatic if that happens,
but they cause sore throat in that way.
You can transmit herpes through oral sex
obviously 'cause herpes is a mouth and genital disease.
You can even transmit HIV
or other things like syphilis through oral sex.
So I think this is a really common misunderstanding.
People don't know that you can transmit STIs
through oral to genital sex,
and that's really important.
So this is why dental dams are important.
Yes, you can use a condom.
And those are really great to help decrease the risk
of transmitting an STI.
If you're having unprotected oral sex
with somebody that you don't know their status,
that's not a great idea.
Please protect yourself from oral STI.
I promise you don't want any part of that.
Okay, next question.
Put these in order of development:
embryo, fetus, zygote.
Currently in the order that is listed on the question,
it is reverse.
Zygote is a very tiny,
when you go from like a two cell to eight cell organism,
that's usually in the process
of moving through the fallopian tube.
And then it implants, becomes an embryo,
and then eventually after about week nine or so,
we consider it a fetus.
So I'm gonna go with zygote, embryo, fetus.
(bell dings)
Correct!
We got it right.
Excellent, okay.
Which part of the female anatomy is this?
For one, this drawing is a little bit hard to decipher
because I believe this is pointing at
labia minora and majora.
It's kinda like, the line there,
it's hard to tell what it's pointing at,
but I think maybe it's pointing at labia minora.
Up top is the clitoral hood,
which is honestly not very well drawn.
And then the urethra just below that,
and then the vaginal introitus,
which is the opening to the vagina.
The outside here is labia minora,
and then the skin covered section is labia majora.
So we're going to go with labia minora for this one.
(bell dings)
We got it right!
We're on a roll.
They're gonna give me permission to have sex,
which is excellent since I have four children.
What is the maximum time that sperm can survive
inside a female reproductive system?
Okay, you all should know this
if you've watched me for any period of time
because we have talked about this many times before.
Sperm are like cockroaches.
They do not die.
They can live inside the uterus, cervix, vagina,
fallopian tubes for seven days.
And this is super important because people seem to think
that they're only able to get pregnant
if they have sex while they're ovulating,
and that's not entirely true.
Sperm can live up to a week in some cases
inside the reproductive tract.
So if it's there, and you ovulate,
you can still get pregnant.
So we're gonna go with seven days.
Yes. (bell dings)
On a roll.
How many, I didn't even, I don't--
Oh, there's 12 questions, okay.
What is stealthing?
Okay, I'm gonna be really honest.
I had no idea what this was
until I saw it on TikTok recently,
but now I do know what it is.
And for the record, it is assault.
So this is the process of taking a condom off mid sex
and not getting consent from your partner
to have unprotected intercourse.
So this is sexual assault.
If you are using a condom,
and you don't ask your partner
permission to have sex without a condom,
that's not okay.
But that's what stealthing is.
(bell dings)
What type of contraception is put inside the uterus?
Contraceptive ring,
no, that goes inside the vagina.
IUD, intra uterine device.
Obviously this is the answer.
Implant.
I mean, technically an IUD is kind of an implant.
But they're talking about the arm implant,
so we're gonna go with IUD.
(bell dings)
Awesome.
True or false: having chlamydia
can make you become infertile.
Hmm, so.
I'm going to answer true
because I think I know what they're getting at,
but this is not technically all the way true.
(bell dings)
Okay, yep.
So that was the answer.
Chlamydia, most commonly causes something called cervicitis,
which is an infection at the cervix here.
And cervicitis in about 20% of cases if left untreated,
can move up through the uterus and into the fallopian tubes.
This is called pelvic inflammatory disease.
Pelvic inflammatory disease
definitely increases the risk of infertility
because it concentrates in the tube and causes scarring,
which makes it harder for an ovulation that happens here,
which is eventually fertilized,
to make its way back to the uterus and implant.
So chlamydia itself
is not a huge risk factor for infertility,
assuming that it is treated
prior to becoming a bigger infection in the pelvis.
And that's the problem
is that a lot of people don't get screened,
and they're not treated until they have symptoms,
and a lot of time chlamydia won't have symptoms
until it's become a worse infection.
Get screened if you're having sex,
and you don't know the status
of the partner that you had sex with.
Get screened.
Get screened even if you think you know it.
Just get yourself checked out
and prevent any of these long term complications.
It's also associated with an increased risk
of having pelvic pain down the line as well.
So it's not just infertility.
If you don't care about having a baby someday,
that's totally fine.
You still should protect your reproductive health,
and reduce your risk of getting chronic pelvic pain.
So PID, pelvic inflammatory disease, attacks the tubes
and does increase the risk of infertility.
And that's a compounding risk.
So the more times somebody has PID,
the more at risk they are
of eventually having an infertility issue.
What percentage of women usually experience orgasms
during intercourse?
Ah, this is a difficult one.
Now it's a little hard because there's some,
what are we considering intercourse, right?
So if this is like vaginal intercourse
or are we including foreplay in that discussion?
I'm not sure.
But it is a well known fact that a lot of people
who have a clitoris are not going to get an orgasm
from just penis and vagina intercourse.
That's typically not the most efficient
or friendly way to help somebody orgasm
in this scenario.
So I'm gonna go with 40%,
although I don't actually know what the percentage is.
I just know it's low.
It's either it's either 40 or 60.
And again, I'm not sure where they're getting these numbers.
And I would guess that the studies
probably vary pretty widely in what they report
depending on how they were done and where they were done.
But we we're gonna guess 40.
(buzzer buzzes)
Ah, it's 60.
Well, what you should know is that
a lot of people do not get orgasm
from penis and vagina intercourse,
and you should please your partner in other ways.
And if you are the partner we are discussing,
then you should be aware that this is the case,
and reach out to them for ways to improve their pleasure
because this is a mutual experience, correct?
Correct.
That should be on this quiz.
Scientifically, what is the male g spot called?
The anal canal.
I don't think it's that.
The prostate.
Yes, I think it's that one.
The gooch (laughs).
Can you imagine if I said actually,
the scientific term for the male g spot is the gooch.
No, it's not the gooch.
The rectum, also not correct,
so we're gonna go with the prostate.
(bell dings)
And we are correct!
Yay, round of applause.
If HIV is undetectable, is it untransmittable?
So the answer to this one is definitely yes,
but let me explain what they're asking.
So when you have HIV,
you can be treated with medications
that are antiretrovirals.
When you are on those medications,
you can get a test called a viral load.
And this measures how much virus is present
and active in the system.
If that is undetectable,
then transmitting HIV is virtually impossible.
So we use this clinically for partners who are discordant.
And when I say discordant
I mean one has an HIV known infection
and the other is HIV negative.
And that's an important number
so that you can kind of weigh the risk
and talk to them about
if they need to be on a preventative medicine
as a partner of somebody who is HIV positive.
For pregnancy we use this
for people who have had an HIV infection in the past
that they are treating,
and we are trying to decide the safety of
and manner of delivery.
So an undetectable viral load makes it safe
to proceed with a normal vaginal delivery.
Higher viral loads might make us want to go ahead
and recommend a C-section
due to a lower risk of transmission to the neonate.
So we're gonna, yes.
(bell dings)
I kinda mixed my words there.
We're gonna go with yes.
In England, Scotland, and Wales,
what is the latest time into pregnancy
that you can have an abortion?
Ooh.
I honestly don't have any knowledge
of abortion laws in England, Scotland or Wales.
But because I know that most of those places
tend to be far more lax than the United States,
and because this is a common cutoff,
I'm going to make a guess of 23 weeks.
(bell dings)
We got it!
Good guessing skills.
(intense music)
Calculating results.
11 out of 12.
You can have little sex as a treat (laughs).
Okay, great.
Okay, so you didn't get 100%,
but you were pretty close.
You're allowed some sex.
Maybe brush up on your facts first, just in case.
Honestly, I'm offended.
I believe I have provided a lot of very useful facts
in this discussion,
and I will not accept this.
Okay, that was really interesting.
I hope that you learned something today.
