I was hatched from an egg, so this is all very new to me. Go on.
Well, we all were...that's the beauty of it. See, when a man loves a woman very much, he gives her a special kind of hug. And that's why men have nipples.
"The placenta has very high levels of some vitamins such as B6. This is the one that helps out with postpartum depression. The mother can reclaim these vitamins and put them to use in her own body by ingesting the placenta. CRH, a corticotrophin-releasing hormone, normally secreted by the hypothalamus, is well-known to be a stress-reducer. During the last trimester of pregnancy, the placenta secretes high levels of CRH, also pouring great quantities into the expectant mother's bloodstream. And guess what? After birth, the mother has much lower than average levels of this hormone, thus triggering depression. Actually, when so much CRH was being produced during the final weeks of pregnancy, the hypothalamus shut down on its production. After the birth, the hypothalamus hasn't yet kicked into gear and begun to compensate for the low levels of CRH. Voila! A reasonable explanation for postpartum depression and an obvious but overlooked solution."
I've also read that it may stop hemorrhaging by consuming it or putting a piece under your tongue.
I did natural childbirth and by the time the placenta came out the last thing I wanted to do was deal with it in any way but now I'm probably paying to put it on my skin. Oh yeah, it's in all kinds of skin care products, hair care products.

My kids have been whining way too much about going outside. I think it's time to kick in the, "if it's daylight get your a$$ outta my house!" they way my Mom did.

My mom pulled that on me, too. Except, I still haven't been asked back into the house.

My personal favorite was my mom locking us out of the house for 8-10 hours every day and then my father refusing to put on the central air while I just sat in a pool of sweat.
Seriously? Did you not have health education, biology or sex education in your high school?
LOL Tennessee.
Phil doesn't count. He must have slept because we had sex ed in middle school and high school. They divided us up by gender in middle school to keep the giggles down.
I am pretty sure that I only learned about the placenta a few years ago... and I'm a girl (in case you didn't know). I must have not been paying attention...
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I went to a private christian school from kindergarten till 8th grade. they def didnt have sex talk. abstinence baby

In 5th grade in my school district they take every girl in the entire grade and give them "the period talk."
Then in 8th grade they taught our co-ed health class a week-long sex ed.
They had a model placenta, our teacher would call random people he saw walking down the hallway into his room so he could smack them in the face with said model placenta.
Good thing I was a smart ass little mischievous devil growing up and already figured out what sex was at an early age. I wonder how many people are screwed up sexually because of the way it's taught to them.
I never had that class. Sex ed for me was watching a late 70's era Ron Jeremy film with my older brother. I believe it was called Orgy Mania. For some reason Ron was depicted as a shepard, getting it on with multiple chicks in a manger. I was more puzzled as to why he looked like my old hippy uncle Wilson than the alien act.
All and all, very bushy. Still figured out what a placenta was though. ;D

4th grade we were split up from the girls. We watched a movie that explained we'd start smelling and need deoderant, that our voices would change and we'd get growth spurts, and that hair would start growing all over.
8th grade everyone took a health class that had a sex-ed part but I don't remember too much of it. I can't remember actually getting the stereotypical "here's a banana/cucumber and here's how you put a condom on it"
By 9th grade I had the basics down from health class but it wasn't until watching an actual birth in my biology class (a video we had to get parent's approval of first) that my mind was shattered as to what the human body can withstand. It was eye-opening.
Well when they expect you to not have sex until you are married I guess they don't consider that knowledge important at a young age.
Maybe so, but do they really think kids won't try to fill in the blanks?
I think most religious people expect families to teach the stuff to their kids and not as part of a school course. But I'm talking out of my ass with no real evidence so.....
As a life long Texan you couldn't be any further from the truth. The only difference is most religious families would rather their children never learn about it. Probably the worst way to go about it too. My kids better learn this stuff at school, otherwise it'll be up to me to explain it to them and I don't want any part of that confusing lesson.

I feel like I need to step in here. Not ALL religious families are like this. Traditional Irish families are very religious......and they still f*ck like jack rabbits.
