A redditor encouraged women to ask cis men the sorts of questions they're usually too embarrassed to ask, and the resulting thread is surprisingly wholesome, even despite the fact that 80% of the questions are about genitalia. Penis jokes aside, the thread largely reveals that straight men and women share a lot of the same insecurities—they just often manifest in different ways due to things like gender stereotypes engrained in us by 'society.' As it turns out, if two people are really into each other but neither is making the first move, they're likely experiencing similar anxious thought loops. They're not into me. If they were into me they'd make a move. I'm not attractive. I'm not good enough. I suck. Wouldn't it be nice if we could be honest with each other all the time without the fear of rejection?
If this thread is an accurate representation of most men, then it's safe to say that men want more hugs, they really want you to make the first move, and random boners are a real thing. Check out some highlights we've collected from the amusing and insightful thread.

The ability to detect obvious distinctions between honest ignorance and trolling on the internet is becoming pretty damn challenging. That said, we can't always give genuine dumbasses the benefit of the doubt. Sure, a quick Google search will confirm that pee is not, in fact, stored in the balls. But for every searchable fact, there are 100 egregious lies, and chances are someone out there is willfully falling for them.
We've got a baffling collection of times people betrayed their dumb ideas about human anatomy by asking insane questions or making absurd claims. For the sake of our species, we really hope that some of these lunatics are just trolling.
As reproductive rights are being stripped from women in Alabama and Missouri, many women are coming out to discuss their experiences with abortion and reproductive health. After reading this Twitter thread from @brownandbella, we are starting to think that we need to talk not only about the right to choose, but about the state of sexual education in the United States. These astounding shows of ignorance are definitely proof that something needs to change. We might be chuckling at some of these tweets, but reality of it all is pretty frickin' dark.
The idea that 'pee is stored in the balls' is a pretty established internet joke, but imagine if someone actually believed that this was true. Well, there are way too many people online who either ask for advice that betrays their general lack of anatomical knowledge, or worse, they spout obviously wrong information all over the internet. In this gallery, we've got a bunch of prime examples of stupid people who don't know how the body works and the embarrassing dumbassery they post.
Ah, to be blessed with a penis. While male privilege is definitely a thing, being a man (physically) does have its downsides. One curious Reddit user decided to ask men to share the worst part of wielding a phallus - and the results are full of laughs, cringes, and even some seriously wholesome content.
