Speaking as someone who’s Christian fundamentalist parents did not ensure a proper education about this, whose community enforced it, it takes time to figure out, even with the Internet. I was sexually active years before I ever orgasmed, and even after that, the shame for enjoying sex at all was still engrained. I was aware of my anatomy, but with limited, supervised access to the Internet until 18, it set me up to be metaphorically fucked in my ability to communicate about it. But hey, I’m in my 30s and survived.
How anyone has trouble finding it in the age of the internet is beyond me
One of my moments of youthful enlightenment was realizing the joke isn’t about it being hard to find, it’s that some men don’t look at all.
Forget the Internet, just communicate lol
searches the internet ‘how do you communicate’

I didn’t consider that at all.
Glad you’ve managed to work things out in the end.
