Random Men On The Street Try To Answer 9 Questions About Women’s Bodies, Highlighting How Little They Actually Know
Many years ago, one of the great science fiction writers wrote that humanity is the best negotiator, because men and women have had to negotiate among themselves for thousands of years. Indeed, despite the fact that throughout the history of mankind we have lived together, how aware are the representatives of different genders today about the specific features of each other’s health and bodies?
Most recently, we shared with you a selection of the most incredible discoveries made by women about men, and today it’s time for guys to answer questions about women. Yes, it is to answer questions – in the literal sense of the word, in the style of Jeopardy, with different topics and various complexity of questions.
There is a channel on TikTok called “Roe Vs. Bros”, the authors of which set themselves the goal of finding out whether men have answers to fairly everyday and common questions for women. As of today, there are five videos on the channel that have received more than 15M views in total, so you can quite call them viral.
More info: TikTok

This series of videos has random men answering pretty simple questions regarding female bodies and health

There are several topics and various difficulty levels in this show
The scheme of each episode is quite simple – the presenter approaches random guys on the street and invites them to answer fairly simple questions about the female body and reproductive health. Men answer some questions correctly, but sometimes pretty weird answers are obtained. “Can you pee with a tampon in?” one guy repeats the question asked to him. “I don’t think it’s recommended.”

Among the questions in different episodes are: “Why are there different sizes of tampons?”, “How many tampons do women use for their period?”, “What is a period?”, “How long do women have to wait after giving birth to have sex again?”, “How long can a woman safely leave a tampon in?”, “Does the G-spot move?”, “Can pregnant women go swimming?” or “How much blood do women lose on their period?”

It turns out that most of the men surveyed have a pretty poor knowledge of women, though some of them are married
Often, the answers of men simply show that they do not even think about elementary things for women – and yet knowing such basic things is the key to mutual understanding. Most interesting, perhaps, is that many of the men surveyed are married or in a relationship, so it’s hard to say how the wrong answers can be explained – lack of proper education or simply neglecting their spouses and partners.

However, some people in the comments argue that men absolutely do not need to have encyclopedic knowledge about the female body, and moreover, if you ask women nearly the same questions about men, the percentage of correct answers will probably not be way higher. Anyway, perhaps in its future episodes, the channel “Roe Vs. Bros” will ask women – and it will be no less interesting.

It seems that modern people definitely need more knowledge about other genders as it may help them build mutual understanding
Be that as it may, it is enough to say that both modern men and women often face a lack of knowledge about the other gender’s specifics, and just this lack of education about seemingly obvious things leads to conflicts in life together, and then family drama arises.

As you can see, despite the millennia spent together, men and women still do not know enough about each other, and this is especially true for guys. Fortunately, the modern world provides us with every opportunity to improve our knowledge, and who knows, maybe with them, mutual understanding and mutual respect between the genders will gradually increase?

I mean, with the amount of tampons used and difference of flow, I could see why someone would think a quart of blood is lost each cycle. But this isn't a "men are stupid" article--it's not mens fault that our school systems fail them. It's not anyones fault except the super religious parents or govt officials who demand certain subjects be banned from school. When I was in high school about 100 years ago in a red state, it was "abstinence only" learning.
Mia D 2 years ago (edited)
Ok, they did not learn that in school, so this is it, schools are one and only source of information on the Planet Earth? So all of those men have never dated a woman or have an internet? The problem here is that they are simply don't care what is happening in the women's body, they are simply not curious about it.

I think there is more an issue of that there is an implied tone that they shouldn't know it. If you have been told effectively all your life that you shouldn't speak about it, and possibly even punished for bringing it up, because it's "sinful thinking" then would you really have a curiosity about it or would you feel shame for just thinking about it?

Curious, you blame the school systems for failing to teach this stuff to kids, but why not the parents? What exactly do YOU feel should be taught by parents? I mean it seems like a lot of people rely on schools to completely raise their kids, and that's not what it's there for. My son is 17, and while reading this article, I got the idea that I'm going to quiz him on this kind stuff. There's a lot of sensitive subjects that aren't taught in schools, that's where us parents come in. You can't rely on schools to teach kids EVERYTHING. Life, relationships, s e.x, manners, ethics, self reliance, being a good person, etc.. that all comes from home. I wouldn't mind if schools taught that kind of stuff, but it'd still be no replacement for learning it from home.

I'm a menstruating woman and I'd totally fail this test. I've never measured how much blood I lose in tablespoons, and I use a menstrual cup, so I have no idea how many tampons people use. And I've never had kids, so how would I know when new moms can have sex again?? I'd would just as easily fail a test about the detail's of men's reproduction organs. And I don't think that means that public school has failed me lol.

I find it disturbing that men think women can just have sex soon after birthing a baby, and one guy even acknowledged it would hurt. Well, duh. This must be a wide misbelief because my ex was adamant that I was just holding back sex from him because I was only exhausted and uncomfortable, and tried telling me it's supposed to be painful. I didn't want to have sex and it was excruciating. The first time I had sex was painless for me, so I knew that it wasn't normal. I would say 4 weeks is too soon. That's how long I kept him waiting.

I'm a girl, and going to go with the men with some of these "wrong" answers- *The "G" spot, although it doesn't move per se, during arousal the vagina becomes bigger and longer to prepare itself for penetration, so the cervix and the G spot both appear to move upwards as they become further up. *As for peeing with a tampon in, some women prefer not to do this as the urine can travel via osmosis up the string and saturate the lower part of the tampon. At least I assume how this happens, all I know is if I pee with it in, it often ends up with wee in it, which I don't want in my vagina so I usually change it before. *Regarding the amount of blood lost, every woman is different but the average of 4-6 tablespoons is deceiving, because a large portion of menstrual fluid is not actual blood, so the average amount of menstrual fluid lost per cycle is far greater.
Vladimíra Matejová 2 years ago (edited)
it is hard to believe it is just a few spoons. why dont they say how much material it actually is then ( not saying liquid as not all of it is liquid) my estimate would be around 2 deciliters. i never thought of this statistics mentioning only pure blood and probably that is why it was so always so confusing. and honestly it is stupid. i knew there were other liquids involved but always thought they meant the material in general. it is like saying you only have 3 litres of blood because rest of it is water ( exagerating but that is how I perceived it). thanks for your reply it makes sense
Vladimíra Matejová 2 years ago (edited)
then you have a big spoon? 2deciliters is a glass. so how many spoons is it? a couple is 2-3 to me. ok now when i think about it i probably imagined something between 2 and 3 dl but still how much is "a couple" and how big is that spoon? now you made me wanna go and try pouring spoons of water into glass to find out how many spoons i can fit in a glass
Angela Turrall 2 years ago (edited)
1) this is a really badly laid out article, eesh. 2) it's great to raise awareness, but I think this person missed an opportunity; we don't all fit this cookie cutter description. The flow and quantity would be completely dependant on the person. For postpartum sex, those who had tears after giving birth therefore needing stitches are likely to need longer than women who didn't, and those who had C sections are different maybe too (so the answer is medically different but always only when the woman is medically, physically, and emotionally ready). There's also pads, menstrual cups, period underwear etc etc etc etc They can't cover everything but it's good to at least spend a few seconds explaining all people are different. Especially as (sadly) there's the odd person who will notice their partner is different and confront them on why, not necessarily from a willingness to learn.

Squirrelly Panda 2 years ago
To be fair on "how soon after giving birth can a woman have sex" question, I bet there are alot of women don't know the answer because you don't really need to know until you get pregnant the first time. Also, technically a woman can have sex immediately, but recommended to wait until healed. And, as the one guy said, it would hurt. Better to ask "how long should a woman abstain from sex after giving birth"
Kitty Jordan 2 years ago
Did they tell these guys the right answer after? I feel like these are useless unless they actually educate them on the right answer. Like the guys saying, "Oh, you can have sex immediately after birth!" Well, you can, but it's not medically recommended because it increases the odds of uterine infection and postpartum hemorrhage, and I think that's something they should know.
Jill Rhodry 2 years ago
Ok, so not four litres - but how do they get that average, I don't know many women who lose only 2-5 tablespoons, is that for those women who only have their period for 1 - 3 days?
Hey! 2 years ago
I'm a woman and I'm sure most women wouldn't know the answers to this. The best example would be sex after birth. Why would you know that unless your doctor told you before you leave the hospital? Oops, sorry, we did it in the hospital, and I'm pregnant again. It happens and before that was even a standard women had sex right after birth, thus the short months between children. And it still happens today. As for the amount, no way was I losing only 2-3 Tbsp. I showed my doctor one time, by bringing everything I had changed that day. Is it really important for us to know those answers? I don't think so.
StrangeOne 2 years ago
After you have a baby, you know. There's tearing, you have stitches, you've birthed a baby in an unnatural, more painful, dangerous way of laying down. You're body is still healing. There's internal trauma. Your pelvic bones are loose. Let alone the emotional, mental, hormonal fluctuations and trying to come to terms with your unflattering new body. The first year after birth is said to be the hardest on couples. This may be due to the mother requiring other affectionate needs, help with the baby and the allowance of sleep, while the father still has his normal sex drive and wants his needs met and is still trying to come to terms that he's got a new baby to take care of while having to go to work. And that's just going by traditional standards.

I think not knowing how much blood is lost during a period (and it's not really *blood* in the same way as blood flowing through your veins and arteries--it's blood-rich uterine tissue, mucous, and uterine flora, similar to gut flora) is legit, because I don't think most people with uteruses even know that... but 4 liters!? That's almost as much blood as there is in the whole body. I think the general population needs to be better educated, not just dudes. There are even women out there who think ridiculous things about the female reproductive system. Because American schools don't teach it. Sigh.

I must be an odd ball, I will talk about anything, My nickname is "Inquiziter" If she/they wanted to talk about it, I would listen, maybe ask questions. but if they wanted their privacy, am also ok with that too. It is Life. Usually it would be a short conversation -their choice. and it is not funny I guess on the same lever as (OMG my balls fell off LOL) The main thing I think, is to be "comfortable with what you need or wish to talk about. If you as a female wish to keep it to yourself? thats fine, but please don't expect us dumb men to know your facts of life. Incase you think that is wrong - usually it only takes one (maybe two) conversation for us dumb men to understand things. and will respect and understand your mood changes, smells (yes some times you do) etc. During my school days we were actually educated (basic info) on the subject. Like She might be a grumpy sod, need space or a hug, it is their choice. it is just a "mess'er" time than men ejaculating during the nite. oops ran my word limit.

For me, it's definitely not 2-5 tablespoons of blood and tissue. I have to use a night pad during the day and change it every 2-3 hours because it gets soaked through. All this for 3-4 days, then I need the one smaller pad size for 2-3 days. When I was a teenager, it lasted 9-10 days and I was bleeding heavily the whole time. The doctors never found any abnormalities (true, they didn't look very hard because no one cares if you live in hell for 1 week every month) I tried tampons a few times, but even the largest size lasted 1-2 hours at most, then had to be changed. If I weren't so disgusted by a pad full of blood and mucus, I would weigh it: it weighs a considerable amount when rolled up and thrown in the bin...
Nicole Holt 2 years ago
Two to five tablespoons of blood is not accurate for everyone. On my worst 2 days of each cycle I have to empty the menstrual cup every 1-2 hours over a period of about 48 hours. The cup holds probably about a table spoon, if not more, if fully full. And then there's 5-8 more days of period for me. It varies every month, but it's always very heavy.

Some of these questions have non-specific answers. Some women have very light periods and some women have very heavy periods. Some women are able and wanting to have sex within 2 weeks of giving birth, others who may have had significant tearing may not feel comfortable for 8-10 weeks afterwards.

Just fyi, women can have sex after they have a baby WHEN THEY'RE READY. The whole area can be pretty sore. If you have a caesarean it's sore in different ways. Plus exhaustion from having a baby!! So she may not want sex for a good 10 months, or maybe just 10 days! It varies.
bananapants1984 2 years ago
Uh, absolutely not. There are so many risks with having sex too soon after giving birth. Ten days is asinine. The recommended time is six weeks for a reason. Your body needs time to heal.

Good for you, A man or woman that has no respect or compassion for you does not belong in your life. If you left the door open then you are partly to blame, Never ever forget you have the right to your body AND mind. If you want to kill yourself you can, but best friends (or partner) are always there for you, Ok they may have the sense not to mention Not to start a conversation about some things that they think will hurt you, So give them a good hint or talk openly about "your" "troubles or issues, Most men are kind and loving plus wanting to help YOU. If you make it difficult, they will shy away from conflict and your issues/ You cannot even train a dog without words or action. But you do need to show a dog what you want or to do. Neither are mind readers. No, I am not saying you are dogs--- far from that. but you can be as stupid as men, Oh wait I mean all "Humans" can be thick . :)
Kitty Jordan 2 years ago (edited)
Not... really? It's medically recommended to wait 4-6 weeks because the cervix dilates during labor, and remains more open (though not as much as during birthing, but more than normal), which means that it's easier to get infections during that time. While you *can* have sex quicker after birth, it's not *medically recommended* because it *is* riskier. Having sex too soon also increases the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. That said, I completely agree that some women will want more time to recover, and that's totally okay!

The flow and quantity would be completely dependant on the person. For postpartum sex, those who had tears after giving birth therefore needing stitches are likely to need longer than women who didn't, and those who had C sections are different maybe too (so the answer is medically different but always only when the woman is medically, physically, and emotionally ready). There's also pads, menstrual cups, period underwear etc etc etc etc They can't cover everything but it's good to at least spend a few seconds explaining all people are different. Especially as (sadly) there's the odd person who will notice their partner is different and confront them on why, not necessarily from a willingness to learn.

Even the big brains at NASA don't have a clue. They asked Sally Ride if she thought 100 tampons would be sufficient for her planned 5 days of space travel (and also asked her to advise on a a cosmetic make-up kit for space)

I think this kind of shows that these topics are still very taboo to talk about in general and that's why both men and women have a lot of misconceptions.

To the guy who said....."it ( meaning sex) must hurt cause a baby just come out of that b***h", F**k Off you vile jerk! Some men have NO idea of the trauma a woman's body goes through during child birth.

To be fair on "how soon after giving birth can a woman have sex" question, I bet there are alot of women don't know the answer because you don't really need to know until you get pregnant the first time. Also, technically a woman can have sex immediately, but recommended to wait until healed. And, as the one guy said, it would hurt. Better to ask "how long should a woman abstain from sex after giving birth"
Kitty Jordan 2 years ago
Did they tell these guys the right answer after? I feel like these are useless unless they actually educate them on the right answer. Like the guys saying, "Oh, you can have sex immediately after birth!" Well, you can, but it's not medically recommended because it increases the odds of uterine infection and postpartum hemorrhage, and I think that's something they should know.

Ok, so not four litres - but how do they get that average, I don't know many women who lose only 2-5 tablespoons, is that for those women who only have their period for 1 - 3 days?
Hey! 2 years ago
I'm a woman and I'm sure most women wouldn't know the answers to this. The best example would be sex after birth. Why would you know that unless your doctor told you before you leave the hospital? Oops, sorry, we did it in the hospital, and I'm pregnant again. It happens and before that was even a standard women had sex right after birth, thus the short months between children. And it still happens today. As for the amount, no way was I losing only 2-3 Tbsp. I showed my doctor one time, by bringing everything I had changed that day. Is it really important for us to know those answers? I don't think so.

After you have a baby, you know. There's tearing, you have stitches, you've birthed a baby in an unnatural, more painful, dangerous way of laying down. You're body is still healing. There's internal trauma. Your pelvic bones are loose. Let alone the emotional, mental, hormonal fluctuations and trying to come to terms with your unflattering new body. The first year after birth is said to be the hardest on couples. This may be due to the mother requiring other affectionate needs, help with the baby and the allowance of sleep, while the father still has his normal sex drive and wants his needs met and is still trying to come to terms that he's got a new baby to take care of while having to go to work. And that's just going by traditional standards.

Agreed, Just because it is up does not mean I want, it is a pain that certainly in our younger days, it can be as bad as someone twisting your arm behind your back. I could never wear hipsters as a teenager, and no bragging. it was life. Choice was to wear a coat or a long jumper.

I think not knowing how much blood is lost during a period (and it's not really *blood* in the same way as blood flowing through your veins and arteries--it's blood-rich uterine tissue, mucous, and uterine flora, similar to gut flora) is legit, because I don't think most people with uteruses even know that... but 4 liters!? That's almost as much blood as there is in the whole body. I think the general population needs to be better educated, not just dudes. There are even women out there who think ridiculous things about the female reproductive system. Because American schools don't teach it. Sigh.

I must be an odd ball, I will talk about anything, My nickname is "Inquiziter" If she/they wanted to talk about it, I would listen, maybe ask questions. but if they wanted their privacy, am also ok with that too. It is Life. Usually it would be a short conversation -their choice. and it is not funny I guess on the same lever as (OMG my balls fell off LOL) The main thing I think, is to be "comfortable with what you need or wish to talk about. If you as a female wish to keep it to yourself? thats fine, but please don't expect us dumb men to know your facts of life. Incase you think that is wrong - usually it only takes one (maybe two) conversation for us dumb men to understand things. and will respect and understand your mood changes, smells (yes some times you do) etc. During my school days we were actually educated (basic info) on the subject. Like She might be a grumpy sod, need space or a hug, it is their choice. it is just a "mess'er" time than men ejaculating during the nite. oops ran my word limit.

For me, it's definitely not 2-5 tablespoons of blood and tissue. I have to use a night pad during the day and change it every 2-3 hours because it gets soaked through. All this for 3-4 days, then I need the one smaller pad size for 2-3 days. When I was a teenager, it lasted 9-10 days and I was bleeding heavily the whole time. The doctors never found any abnormalities (true, they didn't look very hard because no one cares if you live in hell for 1 week every month) I tried tampons a few times, but even the largest size lasted 1-2 hours at most, then had to be changed. If I weren't so disgusted by a pad full of blood and mucus, I would weigh it: it weighs a considerable amount when rolled up and thrown in the bin...

Two to five tablespoons of blood is not accurate for everyone. On my worst 2 days of each cycle I have to empty the menstrual cup every 1-2 hours over a period of about 48 hours. The cup holds probably about a table spoon, if not more, if fully full. And then there's 5-8 more days of period for me. It varies every month, but it's always very heavy.

When I was in my 20s, like these guys apparently are, my girlfriends never talked about most of this stuff, so why would I know? After being married for a few years, my wife is very open about these things now, but early on, she never would have dreamed about it.

Agreed , if they don't talk. Explain or educate us, don't put "ALL" the blame on us men.

Some of these questions have non-specific answers. Some women have very light periods and some women have very heavy periods. Some women are able and wanting to have sex within 2 weeks of giving birth, others who may have had significant tearing may not feel comfortable for 8-10 weeks afterwards.

Yeah so i feel like a mom who has gone through so much pain should have sex only when she is comfortable to start it or when she is healed down there,there should not be a specific time given to a mama,women bodies are different people.
SheamusFanFrom1987 2 years ago
This was... insightful, to say the least. Honestly, I'd probably give the same answer if asked what a period was because it was literally stated as such in my textbook. As for the other answers, well, you learn something new every day.
Jo Gabriel 2 years ago
Just fyi, women can have sex after they have a baby WHEN THEY'RE READY. The whole area can be pretty sore. If you have a caesarean it's sore in different ways. Plus exhaustion from having a baby!! So she may not want sex for a good 10 months, or maybe just 10 days! It varies.
bananapants1984 2 years ago
Uh, absolutely not. There are so many risks with having sex too soon after giving birth. Ten days is asinine. The recommended time is six weeks for a reason. Your body needs time to heal.

My ex husband gave me a whole 9 days to recover from my first baby - after 7 days he started moaning about hard going without was for him and how I didn't understand what a difficult time he was having - it was awful. I'd just had a 10lb10 baby but he was the one having a hard time *eyeroll* - he's definitely an ex for a damn good reason
StrangeOne 2 years ago
My ex was quite similar. Except I made him wait a month and that was too soon for me. What is wrong with these men who think like that? Who raised them?
Got Myself 4 Pandas 2 years ago
Honestly, I'm just glad that for whatever reason I didn't have much feeling "down there" after giving birth the first time. If I had needed stitches I'm sure it would've been a whole other story but by some miracle I've never needed stitches after any of my kids
Noel Bovae 2 years ago
Good for you for making him an ex! My kids are teenagers now, but I dealt with the same thing after they were born. Not to mention getting extremely sick with IBS-D after my youngest, and was basically stuck on the toilet for years. Can't count how many times I laid there crying, praying for it to be over quickly so that I wouldn't cr@p myself. Terrible terrible terrible!

Good for you, A man or woman that has no respect or compassion for you does not belong in your life. If you left the door open then you are partly to blame, Never ever forget you have the right to your body AND mind. If you want to kill yourself you can, but best friends (or partner) are always there for you, Ok they may have the sense not to mention Not to start a conversation about some things that they think will hurt you, So give them a good hint or talk openly about "your" "troubles or issues, Most men are kind and loving plus wanting to help YOU. If you make it difficult, they will shy away from conflict and your issues/ You cannot even train a dog without words or action. But you do need to show a dog what you want or to do. Neither are mind readers. No, I am not saying you are dogs--- far from that. but you can be as stupid as men, Oh wait I mean all "Humans" can be thick . :)
Kitty Jordan 2 years ago (edited)
Not... really? It's medically recommended to wait 4-6 weeks because the cervix dilates during labor, and remains more open (though not as much as during birthing, but more than normal), which means that it's easier to get infections during that time. While you *can* have sex quicker after birth, it's not *medically recommended* because it *is* riskier. Having sex too soon also increases the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. That said, I completely agree that some women will want more time to recover, and that's totally okay!

Oh nooooo! We don't know about women's body! Now flip it. What is the reason of morning wood? What's the function of the prostate? Can you pee with an erection? Can men produce milk? Can you revert a vasectomy?

Hormone shifts. Produce fluid that transports sperm. No. No. Yes.
Load More Replies... martin734 2 years ago
Actually Himiko, men can produce milk under some circumstances as they have milk ducts same as women. Certain medical conditions or medications can lead to sufficient prolactin levels in men that they are able to lactate and you can also pee with an erection it is just rather uncomfortable to do so.
