I remember being in 5th grade and watching my first "informative" video about puberty. They demonstrated via cartoons what happened when a girl got her period and also what happened when a boy orgasmed [for some reason...I'm guessing they went on to talk about how babies were made but I had probably shut down with embarrassment by then].
Anyway, I had just gotten my period and hated it, so when the narrator was talking about how stuff "ejaculated" from the boys penis, I clearly remember thinking "HA! At least they have to go through something, too!"... as in something unenjoyable and that they didn't enjoy.
They belief continued till I was in 8th grade and foolishly clicked a porn link that was in my inbox. That's when I discovered that they enjoyed it A LOT and "jerking off" a guy was not the cruel practice I had imagined.
Oh, how very young and mistaken I was.
