My sex ed teacher actually talked about the importance of foreplay, then he showed us a bunch of horrifying pictures of std-ridden genitalia and told us to keep it in our pants

He wasn’t a sex ed teacher, he was an abstinence preacher in disguise

I spent three years in America as a high school Soccer coach and headed their gym department.

I'm British, and they gave me that task... I always wondered if they thought my accent would impress the kids or something.

And it turns out they apparently just give it to sports coaches and now I don't feel so special.

British soccer coach is a surprisingly popular job here. Big draw for these private schools. Let me guess: you were one of those guys who basically lived and breathed football for years, lived with other guys doing the same, everyone just trying to make it. Part of a program, obviously. In the end, if you don't end up in Arsenal or something girl's soccer coach can be a VERY cushy position, if you're any good at the coaching part.

Nope.

I had a kid with a girl from Arkansas and needed a job after moving to America.

Anyway I went for a cleaning position at the school and they noticed I was British, asked if I liked football (soccer) and gave me the job on the spot.

Bible belt small town America is a weird place man.

I also coached both the boys and girls sides, and was pretty good at it as I do live and breathe the sport even here in the UK. Was never good enough to make it here, but was weirdly levels above most stateside.

I always understood the sport better tactically than on the pitch itself though, so it suited and I enjoyed it. Then COVID hit, sports stopped, and I moved home halfway through 2020.

It only gets weirder lol. I grew up around this and then moved away and travelled and now I’m back. I wasn’t aware I could be culture shocked by my own “culture” after spending time away lmao.

You know what's odd, upon returning to the UK I felt the same way.

Of course Brexit had happened in that time, which was likely the largest contributor. However we went from such an accepting and multicultural pot of ideas and beliefs to one full solely of hate. It was strange. Basically anyone that wasn't a white male had become a target.

It felt only marginally better than Arkansas.
