Advice our parents gave us

My mother gave me no advice on men or sex growing up. In fact, her idea of telling me about getting my period was to leave a medical encyclopedia and a box of Stayfree on my bed when I was at school. And the fucking Stayfree were from freaking 1959 and the ones you needed a belt with, because she was so cheap and got them on deep discount or something.

But, she did offer me this one sage piece of wisdom, in her typical Cockney way:

"When it comes to men, they aren't looking at the mantelpiece when they're poking the fire."

I took this to mean, you can look like a hag and the man will still fuck you.

I'm not sure if I was meant to see this as a sign of hope or something...
