Did your parents give you 'The Talk'?

<p>Nope. I ask them questions.</p>

<p>^ HAHA, that makes me think of this girl in my class in primary school who asked her mom if she enjoyed sex.</p>

<p>discovered most of the things i know through dirty elementary kids and via internet :P</p>

<p>HAHAHA what a question! I like to believe that I was a “miraculous conception” and my parents never even had to come near each other. I think fanfiction was a major cause of my loss of innocence.</p>

<p>I learned a ridiculous amount of sexual information from my friends and their older brothers back in elementary school and junior high. Back in the 5th grade, a couple of my friends and I watched a porno from the 70s and it was the FUNNIEST THING EVER. It wasn’t arousing at all, it was just really groovy.</p>

<p>^ have to agree about 70s porn! “really groovy” ahaha
my parents never gave me a special “talk” on sex, drugs, booze or smoking. my mom purses up and looks at me disapprovingly (as if i ever did anything) whenever the topic of sex is brought up, and my dad makes racy but lame jokes. Alcohol and drugs aren’t really prevalent where i live, so all i know is that alcohol is okay in moderation and doing drugs is unforgivable… well, that’s what my teacher said back in fifth grade.</p>

<p>Has anybody here ever had to give the talk to anybody, for example, younger siblings? I want my younger cousins to have good sex education but it’s SUCH an awkward topic!</p>

<p>^ I haven’t explained it to anybody else, but I’d be scared to… because it’s such an important subject for young minds and if you expose it to them the wrong way, you could be screwing them up for life! :stuck_out_tongue: lol</p>

<p>no. They lectured me so many times about my being ignorant, arrogant, etc etc, but never about sex. I think they’ve figured out that it’s best to leave me alone. :D</p>

<p>But at school…that’s all the teachers talk about.</p>

<p>mom caught me browsing porn when i was 10…■■■…told me to come outside…we both took a seat, and my mom said to me, “please don’t get a girl pregnant”…and that was our talk…awesome…</p>

<p>^Lol wow. My dad’s like, you’re not old enough to watch porn. </p>

<p>My dad lost his virginity when he was about 14.
In 1970s America.</p>

<p>I have no plans of being with a girl under doctoral school, so I really don’t care.</p>

<p>@BrownPennLover
when you were 10??? why? that’s pretty weird. OK, 13 or 14 I can understand, MAYBE 12… but 10???</p>

<p>@bobtheboy yea…i know…got exposed to it when some of my (now pervert) friends brought porn to school in 5th grade with their phones…so i looked it up on the internet when i was 10…my mom catching me in the act stopped me from becoming a sexually crazed guy i think…porn comes to my mind only once every 3 weeks now hahaha</p>

<p>Nooooooo. My mom freaks out at kissing scenes in movies. “Cover your eyes!”</p>

<p>She would never sign the sex-ed form so I had to ask my friends to fill me in and learn the rest from the internet.</p>

<p>LOL never. I was, like many other people here, a four-year-old kid who loved to read too much. I was never into the “chapter books” everything read about little boys losing their dogs, so gradually I kept moving deeper and deeper until I realized that characters really enjoyed rubbing each other up when things got really emotionally intense.</p>

<p>So I knew about the existence of sex, but I’d always thought until fourth grade sex ed that you could get pregnant just by literally “sleeping with” someone, nothing else involved lol. Because that’s just what everyone else said.</p>

<p>My parents, come to think of it, have just always assumed sex/drugs was something that was too frivolous to mention to any kid who wasn’t completely stupid. Even so, whenever a heavy-breathing kissing scene comes on, my mom gets all embarrassed and begins chattering in a high voice about math competitions, etc. And for sex scenes everyone just automatically has to go to the restroom lol. At my house it’s just kind of an unspoken consent thing haha.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I haven’t given the very basic talk, but my friends always ask ME more “in depth” questions. It’s kinda funny, actually.</p>

<p>I have never had the talk given to me.</p>

<p>

My best mate hadn’t been kissed 6 months ago. My best girlfriend, who grew up in bible-thumping Indiana, had ** no [/no] concept of sexual relations or understanding of her anatomy before she met me at New Year’s. I feel like I’m corrupting the little dears!</p>

<p>Brief Warning before venturing alone at a Florida timeshare: “Bandgeek, I know this is your vacation and I want you to have as much fun as possible, but don’t make any * special * friends while you’re down here, ok?” at age 16.</p>

<p>And of course, a Youtube video of Coach Carr from Mean Girls cautioning against intercourse in Health class.</p>

<p>My mom caught me with like five windows of porn open. On more than one occasion, actually. She shouted for a while, about how disappointed she was in me, blah blah blah, but thankfully she didn’t take it as an opening for the birds and the bees. I figured that out on my own by age 11 thanks to the Harlequin novels she left lying around, haha.</p>
