Getting the sex talk...

    I got mine at age 10 & it was one of the most uncomfortable exchanges I've ever had. My dad took me with him to go pick up my mom from work, & he asked her some vague questions, so apparently they had planned this, & then my dad started giving me "the talk" once we got back in the car. It was really weird, & was mostly just me interrupting him because I already knew what he was telling me. Actually, he didn't educate me about sex at all. He just told me to wait. As if a ten-year-old that only cares about music & dogs is just dying to become sexually active.

    I would watch TV later at night and be introduced to more adult content at a younger age. I ended up coming to my parents in the 4th and 5th grade to ask them about sex... By 6th grade, I pretty much knew most of it. So I never really had any "talk", it was mostly just many questions I asked them over time.

    My mom's talk consisted of demanding there be no sex until marriage and that was it. That worked out well. (psst.... it did NOT work out well)

    I didn't care. I knew plenty long before that so I didn't need one.

    Well I learned a lot from watching Family Guy

    Joking. I was taught basic sex ed from mom and dad after a sex ed class in 5th grade. (So I was 10) after that you get to learn all the fun stuff like STDs and how youll get pregnant and periods thatll make you hate your life... and how for the purpose of learning about sex from a strictly reproductive point of view, gay people don't exist.

    Isn't it fun? :slight_smile:

    In my opinion sex talks should start at 5 or 6. Then each year a little more info. I have a friend in college (guy) who had such a close relationship with his parents, he could ask them anything. It blew the rest of us away.

    I never got a talk, I learned about sex on my own through Porn and Wikipedia.

    I never had it and never needed it. I have always been one to do a lot of research myself. And I prefer it that way. I would have hated my mother to try and give me any kind of talk on that subject. And my sperm donor walked out on us when I was 8 so he was never around anyway. Also...I never really needed to help of "the talk" as I did perfectly fine discovering things myself :icon_wink. And not to mention where is the fun in experimenting if you already know what to expect, to a certain degree at least. (*hug*)

    I got nothing. An awkward acceptance that sex exists from a catholic primary school when I was 11, a few lessons about how sex works when I was 12 and a page in a textbook about forms of protection.

    Thank God for Catholic education.
