How did you learn about sex?

When I was 11/12 years old there were these girls magazines that had sex questions and answers in them, I remember reading those.

Then when I went to high school we had sex ed, and a a biology book with very graphic pictures about topics like the reproductive sysem, puberty, and sex.

Also, obviously the internet. The older I got, the more information I sought on the internet.

I also talked about sex with my friends a lot. Actually, we still do.

And last but not least, my parents. They gave me "the talk" when I was around 15, because they found out I was looking stuff up and walked in on me while I was masturbating. Yeah...

 

I may have recounted this before but it's worth relating again:

When I was eleven, we had this dog where I lived in Mexico, a young male Doberman, dumb as a post. This guy shows up at our front door and asks if the dog would be a stud for his female Doberman who would soon be in heat. For some reason my parents agreed and a few days later the female dog (aka the "bitch") was left with us for a few days.

Our dumb dog acted quite rudely to her at first, growling when she approached his food, that kind of thing. After a few days of seeing that nothing happened between them, my mother decided that he needed a helping hand...so, after being told what to do, I and my sister took on the duty of physically getting them *ahem* together (I wish we had a video!).

It is harder (so to speak), dear readers, than you might imagine, with a lot of looking down, aiming, and then getting behind him to push. The bitch waited patiently while Dum-dum just flailed about, mounted behind her, with his tongue hanging out and his member hitting everything but the target.

After about half an hour of failed attempts, Bowser the Idiot finally figured it out. I didn't see any change in his expression, but after trying it out for the first time, he did it rather continuously thereafter...the dog!

So after this first attempt, and finally getting it done, we came back in, my sister and I and we both exclaimed to our mother how difficult this was and then I said: "what if we did that!"...the look on her face was priceless, a slight nod and a simple: "we do" was all it took. To this day I wonder if my mother didn't plan this as a way of teaching us about the birds and the bees.

Many years later, my sister and I both told our mother how amazing it was that we actually learned about this from her and nowhere else!

 

A mixture of tv, overheard conversations, and porn.

 

According to science and common sense as a gay man I learned about sex from repeatedly being butt raped in my sleep by gay sex demons, obviously this is fact because if it wasn't so many people wouldn't believe it.

No my parents told me.

 

I learnt when I was 8 years old, some girl on the playground in elementary school told me.

 

School, school friends... And the internet...

 

Honestly from friends and some fantasy novel

 

I can't remember when I learnt of it's existence. But I learnt the details from porn. Sexual education was crap.

 

Porn. I often wonder how much that messed me up. It was kind of funny, actually. All of the sudden I was like ohhh, so that's how it works. I was fairly young, don't remember exactly how young though.

That is honestly... kind of awesome.

 

I don't know. At the time I was young, maybe bout 11 or 12. I read an anthology or I had someone told me. I can't quite recollect it.

 

In this order :
Girls
Mom
Friends
School a bit
Much practice
Matriculating student in the subject at this juncture

 

Straight sex=school (friends and classes)
Gay sex= fanfiction

 

The television thought me about sex , but I got confused and thought once you had sex you died right after
It's just heterosexual sex.I learned about , I didn't learn about lesbian sex till age 20.

 

From other kids mainly when I was a kid. I didn't really understand it back then, except I knew it was some kind of taboo subject. When I was 12 I had this friend at school and she invited me over and we watched some erotic movies her parents had lol. I think that was before we had sex ed class at school. Then there were magazines that had a sex talk section in them. I didn't know anything about lesbian sex until much later when the subject began to interest me. And I learned about it from the internet.

 

I had a very basic idea of what sex was by around kindergarten (I knew it was something 2 naked people did), my mom gave me a slightly better explanation when I was in 3rd grade, but it was all very basic and I learned most of it from friends and the internet around ages 10-12

 

Learnt from porn books n my own experiment

 

I dunno, I guess I'm still learning :lol:

 

I learned most of what I know about sex from sex ed when I was 13. Even for living in such a liberal state, especially in terms of education, the only time same-sex relationships were brought up was with HIV and other STDs. Figures. Anything involving actual same-sex sex ed that I learned was on the Internet back when I was questioning.

 

Sex Ed in school. Little 10 year old me sitting at the back of the class listening to my teacher describe this thing as my face became more and more horrified. I thought sex was this terrifying thing. But when I was 14 I discovered fanfiction and throughout my teens I discovered that sex doesn't have to involve a man part so it's not nearly as horrifying to me now. So yeah, I learnt most of what I know through the internet. And yeah I know fanfiction can be extremely unrealistic.

 

I first *heard* about sex from my parents...and then quite a lot from a sex-ed class run by a local church (if you can believe that...it was actually a pretty decent class).

But all that was really just enough to get me interested and get me started. What I've really *learned* about sex, I've learned by doing. Like with Mr. Whale's dog, I think that's really the only way...I mean, I'm a big fan o' book larnin' and all that...but some things really do have to be experienced to understand.
