Mindygirl 0 #1 January 17, 2003 When did your parents explain sex, or did they ever? I had a conversation last night and this subject came up. I remember watching my mother apply her makeup in the bathroom mirror as I sat on the floor. Out of the blue she started explaining things to me. I couldn't have been much older than 8 or 9 at the time and while I knew that Katie from school was incorrect that babies hatched out in cabbage patches, I still was clueless to the exact process. I look back on this and I think its cool how she told me and when she told me, before I had formed certain opinions on it. Several weeks ago I had a talk with my 6 year old nephew. He asked me what a pimp is. I told him to ask his dad, and I haven't heard anything about it since then.... "I'm desperately trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets."

Jessica 0 #3 January 17, 2003 My parents didn't tell me anything. I suspected you could get pregnant by standing too close to the microwave. I didn't figure out the mechanics of sex until I was almost twelve and swiped a copy of "Girls and Sex" from my older sister's bedroom.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,445 #4 January 17, 2003 My mother bought a book and read it to me, chapter by chapter, over a period of 6 weeks. Of course, I'd found the book by the end of the second week. I was about 9. We also used to have "To be a Woman" videos at school, and they'd hand out free samples of Modess at the end. Since I was only in 4th grade, I was mortified. My father told my brothers in about 10 minutes. Rumor has it my little brother came out of the bedroom, went to my mother, and said "I'm never getting married! I tried to start talking about it to my son when he was 8; he told me he already knew everything. How? He taught himself . It was hard to keep a straight face. Wendy W.

Casch 0 #5 January 17, 2003 It seems like I've always known. I remember being bored in sex ed in 4th grade because I already knew what they were "teaching us" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #6 January 17, 2003 Trouble is, most of the people in schools who try to teach you about sex know nothing apart from how to jack off. (see south park ). In our school we actually corrected our "teacher" on a few points ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #7 January 17, 2003 I can't remember specifically. I learned to read when I was 4 and I seem to remember even when I was 5 we had a book that explained everything. RTFM, as they say!

Pammi 0 #9 January 17, 2003 Hmm..my parents didn't really teach me anything. I got the basic "he puts his thing in your thing" and that's about it. I recall asking if it hurt, and my mom saying, "Would I have had you three if it did?" LOL! I do remember trying to look up blow job once also when I was a kid because I thought I knew what it was, but it didn't make sense that they called it a blow job! I've explained things to my daughter already who just turned 11 a couple of days ago, and my son knows the basics as well. And no, I have NOT explained blow jobs and hope I don't have to any time soon! Pammi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splittail1 0 #12 January 17, 2003 I vividly remember... my mother is a midwife so she thinks of all 'child-bearing' related topics in a very matter-of-factl, insensitive way. I was 4 years old and I was in my parents bathroom watching them get ready when the thought 'where do babies' first played in my mind. So I asked and my mother who, very matter of factly, told me, everything. I remember looking at my father, looking back at my mother, and feeling so disgusted with the two of them! Again, I was four! Instinctually, I understood it to be a good thing, but my innocent mind could not accept it. How about the first time you got the mother/daughter talk talk (or for men - the father/son version)? You know the one, where they tell you 'you can always come to them for help' blah blah blah - I was 11. We were in Philly, my father and brother left the hotel and I was held hostage, screaming quietly, and she wouldn't stop. augh! it was horrible. 15 years later and I still shudder at the uncomfortable memory.

Schroeder 0 #13 January 17, 2003 mom, drunk, hottub. Nono, not like that. She called me over while she was in there and said "I think it's time we had a talk" She went on to try to fumble around explaining stuff, while I was interjected during every sentence "yeah mom, I figured that out" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jose 0 #23 January 18, 2003 My neighbor taught me about the birds and the bees. He had me come over after school sometimes and would give me candy if I would let him give me a bath. I thought that it was weird that he didn't want me to tell my parents or teachers though, I figured that they didn't know yet either. So I've known for a long time. EDIT: As entertaining as this post is, I didnt write it. Some hoser got my password somehow and was posting in my name. At least he was funny and not a prick.
