Found out through a medical dictionary or something similar, at my grandparents' house when I was....eh, I don't remember the age. Young enough. I would guess around 10 or younger. Maybe younger.

I can still kind of remember the scene, pretty sure I had taken that dictionary with me somewhere for some light reading - reading about various medical things absolutely fascinated me at that age. So I'm just randomly reading pages, and I come upon an entry that...didn't go into full details, and thankfully had no illustrations that I recall, but went into the basics of what happened...

I still remember my reaction. "No way, they have to be kidding!"
Yeah, even that brief explanation shocked me then.

And then I think I tried to forget I even read it, heh.

I was in 5th grade and it was required by our school to teach what it was. They split us into guys and girls and talked to each group separately while the other group sat in the cafeteria reading the bible. Classic catholic grade school lol

I had already kinda knew about it though so it wasn't all that shocking when my teacher told us about it.

On the bus in the 5th grade. Learned from good ole fashion perverted jokes that kind of just made everything click. I then had to sit through an awkward conversation in 7th grade with my mom and I had to try and explain I already knew about it but THANX.

Back in my school we had a nurse come in and explain to us about puberty and sex.
My mother also explained to me about menstruation and what to expect and stuff.

The clips are all loaded,
now what shall you do?

Hanging out with older kids at latchkey, I guess, because my earliest memory of the topic is dying of laughter while in 2nd grade because a 5th grader made the joke that it's like a car going into a garage. I mean it was just like learning about anything at first, to me - word of mouth from peers I suppose. I never thought of it as anything like some secret.

I was only 9 years old. I was rummaging through my mom's Cosmopolitan magazines. There were so many interesting articles in there, and I also found out that girls can do girls too. Of course, i didn't understand how girls were able to do so, but I found it out quite early. Well, that's much better than reading about how guys can bang other guys at an early age amirite?

I learned about puberty around 5th grade but I don't think the basics of sex has been mentioned. My parents haven't gotten the chance to give me the talk since I didn't ask/wasn't interested in finding out more about it until much later.

Spoiler:
I think 6th or 7th grade I heard the news about some students doing oral sex in the bus and that's when I wanted to know a bit more about sex. Oddly enough, it was South Park where I learn several sex terms before having sex ed in high school, haha.

My mum explained sex and menstruation to me via diagrams she drew. I was about 9 years old. My mum let me watch whatever I wanted so it explained a few things I'd seen in films lol. I remember understanding very well what she was desribing and "thinking I'll never need this information, sex sounds meh".

I learned about sex when I found my dad's porno tapes. I had been looking for the tapes he recorded Batman The Animated Series on and I looked for them all the way in the back of the entertainment center. I pulled out some tapes and popped them into the VCR to see if they had what I was looking for. When I saw what was on those I sat there for hours watching all of them. I was about 7 or 8. My parents never had the talk with me, my mom bought me a book on puberty that explained a lot, then I learned the rest at school talking with other students. I remember when I watched that tape though I was like "this must be why I have to cover my eyes sometimes on movies" Lol.

I really don't remember. I know that I used to think that the boy would put his thingy in between the girl's legs and she'd squeeze and it would infect her somehow so that a baby would start growing. I actually don't know when I realized that there was a certain hole that played a part in it all hahaha. Maybe around the age of 9?
