    It's the one thing a parent dreads doing and a child dreads having to endure: the sex talk.

    I promised myself I was going to get through this entire post without using the phrase "the birds and the bees", but then I'd have nothing to write in this strikeout section.

    So my question is, did your parents give you the talk? If so, what did they say? What did you say? Tell us your stories...
     
    My mum just pointed at the encyclopdia and said "That goes in that". :/
    I learnt from my mates though, lol.

    EDIT: 300th post :rambo:

    I learned from a friend in Year 6. I was grossed out. I knew it was intimate but I didn't know you conjoined with someone else like that xD

    No my parents haven't, they leave it to school and TV. It's best that way :)

    I lol'd xD

    Nope, they just excepted me to pick it up somewhere. I guess that was one of the perks of going to an urban primary school, if someone doesn't tell you you'll probably find it in a dirty magazine someone dropped round the back of the bike shed.
    i didn't learn from the magazine btw... i learnt it from a friend in year 4
     
    When I was pretty young I made an offhand comment that somehow incited Mother to sit me down and explain everything from conception to birth. All I remember is the phrase "fallopian tubes" and wanting her to finish talking so I could go back and play with my sister, who I could hear having fun in the hallway with Brother the whole time.
     
    My mom gave me mine 3 years too late in eighth grade :/ When I was in 5th grade I learned everything I needed to know from the sixth graders I sat on the bus with, they would talk about it and make jokes. Oh school buses.

    When I realized my mom was starting the talk, I could tell she reallllllllly didn't want to, so I was like "no, no it's okay! I already know about it, you can stop" which only managed to concern her more :|
     
    Did your parents give you the talk?
    Yup, they did. When I was about 9 or 10 years old.

    If so, what did they say?
    "When a Man loves a Woman and they both love each other they want to show how they feel towards each other. The--... and it went something like that. As I got older and more mature, they explained it properly to me.

    What did you say?
    I think I didn't say anything to it.
     
    I've never been given the talk as I have sex ed at my school. I've had it for 3 years straight.
     
    My dad certainly wins points for creativity...he used a hardcore pr0n site as a visual aid when he gave me the sex talk.

    It has had the unfortunate side-effect of giving me a lifelong repulsion to female anatomy. >_>
     
    Nope. I don't have any emotional scars from that, thankfully, non-existing conversation. n___n
     
    No. No, no, no, no, no, no. Noooo.

    I'll definitively have known what it was from about Year 4, but I might have learnt it from friends/the general playground atmosphere a year previously. My parents let me watch slightly more adult TV and films than I probably should have... so that probably was their way of avoiding 'the talk' with me! Because of this, I became aware of it earlier than some of my friends, but I don't think it's warped me in anyway. I'm just going to play with my love pillow for a while...
     
    My mom gave me a book one day called "What's Happening to My Body? Book for Girls" when I was in third grade, and told me to read it. No warning of what was inside. I promptly brought it to school and showed all my friends. :3
     
    No, the sex education study unit at school took care of that little matter for me.

    Knowing my parents, it would probably a) be uncomfortable for them; and b) turn into a scream-fest within a few minutes.
     
    Not really nope. Maybe smaller ones, but I more or less found out everything on my own (Against my will) throughout the years.
     
    Noooo, I learned from the gross school kids. She didn't even tell me about puberty. :| I learned all this stuff in 5th grade when they separated the boys and girls and informed them about what would be happening to their bodies soon. But they were SO vague even then that I had no idea even after they told us!
