i didn't ask lmfao. i never really cared to know, so i never brought it up with my parents. i learned through school. had i asked my mom, she probably would have just told me "from mommy's tummy" which isn't a total lie, but just dumbed down. if i had asked my dad on the other hand, he probably would have told me straight up. even when i was very little, he took me seriously and would just be honest with me. which led to me going to him first if i ever had any questions lol. i think honesty (within reason - like you don't need to explain the entire process like fallopian tubes n shit to like. a four year old) is the best policy when it comes to this stuff.

edit: just remembered that my dad bought my an encylopedia set when i was about 9? and it had a human body section, including these like. see through pages with the process of a fetus growing. like you turned the pages and saw it develop more. so like there was no hiding it from me that they grew in the uterus, i just don't think i understood how that was made until they taught us at school when we learned reproduction. also a scary thing - i didn't know you had to actively participate in sex. like i thought the penis slithered into the vagina like a snake. i blame that 'mom turn your headlights on there's a snake in your garden' joke i heard at a young age. and that joke is a PRIME example of why NOT to use stupid names for genitals.

Never had the conversation, lol. Not that my parents were prude about it, they would openly have sexual discussions in front of me, but I think they just assumed I was already sexually active by the time that conversation would have normally happened for other kids. Then sex education was (poorly) taught and any missing pieces were filled in by the internet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
