Did you ever have "The Talk" with your parents? If so, howd they do? LOl. I never talked to them about it.. makes me uncomfortable! LOl. Plus, Im 18 so Id hope I know by now! We're a close family, but when it comes to that stuff... its left unsaid. They never talked about drinking, smoking, and drugs either. Meangya, theyre just lucky I dont do any of that stuff- I couldve been a knocked up coke addict @ 15. They should THANK ME for knowing what to do!! LOl

I never have and never will talk to my parents about sex...it's just not something they or I have ever wanted to discuss with one another.

No she didn't. I learned in sex-ed and from searching up porn I learned some good positions. I've only done it once though. *sigh*

My parents are a very straight laced Catholic couple, so they didn't talk to me about sex at all. Everything I know a lot about sex I learned at school or from friends..

Wow, that explains alot.

We aren't exactly what you'd call a 'close family', we're more on the.... 'not close' side but still. They should have talked to me about it. Luckily, I had big mouth friends at school, and I learned it all in like, first grade

Keep up the good work..... :clap:

As for me... My parents didn't tell me anything. My big sis. told me and she was told by her friends but, they left alot out.

I think it is so important for parents to talk to their kids.

same thing here... I found out what sex was from a friend at school... then just growing up i learned everything else I know. My mom tried to have the "sex talk" with me.. but all i remember is her turning really really red and telling me to stay away from boys till marriage.. i had no idea what she was talkign about at the time, lol.

My parents never gave me "the talk" - I learnt everything I know from porn movies and those glib little pamphlets you get from the school nurse!
I remember my mum giving me a book on the subject when I was about 13 - it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.
I never talk about the actual act of sex with my parents. I sometimes sit and talk with my dad about women and that. Well, not in great detail cos he doesn't know I'm into women. And I only ever talk about stuff like that with him when we're both drunk cos I know he won't remember anything I've said the next day.

Nope... My moms like, "With all that stuff online, in movies, on TV and in your magazines... you most likely know more than me!"

And its not that she didn't want to talk about it... she did all that "period" info for me... it was just funny. Its like the media can teach us anything today.

But... my brother is in 5th grade and brought home a flyer the other day on how they will watch the "movie" soon.... lol. I think my dad may have to talk to him soon.

No. What I learned I learned at school. In Health or Sex Ed classes. And "word of mouth" I guess you could say. Fortunately I never did anything I regret either. So I'm with MCOB, my parents are lucky and should be thanking me! I do have a friend though who said she found out by her mom giving her a book about it and saying "Here, read it" and never saying another word about it. Unfortunately she was about 10 at the time...not a good book for a 10 year old I don't think.

well...this is a sad story. :lol:

i was 12 by the time my mother figured she better tell me something
my school doesnt do much in the way of sex ed till late middle school (even though i had known most stuff since 2nd grade camp- 3 weeks with a bunch of older dancers- they talk)

so, my mother has serious issues talking about anything- let alone sex- so she went to boston to visit her cousins for the weekend and wrote me a letter!!! in 3 pages she summed up everything she thought i needed to know about life, stamped, addressed and mailed it to me...yeah...thanks mom...

can you tell just how close we are?? :rolleyes:

Hah, Thank God no. We used the same bus as the high school kids did and we'd notice all this stuff scratched onto the seat. After we learned what it meant, we made jokes about it amongst ourselves and every two weeks, someone would have a new story to tell about sex.

Then, after middle school and all that terrible stuff, came the terrible world of high school health. Completely off topic, I know puberty's the answer, but it always irritated me to know that the same guys I went to 8th grade with left over the summer and came back in high school twice our height and incredibly good looking.

I learned originally from my friends so when my mom attempted to tell me when I was about 11, on the way to the mall, I got really embarrassed and told her I didn't want to talk about it and that I knew. I think it was because she started the conversation with, "You know that now you started your period you can get pregnant?" and I was still young enough to be embarrassed about that.

Lets open this up this up a little. Really, however difficult it may be for parents to talk to their kids about sex, it's negligent when they don't at least make an attempt to talk to their kids about sex. But, It ain't easy so most don't. So... here's the elaboration: Some of you, or "friends of yours", lol, started having sex, and your parents knew it and you knew that your parents knew it. Did they talk to you about sex then? Did they pretend that they didn't know? Did they get mad as hell and treat you like scum? What, if anything, did they do or say?

Like I said, my parents never talked to me about sex at all. My family never talk about anything so it's nothing unusual.

I didn't really learn anything there.. lol. But I know a lot about the Bible... as if that was going to teach us about sex. :rolleyes:

Well my parents never gave me the sex speech I learned that in school. Our school nurse gave a speech on it one day when I was in 5th grade and she showed us a video about it to. Oh but my mom did talk to me about girly stuff when I was eleven but she only gave me a 15 minute speech. But my sunday school teacher would talk about sex well atleast why you should wait and stuff like that so I learned enough about it.

My mom kinda knows I'm having it. Her only "talk" about it? She got me to volunteer at Planned Parenthood:lol: I still do, btw.

I don't think I'd be able to find the moment she found out I was having it, but y'know, I'm in a high school, I have a steady boyfriend, she kinda assumed that it was happening. My dad pretends that he doesn't exist, it's not brought up with him. They know and keep it to themselves.

I told my elder brother....and he nearly had a heart attack. Next morning, I had a pack of a form of birth control left on my bed and Josh had a stake and a death threat in front of his door. How sweet....:rolleyes:

My mom told me about it when I was in second grade. She really didn't want to but I kept on asking and asking where babies came from and she finally just told me to get the talk overwith.
I remember her telling me at the kitchen table and my older brother was in there and he wouldn't stop cracking up the whole time my mom was talking.

My parents never talked to me about it,however are school nurse in the 8th grade showed us a video and gave us alot of pamphlets,also the pastors and Sunday school teachers talked about it and from just seeing some kids in my school (there weren't many but there were a few) who have "done it" and talking with my friends I know that I will wait until I'm married for that and there is nothing wrong with that.

I remember my mother having a paperback version of the New King James Bible, which is a translation I personally like, but some authors decided to add some silly index which said "Everything you need to know about sex:" and it was all basically "You shall not have sex with animals; you shall not have sex with relatives; you shall not have sex with..." TONS AND TONS of verses in the Old Testament that had NOTHING to do with the goodness of sex or anything...:rolleyes: THAT WAS EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT SEX???:confused: :rolleyes: "Who and what not to have sex with...."

My learning about sex was actually very traumatic for me. Back in the summer of 1976, I went to a girl's house in the neighborhood who had a "reputation"...and stayed until 2 in the morning. Yeah, I hoped I could get lucky but the only thing I got to do was kiss, which was still a big deal for me at the age of 13 1/2... The next day my older brother INTERROGATED me as to what happened, I was trembling so bad that it was the BIGGEST, most HUMILIATING thing to tell him that I kissed this girl...I was not really close to my family to tell them about personal things like that. He was trying to get me to confess to some ilicit hanky-panky activity, which there was none to speak of...so then he got me into VERY personal questions about strangling chickens...

It was a horrible evening....:(

Strangling?chickens....lol. I hope you got to punch him in the nose one day after that Captain. He was clearly just trying to torture you for his own entertainment. But it is similar to the reason I brought up that bit about what parents did after they realised that their kid was having sex. In my case they were so lost as to how to act that they resorted to trying to shame me. It didn't work, and it then left a bad taste in my mouth about my parents for the rest of my life. It sure as heck didn't convince to be ashamed or to feel that sex was bad. Parents have to try to rise above their weaknesses in order to raise their children. That's what being a parent requires. Anything less is inadequate. It's not an easy task, but that is the task.

It didn't seem like he was doing it for his own amusement at the time ("Big Brother is watching you" sort of thing), but now I think that was the deal. I never talked with my mother about that. OMG I remember when I snuck off with his Playboy mag and looked at it in the garage and he threatened to tell...and I felt oh no.....:( I actually found out he never did, that was just his weapon to keep me in line....
