How old were you when you got the "talk"

[moe.ron]

Well?

[adpiucf]

I'm still waiting for it.

I got a book when I was 11. Does that count?

[lifesaver]

My older sisters' guy friends explained it to me. I was probably in about the 4th or 5th grade.

My mom still wont talk about such things.

I never got the talk either. I am the offspring of an immigrant mother. Asian mothers from the homeland giving their kids "the talk" are hard to find.

But when I got to high school, 3rd Quarter of Sister Katherine Francis' Growing in Faith Religion class was devoted to Sex Ed.

We watched "The Miracle of Life" and someone getting an abortion in the same semester.

5th grade. My mom found out that it was part of the 5th grade curriculum so she gave me the talk BEFORE the class.

I think when I was 13. Didnt really matter though, mine was more of a "use condoms" kind of talk. I was already well educated about sex and womanly body parts by the age of 13. Me and a few classmates got busted looking at dirty magazines in 2nd grade while on recess. I think I was like 6 or 7 years old. By 13 I had already felt on few girls's boobs and had stinky pinky once.

I take it you've been making the girls wet from the begining?


Thats my boy.

I think I was around 10 or 11. My mom gave me the "talk" and a book, and told me to read the book and ask her any questions.

I learned more from the book than from my mom. You know, like the fact that there are birth control methods other than abstinence.

Sounds similar to mine, except when my mom finally found out I was active, it was more along the lines of,

"yoooooooou fuuuuuuucking sluuuuuut, get out of my house!"

What can I say? She's from the motherland.

I got a book too. I think my mom thought would be enough to tie me over and she'd never have to discuss the subject but just to see her squirm a couple days after she gave me the book I go to her and "Mom where do babies come from?" She turned bright red. I got a kick out of it

When I was about 6, my mother read me a book that explained to children how babies are made.

At about age 10, my mom gave me a book called "What's Happening to Me?". It was a bunch of cartoon drawings that explain what happens to your body through puberty to adulthood.

She asked me if I had any questions but I was too embarrassed to say anything. I don't think we had an actual sex talk until I was much older and it was more of, "Mom, the school is increasing the price of my birth control pills. Can I put them under our prescription insurance?" I proceeded to get a lecture on using proper protection.

ETA: I just had to add a pic of the book she gave me because it cracks me up.

I never really got the talk. I'm good at figuring things out on my own.

I totally remember that book. A girl brought it to school in 4th grade and she caused such a stir so Miss Rowley made her stay afterschool.

I only got told about periods. Figured everything else out on my own and through the good help of the public school board.
