How did you find out about "The Bird's and the Bee's"

[JohnC]

I was listening to this on radio last week and there were some pretty interesting/ funny responses, so I thought I'd ask it here.

How did you find out about sex?

[PoP]

My dad showed me book about sex, I was 11 years old, I didn't ask about...sex, I asked what they mean by..."balls", I never usually say that. I didn't understand about sex until was about 13 or 14 years old I think.

[kottur13]

Edit.

[analogue]

I learned from TV

[Donathan]

We were taught about it at school in year 6...so I was 10. Until I was about 13, I didn't realise you had to push in and out, I thought you just stuck it in there and did nothing. LOL.

You were 10 in the 6th grade? :O Were you a super-genius?

[JohnC]

Thats the age we get taught about it in Australia.

[suzynyc]

I had no father around so he did me no good. My mother tried to talk to me but she's very shy about that stuff. I learned the details from TV, movies, magazines, classmates. And I learned a lot about what NOT to do from observing my older sisters (not to be promiscuous).

[MJsBollywoodGirl7]

Well I had found out about it on my own. I was 7 or 8 years old when I had accidentally discover these porn magazines that both my mother and her one brother had. And a few years later. I had discover a few porn videos that my mother had in her closet. I didn't have sex education in school until I had gotten in to high school. I was probably 15 or 16 when I had that. Even though us kids pretty much already know what we had needed to know about sex at that age.

You were 10 in the 6th grade? :O Were you a super-genius?No, I'm from England...year 6 is the last year of primary school.

Let me just say that I was a very curious 10/11 year old. I had my own laptop at that age so I just did my own research and found out myself. lol. My parents never talked to me about sex and they still haven't. I'm 16 but they just figured I'd learn about it at school. But they know I'm educated about it and that I'm not naive. ha, they know I know about sex. :p Also, TV kinda helped as well.

Honestly, when I was reaaally really young, when I used to think sex was laying in a bed and making out. lmao. I guess that's about 1/4 of it though. :lol:

[Nirvana]

Ummm Internet JK

I can't remember but i remember my dad saying literally "When you wake up with a hard nob go out and shag the fittest bird you can find"

[kottur13]

[suzynyc]

Hmm. Now I'm kind of glad I grew up without a father...

[JMie]

found a book about Emmanuelle in my parents room and read it. lol

[Thriller_MJ]

I had Sex ed in School, although most of my sex ed came from watching Porn.

[The One.]

My parents never ever talked to me about that stuff, so my education came from school and .. well I really don't know how I found things out :D

[Nirvana]

Super awesome parenting skills right there...

Yep big dog ;), But i didn't take it on board

[Nirvana]

Hmm. Now I'm kind of glad I grew up without a father...

Sorry to heard that, My dad died when i was 14

[suzynyc]

Sorry to heard that, My dad died when i was 14

Aww I'm very sorry. I don't know what's worse, a father abandoing his children or dying. I guess dying is worse. Either way, you miss out on so much. :better:

[Nirvana]

Aww I'm very sorry. I don't know what's worse, a father abandoing his children or dying. I guess dying is worse. Either way, you miss out on so much. :better:

Thanks, I think abandoning is worse because everyone dies and you don't have a choice, But you can choose to abandon your child

[shaugnie]

My cousin made me watch a porno when i was like 7! I was never the same again! :lol:

[forevernmyheart]

On my own.

[Sharlene]

lol @ the responses about porn XD
well my parents were always awkward about growing up topics so i just learned from HRE in primary school in grade 4 so i was 8. but i'm gonna make sure i'm open with my kids and not be awkward!

[Grand Master S]

Television/movies for the basic idea and then the Internet.

[mjfan1990]

[Desired.]

TV, movies.. *ahem*.. porn.

[JohnC]

Im glad no one has said 'The Catholic Church'...

[Michelle MC]

Im glad no one has said 'The Catholic Church'...


Was that really necessary??!

[Earth_Song1]

Was that really necessary??!

I have to agree with you.

[Grand Master S]

ROFL. Yes, it was.

[bramhawk]

Im glad no one has said 'The Catholic Church'...

haha, you're right. Glad no one said that.
But to clear it out for the christians on this forum, I have NO problem with Christians/ catholics. I just hate "The Catholic Church", it's not necessary to be a Christian. It tells you what to do, but some things are better decided out of common judgement, then of a church. Everyday we complain about cults like 'the satanic church', 'scientology', .... But what do you think 'The Catholic Church' is?

Again: no harm meant to christians, I respect (and I'm sure JohnC does too) your wanting to Believe...

[Thriller_MJ]

Im glad no one has said 'The Catholic Church'...

:mello: LMAO!.

[aliana101]

Some of the comments in this thread made me laugh so much :hysterical:

[Courtney]

:laugh:

hehe, sorry. I chuckled when I first read that.
Not to offend anybody.

[andythemisfit]

Biology classes when I was fourteen years old. Before that I always used to believe that a woman got pregnant just because her body naturally felt like it and not because she needed some....ahem...help from a man. :blush:

[BillieJean84]

my great :rolls eyes: mother who is a hippie and so free spirited, just basically said to do it when you feel ready. That was pretty much it.
great parenting mom:smilerolleyes: :scratch:

[MySerenity5]

lols! Dying at the comments....

Anyways, my general knowledge came from the mandatory sex-ed we received in school. xD

But the age I really found out how sex works was when I was 12.

I mean I know that a man and a woman has to do something to make babies but I was pretty much clueless on how they do it. LMAO! :D

[BillieJean84]

actually I got more of an "education" when I lost my V to the man I fell in love with lol....He taught me a lot.

[Prince Of Pop]

I was 7 or 8 and found a book in my parents room about sex, and different positions. Later on I found my dad's stash of old Playboy magazines.


1st experience was in my teen years when I discovered masturbation...1st time I ever had sex, was with the woman who would eventually become my wife. :)

[Nirvana]

Angelina Jolie personally taught me init

[elusive moonwalker]

lol

dont ever remember being told its just something u knew about and picked up as u went

[iluv2drem]

I found out in 3 stages. I'm in the club of porn stash that my Dad had but that was mostly just nudity in playboy when I was about 5 or 6. Judging by pictures I thought sex was just getting naked and touching. Strange since he was may more conservative than my mom about it. His version of where babies came from was "A mommy and a daddy" hers was "A vagina". At age six you can picture my reaction :O. I found out the rest from my older sister, you know, the "how they're made" part. She was 3 years older than me and used to tell me all the other details whether I was ready or not. Hilarious now that I look back on it.

[Wingfoot]

I didn't realise you had to push in and out, I thought you just stuck it in there and did nothing. LOL.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I think I learned about it school (around the age of 10 or 11).. When I was a kid, I used to think that once you got married to someone and slept in the same bed, fairy dust and sparks would fly between both of them, and that's how babies started to grow in a mother's belly... lol..

[HarleyQuinn]

LMAO!! Some of the answers here!

It varied, from what I can recall.

My first exposure to anything pornographic was a Madonna video. Shocking, I know. It was 'Express yourself'. I remember getting this weird feeling back then and I still blush whenever I see the video. I noticed a similar pattern in other music videos as well. By the time I was 7-8, I pretty much figured it out. I used to watch Animal nature shows so when I put two and two together. I never mentioned it out loud because I didn't want to get in trouble. My first exposure to hardcore porn happened when I walked in on someone watching some pretty heavy stuff. I dont recall seeing male parts but I recall seeing a girl's boobs.

I also remember in third grade, our teacher gave us these animal profiles. We were divided by four to a table. My table had the Siberian tiger. She said 'if you had any questions, ask me'. Well, in the profile, the word 'sex' came up so being mischievous in my own way, I sent someone from our table to ask her. I wanted to see her reaction. I know this sounds a bit sophisticated for someone my age but I swear this happened. The teacher's response to the query was that it was 'male or female'. Our table was DYING because she underestimated us. True story.
