It got way too quiet on the board. Must fix this.

I don't actually recall. I think it may have been combination of strong hints from my parents, educational videos in High School, instructional videos after High School (often starring Jenna Jameson...) and generally picking things up here and there.

I didn't actually get to try it out until I was nearly 20, but it seemed my technique was sound.

Mind you, If you have the requisite equipment, show a bit of enthusiasm, and don't say anything too mad halfway through, then I don't see how you can fail...

playground rumour all the way. luckily, the playground was pretty clued up in my school..

I'm not sure I think it was a combo of things, but mostly I think I learned it from books, and many classes from seventh grade on!

i cant really remember either. i knew all i needed by those sex ed vids we got.. i think it was my mum telling me the 'love' stuff and my older sister telling me the facts and such. they still try to give me the facts of life talk now..im not exactly innocent anymore but to parent im still her youngest baby...m'ah

Whoa, you read my mind, I was going to make a similar poll.

I never ever ever want to hear a family member talk about sex. EVER. That is so disturbing an idea to me. I guess I kinda learned about it from TV, but I didn't know what it was until I started reading about it and such. My schools never did a "Sex Ed" class or assembly or anything, only crap about girls getting their time of the month and males "changing" a lot. I haven't gotten to try this yet, though. I know, *gasp*, what a shocker...

I THINK my mom kind of did... But she always had all the "important talks" with me and my older sister at the same time... so I was really young and had not a clue what was being said or going on... Other than that, we studied sex in health education in middle school and again in high school... then there was "life's education"

Umm. I learned mostly from books and from the kids at school. I'm a teenager so my mom is constantly reminding me to 'tell her when I'm ready.' uh huh. It was really funny the first time she tried to talk to me, she got a little flustered and then when I told her I knew all of it she got mad. I thought that was funny...

kids at school some must have been watching porn at the age of 9, we knew a lot there.

thats the catholic school system for ya

my mom, and my worst enemy too. i picked mom though. yes, those are 2 different peopl.e my worst enemy was an 8 year old with porn.

*sigh*

It'd be the skin flick fer me...

/me feels greatness slippin

But it wuz a proper one tho, all panhandles an flapshots

School and TV for me. I also saw my friend's dads and older brother's porn waaay too early.

sex.... well, i guess i found out from my friends who were *hates to admit it* kinda really horny 5th graders, so they kinda told me, then theres the tele, and the biological part cleared the rest (not too much left to though...) its just kinda weird, they are still teaching it in highschool, and i can kinda see why but i dont think theres a soul in that class that doesnt know about sex (and i dont doubt a few have first hand experiance)....

That's kind of weird. Everyone else here says that they got sex ed classes in high school but we started out sex ed in 4th grade and we were finished by the end of junior high.

Ah yes, Sex...

Heh, kinda funny, I was expecting the pep talk with my mother about it, but instead found out on my own through reading a lot of anatomy books during elementary school and watching "The Learning Channel" a lot growing up so I kinda got the idea...but I don't think I thought about it much until I started watching porn which was during the summer of 99, I have stopped cuz ya we do not have cable errrrr but its all good.

BUMP

wow... this thread was from my noob days... how did i miss it? <mutters curses under breath>

anyways...

i have NO idea how i learned about it... i never got "the talk"... i knew about it before i saw porn for the first time (at the tender age of 9).... i was never told about it by friends... i never saw animals have sex until i was like 14... i didnt take sex ed until 8 grade....

School taught me about sex. My little sister asked our mom about it once, and her response was, and I quote: "Sex is when a man and a woman make love."


Yeah, that's real descriptive, Ma.

i was in my perentals bed room and i found a copy of a sex book under the bed and read it i was only 9 years old too

Same here, except the porn magazines I saw were my cousin's or uncle's or whoever it belonged to. And my dad used to let us watch Rated R movies waaaayyyyy too early (my bro was about 4 and I was 6, or maybe even younger).

But I learned the more useful (and truthful) stuff from reading about it -- mostly from sexuality textbooks. Earlier than that, I learned at school (through reading the textbook again).

And then mummy kissed daddy and daddy told the angel and the angel told the stork and the stork came and put a diamond under a leaf in the cabbage patch and the diamond grew into a baby!

...I'll get my coat.

Seriously, I don't remember. I expect I read about it. That's what happens when you're reading Terry Pratchett at nine years old.

sounds like me..I was reading Anita Blake at 12...and stuff like it since I was 8 so I dont remeber if it was a friend...or reading about it...

I really can't remember

Umm... yeah... I got a hold of the kama Sutra a couple of years ago.. very interesting thing to read when your 13...

Heh, television. My parents still havent given me the "talk" and i'm 13! Sheesh, I think they're just nervous, lol.

my parents never gave me the talk.. they just decided I'd figure it out for myself...

i walked in on my mom and her x.. it was hella nasty.... i was like 4 so i learned young.. then i watched my mom be raped when i hid in the closet.. then i asked my brother and he told me everything,.... he gave me the hole dirty,sweaty truth... it was crazy.. he gave me the visuals and everything *super nasty comeing from him*

Technically since I am the only child of a single mom , who was then a teen and my teen Gay Bio-dad... (he had to prove to his 'rents that he was "normal" ) it was other adults and peers that I've met across time...long story I shall write about it sometime...

..and then there was Mrs. Saltzman... ummm....


...yeah ...

Come on VVes, tell us the story, even if you have to make another thread!

And as for me......everything I learned I figured out myself for the most part. Lead to a lot of.......clumsy encounters.........but it was interesting nonetheless.

Well , I dunno , there's the NC-17 version and the XXX version...although the R rated version could be quite entertaining...

Nah... I would need a web page for it , too much "messiness" in muh life... clumsy? hell yeah it was clumsy ... but i got after a few minutes...hehehe...ahem....cough...

::looks around and whos watching::

my mom and then kids giggled about it in school.. i didnt know waht 69 was untill like freshamn year lol

On the sex subject, I learned my dad had his tubes tied. Yeah, I dunno when, I never remember him sitting around with an ice pack on his crotch.

How did I find out you may ask? mom suprised us with news of DSL and it sounded like she was pregnant.

I don't talk about that stuff with my parents. I can't even watch movies with them

I watched American Pie and Six Feet Under with my mother. *shrugs*

the media... television, radios and movies as well...

that's how far i could remember...

that's it... no further explanation...

That sucks. I'm sorry.

its ok... i got my payback *evil grin*

*hugs*good thing...

i learned from tv. nobody in my family thinks i need to know so they havent told me. i know enough to live life and get down with my bad self. ive always had to figure things out for myself. no big deal. just dont ujnderstand why nobody wants to tell me stuff.....

kelly j.

Because the world is a terrible terrible place, and if you don't know about it, it's not real!

*looks around*

Wait a sec... ...yeah I never understood that protective logic either...

My mom taught sex ed in my church's 3rd grade sunday school class. I got to hear all about sex and my parents' sex lives at age 8, sitting in a classroom at church with 16 of my peers. It was just swell

although it did have the positive outcome of my being incredibly open and honest when discussing sex in almost any situation...

*sigh*

sadly....i have no idea what sex is

um..i forgot...i think my dAD prolly

Bah, I accidentally nulled my vote. For the record, I read about it.
