Have your parents taught you sexuality?

Post Reply New Topic

Well, I learned about it before I was like five. I was 11 by the time I was in the 6th grade. I even learned about the clitoris before I was like 10. BTW even some places in the US don't want to teach about sex in schools. They somehow think it will be perverted and trigger desires. HECK, the strongest trigger I had in school was a girl dancing in spanish class. I SWEAR, it seemed like I could see EVERY curve! They didn't talk about sex, and SHE never said a word, but I was like pavlov's dog, and she was like a dinner bell!

KOR,

HECK, I STILL remember the teachers keeping boys and girls in separate lines going out the door, and the girls were obviously VERY different from the boys. Back then, it was even more obvious than now. I can't imagine being treated so differently, etc... and not understanding HOW there was a difference more than clothes or even skin deep. And how do you go through puberty seeing half the class change in ways different from the other half, without wondering?

lol my mum would just tell me flat out and my dad would always argue with her for it.

When I have kids, I want to be open with them about sexuality. I feel that I suffered from being raised in a conservative family that treats sex almost as something that no one does and no one talks about. I would feel guilty for thinking about sex, and I still have some of that feeling. It's hard to shake off. Until I was almost 18, I didn't consider the possibility of getting a girlfriend, because I didn't think that my family wanted me to. Now I know that kids start having sexual interests once they start puberty. That's what puberty is. So I want them to be well-informed and taught that it's a natural thing.

Honestly-- As a young child, I read human anatomy books and loved learning about the parts of the body, but they only showed the inside of the body, not the outside. So I knew everything about how a baby develops and even about eggs and sperm, but I never thought about how they got together. And my school didn't believe in sex education in schools, so I didn't learn much about it there either. Due to my Aspie-ness, I was oblivious in that area later than a lot of people!

My father did give me The Talk when I was a teenager, but I was so embarrassed that I just sort of sat there in stunned silence and didn't ask any questions. I'm still sketchy about a few of the details to be perfectly honest.

I asked my mom a few years ago if we ever had that conversation growing up. She answered in the negative.

Apparently I just figured it all out on my own, and then proceeded to have the missing bits filled in by school in both the 5th and the 6th grades.

The funny part is that even with all of that, I still didn't figure out the finger and what the f-word meant until the 8th grade.

My mother told me the basics of it when I was 4 and I asked her where babies came from.

they gave little books about sexeductation

My mom one day came into my younger sister's bedroom when we were playing house, and she gave me a book, and said, "It's time for you to learn about the birds and the bees." I took the book and threw it, running outta of the room, screaming like a girl.

LOL

(really, this is the truth)

No, never. A girl in nursery school taught me the basic facts with a couple of anatomically correct dolls, and later, in third grade we had sex education where we observed a pair of hamsters procreating.

I had it figured out for myself by the time I was 4. There was never any need to teach me... this ofcourse made sex ed extremely boring for me, but at least I didn't giggle like most of my classmates did

Frankly I think I would have been greatly insulted if my parents had talked to me about this.

I was given "The Talk" at 9. Just the basics. ALLOT of random facts. But then at 13 I began to independently study. Human Sexuality is my passion/obsession. Over all! This is my section of expertise. Funny thing is.. The Sex Ed film I had to watch in 5th grade had 0 (zero) affect on me.

I taught myself by reading about reproduction of dolphins, a topic I was obsessed about at the time, which led me onto reading up about reproduction of humans. It was interesting stuff. Just a pity that all I know of sex at this age is still mostly from books.

They never taught me on anything sex related. At three, four, I knew about 'sex' = babies, adults doing it for fun, nasty story nobody wants to talk about because of nakedness and kissing and stuff. I never cared, body parts and sex seemed very uninteresting. I couldn't care less for my own sex as a child. Or others' body parts. I never asked anything.

I read the exacts on how to have sex up in a book when I could read! I wanted to know how sex was defined by adults.So when my mother left this huge 'medical dictionary' out, I grabbed it and read in it when she wasn't looking. It was very boring to me. Body parts, sperm, birth control. Even the illustration were boring. I concluded: sex was even more boring. (Good thing, I was only just in elementary school.)

It amazed me that the others didn't know about sex until much later. And how it was news to many in fifth grade how sex with 'vaginas and penises' worked.

My family never ever talks about sex. Never. Not a single word is uttered about it. If I ever have children, they'll know about it all along too, like me. I don't see how it's a shameful topic. Or why not to talk about it.

My parents never gave me the talk, they game me a book and said I should ask if I have questions.

In grade 5 the girls where taken to a different room to tell them about PMS. we would then get the the the rest of sex-ed in grade 9. My mom however relied on others to tell me about it, like the school, and a sex-ed tape that she got from a nurse and showed it to me.

In my early teens I borrowd a book that was made by a website called 'gurl' (Not sure if it's still around) the book was called 'deal with it' and it was packed with real good questions and answers on the changeing female body. my mom discoverd the book in my closet and got concerned, I said that she never talked to me about that stuff so what else was I supposed to do? Books, tapes, and school where the only methods of sex-ed she ever gave me. so much for mother-daugher talks.
