Guys, so when you were growing up as a teenager could you speak to your parents about sex, or more specifically to your mother about it? Did they try to talk to you about it, did you get the birds and bees talk? Maybe you could talk to your Dad about it but not your Mum (mom) or vice versa. Can you talk to them now as an adult about sex or still not a subject for discussion in the family? If you're a parent of a boy, Mum or Dad, can you talk to your boys about it, do you talk about it? I can't speak to my parents about and never have wouldn't want to either, but I think thats a generation thing, it just wasn't done when I was young.

Guys, did you ever speak to your parents or specifically your mother about sex?
No, not extensively at all. I learned almost everything about sex outside my home, whether it be from sexual education in school, other friends, online, etc. I think the vast majority of my knowledge came from online.
Thats good to hear, I think kids should be able to be open with their parents about it. Do you think speaking about it from an earlier age will mean they'll come to you in their teens if they have questions?
Ohhh hell yeah , my mother , no problem , shed go into incredible detail , I didn't often seek her council , it was often her asking things , and conveying experience , but sure it was certainly fine , never ever taboo , she was all over what her job was , information. Did give me some very good advice , I will say.
Nope. My parents did not believe in sex before marriage. My sex talk was literally “don’t have sex until you are married.” The end. I was 12. And even then I thought to myself fuuuuuck that. I will do whatever the fuck I want with my body and lie about it.
I spent the night in my bedroom with my long distance girlfriend. Nothing happened but when she found out she started to give me a lecture. I just put my hands over my ears and begged her to stop talking. I was 20 years old.
I never felt like I couldn’t, but never felt the need to. My dad explained the basics just before I started Sex Ed in school with taught me everything fundamental. The only person who would have the answers to my remaining questions is my future wife 99.9% of the time.
It's good that one of them could come to you about it, Most kids would feel uncomfortable talking about it especially for boys but what about you, did you feel awkward talking to him about it?
