Who taught you about "the birds and the bees" when you were young?

My parents never talked about sex openly when I was young, and before I was even curious about how babies were made, a friend from the neighborhood talked to me about it. I was 6 back then.
Later on during my teens I always relied on the internet to do my own research about how things worked.

What about you?

  • I never was taught or told anything about sex
    and I learned most stuff from school and science
    and health class.. When I was a teenager I had high
    sex drive I would have wet dreams and wake up and
    had to masturbate more just to get relief I was sexually
    aroused but I was told by therapist that I could been
    victim of sexual abuse all I thought about was sex
    from age 13-18 I can remember going out to friends
    house and you could see my hard-on through my shorts
    it was like I didn't care

  • I was like 9 when my brother explained it to me because was so persistent in asking. He opened up his science book and read this definition, but all I caught was something about 'sticking penis in the vagina' and I was so shocked, I just sat there with my mouth open and asked him 'in the vagina?' and he's like 'yeah' all matter of fact. I was dry mouthed for the rest of the week.

  • I learned from reading about it... And I took sex Ed in middle and high school... My parents were strict Christians... Sex wasn't discussed in the home...

    • My parents are christian and so I am, I think there's no need to such secrecy if things are told the right way. I don't want to make the same mistake with my own kids.

    • Sameeeeee!!!
