How did you find out about sex as a kid? Or if your parents told you, what first made you curious?

One of my favorite childhood memories: When my brother was like 8 or 9 he went to my parents’ bedroom and noticed the towel on the bed. I was outside. I was 14 so I knew. I came in and he was bugging my mom about why it was there. She kept saying she just took a shower but he was like you’re not even wet, your hair isn’t even wet. I asked him was the towel on the edge of the bed or spread in the middle. He said the middle so I knew she was lying 😏hence my brother discovered sex

Mine was boring. Basically I got to the age where I started craving physical contact - I think I was about the same age, like 9 - and I wanted to watch Titanic with my mom. She had no choice but to explain to me what they were doing.

  • I was 5 and I was literally spontaneously jumping on a 6 years old friend of my village in his bed trying to get some basic physical stimulation (almost non-existent ofc), but somewhat we knew already it was something taboo and to be hidden from adults. In the same period, through his cousin who was 11 or 12, we discovered "the movies after midnight" by his descriptions but we never watched them, and decided to imitate them more. With no success of course, and it was more like playing, often ending in totally different scenarios like just playing something else than this. However, I don't know how, I knew already that this was the way to get pregnant so I was always going to the toilet and looking at the pee to see if by accident I lost some fetus there, worried to make my mother discover it. I quite much laugh at it.
    Then when I was 11, me and that friend (we completely stopped from time to do those things because we felt ashamed of nudity while growing), discovered porn VHS owned by his parents and well hidden in the house. We ingenuously played one without knowing what it was, and that was the first time I watched how it is, and it was a nun getting double penetration by 2 priests so I think I started with the highest blasphemy possible ahahah. However it was more like a thing "for science", we just analyzed the scenes and aknowledged how it is and that's it.

  • I was 11 and walked in on my parents doing bondage

    • Wow 🤣

    • I didn't really know what they were doing

  • I was the kind of kid who thought my desires would never come true. I was always curious to know what a Girl's body looked like, but I figured I would never find out, because it's not for Men to know. One day, in the car, my Mom told a funny story when early in Her Married life with my Dad, the power went out during their shower and She washed Her hair in the toilet tank. Surprised, I asked "Wait... a shower WITH Dad?" And She said "Well, yeah!" Even more intrigued, I asked "Like, at the same time?" Since then, I began to feel more excited to be alive. Of course, I didn't know how Sex worked... I didn't even have a HINT. Of course, I was curious. I found and read a book once made for younger children called "They wonderful way that babies are made". (Probably the BEST way to learn) Once I read the paragraph on the topic, I read it over and over, in disbelief. For the next few days, I was in shock, being relatively quiet. Through that time, I desired it. I had something to look forward to in a future relationship. Later on, I stumbled upon Pornography, and instantly grew hooked to it. Soon after, I taught myself how to masturbate.

    • that was a book for children? What, was it like animated pictures or something 😂😂

    • Well, as a book made in a Christian sense, it had pictures, but nothing explicit. (The closest thing was a couple kissing in bed) It had two paragraphs per page. (Smaller text was for kids who could read, larger text was for adults reading to children) Now, it didn't say things in a very erotic way, either... It mostly aired upon the beauty of life, and how conception goes, but it "touched" on how it starts. The sentence that was most naughty was "The Man's Penis, which is between His legs, goes into the Woman's Vagina, which is between Her legs." I'm sure if you googled the book, you could get a good view on it's "Innocent" nature.

  • My father paid this girl I, had a crush on. To sleep with me. I was 11. And she taught me a lot. And when I, got older. I found her. And showed her how much better I, gotten. Lol

  • I learned VERY early from TV and other media. Japanese TV is very sexualized, even the commercials. I remember seeing very graphic anime when I was little. I discovered the joys of touching myself really early. When I got a little older, my girl friends and I started doing a lot of experimenting when we were together. My mother knew about it and was ok with what we were doing. She made sure we had privacy in my room. We had talks about it and she gave me helpful advice. Later on, she bought a toy for me.

  • My parents were having sex and the bed was squeaking😂 so my oldest sister, 6 years older decided to try to explain the "birds and bees" to me and two of my other sisters, but apparently my youngest sister, the baby lol decided to discover on her own cuz she went into my parents room 🤣🤣

    • Funny way lol

    • You were one of 5 girls growing up?

    • LOL!

    • Well I was 14 so I knew

  • I'm pretty sure school did year five when I was 10 it was pubity week and they taught us about sex

    • Was it by pictures or a video?

    • Both there was a video of the fertility process and you see the sperm produced and how it creates an egg kinda like look who's talking

  • I think it was in movies and im pretty sure it did not effect me nor made me wonder about it until I was 12. I had more important fun things to do 😂 but at 12 I started to feel sexual feelings and maybe started to have questions by then

  • Well it's the digital era. Heard about in phones and from friends as well. But the real eye opener was when I caught my parents having sex when I was 12.

    • Wow so did they stopped and have the talk with you right there and then

  • I found about sex from my older brother. I reading about the towel on the bed. It's funny how parents feel a need to lie to kids about sex, but the kids often know something is amiss in what they say, and don't buy it.

  • I was like 9 and this boy told me he wants me to suck his d**k.

    I asked my teacher what that means. They called my parents. And the boy got in trouble.

    I asked my parents what it means and my parents said not to worry about it, it's grown up stuff.

    I couldn't let it go so i asked my cousin and she was like it's when you put a boy's thing in your mouth.

    I was like why would i do that? That's where pee comes from.
    She was like because they love it.

    She than said you better not put 1 in your mouth or i will kill you.

    I avoided that boy for like a month.

    • Just a month? Lmao girl you’re fearless! 🤣

    • Tbh, i really still didn't know what exactly it meant, just thought he was weird af.

    • Did you ever blow him? Maybe in high school?

  • I don't remember how? I know my parents didn't tell me anything. I just did on my own, just through media I guess. A friend of mine had his dad's porn videos we would watch sometimes (we were very young). Then probably just videos, tv, media. I don't think there was much in schools at that time. And the internet was new, so maybe there? I know the first time I had an orgasm through masturbation I had no idea what was going on and was freaked out! lol

  • my older sister found out and tried to fuck me. i was too young to get hard but we definitely buried that shit

  • Saw it. Still traumatized.

  • I didn’t know sex was even possible outside of marriage until I was like 14/15? My parents lied and said god took away that ability until marriage. :/

    • Only found out because friends told me.

    • But boys still have different organs than girls. I would think that’s a giveaway lol

    • Yeap agreed :/ I’m glad I was able to find out. No way in hell would my parents tell me the truth on the matter.

  • I don't even remember the first time I found out, it was more like bits and pieces along the way. My mom said I asked her what a dildo was when I was about 8 because I had heard it on the bus. My mom was always very honest, without extreme detail. I remember being in the car line to be dropped off at school and my mom making diagrams with her hands. I swore that everyone could see her and knew what she was talking about.

  • here's mine not only did i discover sex it happen. i useto have baby sittershe was in the 6 gradei was in kindergarden i we were playin nintendo duck hunt i rermber her kissing me im like whatrs up she pin me down pull my pants down i dont remember if we penatrated. i remember doing this every chance i could then she disapeared. i knew about this very young. i goft started again at 6tgh grade i could have bdeen a father at the age of 15 my ex miscarried that scared me strtaight but then i became a father at 19 that changed me forever. the way i talked women changed, the way i approuched a women changed and the way i treated her mom change i got a noisy little girl watching my every move.

  • Mostly discussing it with my buddies. Also from photos in magazines and movies.

  • HBO. I had a TV in my room and some program came on and it was a portrait shot of a woman masturbating and it cut to people having sex, etc. I was always watching HBO as a kid.

  • So by sex you mean masturbating? My first time I wasn’t really trying anything, i was just playing with myself and it started feeling good. I remember it felt like I wanted to pee but I didn’t want to stop. Only when I realised it wasn’t pee did it all click as to what I’d just done. I think I was about 12. From then on I couldn’t get enough of it. The lingerie sections in catalogues, even a 7” single I had of Taylor Dane where I could see some cleavage. My dad almost caught me. I suspect he knew.

    • No, I meant the real thing

  • Molested at age 4.
    Then taken advantage of by some other neighborhood boys until my mom told me not to be a victim and it was my choice what path I wanted to follow... that was about age 7 or 8.

    My teen years were desolate of anything sexual... aside from Louey and Ralph (my left and right hands).

    Then some TV shows.
    And some neighbor kid's parents had porn mags.

    • I'm sorry :(

    • It's ok, I'm fine now. But thank you.
