If you had not been taught it, would you figure out sex on your own?

If you lived a very sheltered life, your parents never taught you about sex, and you had no one else who would either, how do you think you would figure out sex? Animals do it, people did it for centuries without being taught. Do you think you would be like this supposed Chinese couple?
I think that if no taught me, I don't think I would figure it out on my own, except maybe through experimentation.

I really did have sheltered parents that did not teach me about sex!
My mom just warned me about it when I was younger (like don't let guys talk me into anything I wasn't comfortable doing or lying in bed with a guy because I'd wind up pregnant).
But as for a real sex talk? Nope. I guess she figured we would have that talk whenever I showed real interest in a guy! Haha.

I had to learn about it from the internet, friends, and other places.

Yeah I think I'd figure it out. Straight sex anyway. I don't know if I'd be going down on anyone if I didn't know about that stuff lol

My parents never gave me "the talk". The 1st time I had sex I had no clue what I was doing... I still have no idea how anything in regards to sex works.

The first time I had sex, neither of us had any knowledge about it. We were too young. It didn't take long to figure out. We didn't understand that we had to move, but we got the right orifice. We noticed that when we mated together and when we pulled apart were the most pleasurable times, so we put it together.
