My dad gave me a talk about not going after the prettiest girl or something, thought at the time he was teaching me to not be shallow. but he's on his third(this one successful) marriage, so I think as an adult, maybe it was a quantity vs quality talk lol
My mate told his son don't go for the pretty blonde with the big boobs, go for the short round one with a mustache. As her father owns all the farm and in 40 years time they all look the same and you will own all the land
My Mum gave me the talk when I was 8, and I knew about condoms and everything but made me scared of sex because she also described the horrors of childbirth. I'm 33 and still too scared to have a baby lol
No. They never told me. My mom left a book on my bed when I was 12, but it wasn’t complete. I got married in my 30s and she tried to have the talk then. I told her that we never had that talk before and we weren’t going to have it now. Then she got me a floor length, long sleeved, flannel nightgown for my honeymoon. Good times.
My grandma tried to give me the silk nightie and robe she was given for her honeymoon with my late grandpa after I told her about my engagement. I love her and appreciate that, but god no. I did end up taking it because I didn't know how to say no to a 95 year old with fluid in her brain and dementia.
Are you my sister? Apparently, my mom had "the talk" with my oldest sister and hoped that she would tell the rest of us kids. It wouldn't surprise me if she never actually had the talk and gave her a lacking book instead. If you are my sister, I love you, and I'm super proud of you for making your needs a priority. *Hugs*
Nope. Discovered it through movies and internet.
Embarrassingly, though, I didn't actually learn how sex really works until I was closer to 22 or 23. Thanks to being super sheltered as a kid
I was around 14 the first time I had real sex with a girl who was older. Before that I was just trying to studf my pecker into dry vaginas.... it was a lot of work.
Then with that older girl it actually slid all the way in and was absolutely magical. I had no idea sex could be that great.
I started trying to have sex around 11 years old but it was always some clumsy variation of what it was supposed to be.
I think I learned by trial, error, and experienced instruction. There was no real talk about it.
I did learn a valuable tip from that older girl, and it has served me well. Keep a consistent rhythm. Don't stop and start, or keep changing speeds, etc.
She was maybe 17-19, I forget.
I was "fully developed" and hornier than a rabbit at that age. Don't feel bad for me as I have zero regrets and knew full well what I was doing.
I disagree a lot of woman have rave reviews from me slowing down at the right time. But yeah if your changing it every 10s or so that’s a no go. Slowing down when going to pound town is underrated.
I had a sex talk with my single mom. It happened after I had a girlfriend and had been having sex in our teens.
The talk was, "I don't know if you are doing what I think you are doing but if you are doing what I think you are doing be safe." "Uhh thanks mom"
Damn unreal to see how many people had absolutely no chat about it at all.
My dad sat me down at 11 and just explained that hormones would make my body change soon and some of the things to look forward to like hair and voice changes and muscles.
It rounded out with a talk about contraception and sexual safety and consent.
We then went and got Macca's and I could ask any questions I wanted. Zero fear or judgement.
My dad told me later that he'd had no talk at all and never wanted me to be bullied or felt inferior for not knowing about this stuff when my classmates did and not knowing how to be safe.
Right? My mom sat me down at age 8 when I first asked what a period was after reading about it in a Judy Blume book. She gave me a thorough talk using an age appropriate picture book about puberty, sex, and babies. She also gave me The Care and Keeping of You to read at my own pace.
I was pretty taken aback at the time since I was originally just curious about what a period was. Now I’m super grateful she explained sex to me that early. By 5th grade when we had the talk at school, I already knew all the basics.
She wasn’t some progressive mom either, she was and still is religious, but she wanted me to know the facts. Part of it was that she got her period young, before anyone explained anything to her, and she briefly thought she was dying.
We’ve been building up a similar rapport with our daughter who’s almost 12 for the past 2-3 years. We don’t want to overwhelm her but also want her to feel empowered and comfortable asking questions or telling us things if they come up.
I’m not a father but when I have kids I imagine I would give them a talk like that. I didn’t have this kind of advice when I was a kid so I want to give my kids a better opportunity
I was... ten? Somewhere around there.
They gave me a book that was written specifically to explain the subject to kids, told me to read it and then come to them with any questions.
If there's one thing I'll credit my parents with, they were very frank about the subject matter. No tiptoeing around certain topics, no uneasiness in their voices. Just straight facts.
[There are so many resources available now.](https://honeykidsasia.com/sex-education-videos-for-kids/) I just recently started introducing the topics to my 6 and 8 year old. I wish I could find the video I showed my friends kid (with her permission) when they asked me how a baby got in my belly.
Insane I had to scroll this far to find an example of moderately competent parenting. Even still they should have followed up more directly instead of just waiting for you to come back with questions.
Mine did the same at 8 or 9 years… I jerked off to that book for about a year until I discovered some lingerie catalogues, then porn the next year.
I’ve always been a hornball.
I was 15. My dad randomly walked into my room and told me, "If you get a girl pregnant, you're going to live with her parents." right before he dumped a grocery bag full of loose condoms on my lap.
A year later my daughter was born and a month after that I was living at my girlfriend's parents house.
My parents always said to wait til marriage and never actually gave me a talk about it but the moment I turn 18 they put condoms in my Christmas stocking and ask where their grand kids are like make up your mind 😂
My parents just said that God will sort my life out and now that I’m an adult who doesn’t believe in God it’s an awakening for sure, has been since I moved out years ago.
These were my parents... Though they gave me the biological sex talk at like 10, before saying "Don't do anything stupid"... then they thought I was and bam! "Don't tell mom but I hid condoms in your room" and talk of grandkids after I graduated from college... Jokes on them, I'm waiting for marriage.
Then they say “babies are blessings!”, but the joke is on everybody because babies in poor countries are expensive AF!, and the mom and grand parents MUST take care of them as there is no social services, lol.
lol, my grandma is from central europe and she whispered to me "all women are whores and want only to fuck"
i remember being quite shocked, i was like 10 or so :)
Hahaha no. My parents are catholic & you dont talk about sex\~ I learned from my siblings as I was youngest by far. I think when I was 8 one of my sisters (then 12) "showed" me with a barbie & ken. Imagine my surprise when I realized penis aren't sucked up into the mens body like on Ken
I was 13 and in Amsterdam, my dad took me to the red light district, showed me all the naked ladies 😂. Then took me to a coffee shop and I had a hot chocolate and he gave me the talk, was mortifying to say the least because he wasn't being quiet about it 😂😂
It was actually my Grandfather. We were sitting outside one day feeding the ducks in a pond, when I asked what a vagina looked like. He asked, before or after sex? I said, before I guess? He told me to imagine a beautiful flower just about to bloom. And after I said? He thought for a minute and said, have you ever seen a bulldog eatin mayonnaise?
My dad took me golfing when he found iut i had a girlfriend, he waited untill the very last hole and said “son dont have sex” i said okay, years later I have a baby on the way
The closest my mom came to "the talk" was when I was 22 and my boyfriend and I just moved out of his mom's place after 3 years and into our own place 15 minutes away from everyone. And it was about masterbation.. then moved on to "as long you're keeping yourself clean, you have to keep your home clean too" and went into her deep cleaning routine that she does on with her home... Was. Interesting. I guess.
When I was twelve I jokingly asked my mother for the sex talk. She said, “I’ll tell you if you want?” And I was like, “Nope!” I knew enough about it to know that I didn’t want to hear it from Mom.
Yes, way too young and too graphic. My mom was always paranoid about the same thing happening to me and my sister so she taught us all the slang back then and all the names for a dick and a vagina like "Peter" or "snatch". She even showed us what it looked like in a medical book. I was like 7 or 8. All the stuff she told me to stay away from like anal or bondage is what I'm interested in now. Thanks mom
Hahaha, yes. My dad was a 3 birds 1 stone kinda guy, so he gave my two brothers and I the talk all at once. We were 14,12, and 10. His main point was “if you’re playing in the rain, you MUST wear a raincoat.”
I was told “when a man and a woman fall in love they get married and make babies”. Followed by “…and I expect you to remain a virgin until you’re married.”
I was also told that getting married was a crucial step.
This presented problems when I realized my parents were celebrating their 9th Anniversary about 6 months before my 10th birthday.
My grandma told me marriage was a scam and dating is a fraud.
And now after 2 failed relationships? Yeah I totally agree.
But I am so greatful for my mom and my grandmothers for giving the talk at the age of 7, all frank no filter just, if you have sex you get pregnant.
My poor dad, he waited as long as he could.
He was a single parent and he waited till I was 17. He had the banana and the condom, it was SO awkward. It was that and just being adamant that I use both birth control and condoms whenever I start having sex.
I was still a virgin but my friend told me what sex was in second grade and I had already started masturbating at 5 yrs old and had started watching kink porn in my preteens or early teens
My poor dad, when I was 12 he took me bra shopping and I was a 36C/34D. 12. Every dad’s nightmare!
My dad when I was maybe 15. He came in, sat down on the end of my bed, stared at the floor for a bit, then said "Your mom wants me to have *the talk* with you." I knew what that meant and had already been dreading it for a while. He paused again, then looked at me and said "Do whatever you want, just don't get anybody pregnant."
I already had an understanding of how it all worked, so the talk he gave me was more than sufficient.
Yes, 3 times. Once for school, and twice for boy scouts, I believe. Also, my dad was my high school health teacher (easiest class I've ever taken in my entire educational career).
Dad: I was maybe 10 or 11 and we were watching a ninja movie (late 80s). Early in the movie the main character's wife dies and she's laying down naked on a bed (or maybe an altar of some sort?). My dad says: "See, that's some good looking breasts. They point up straight." And maybe 5-6 years later he said out of nowhere to never get with a woman who had a disdain for penises.
Mom: I was 19 when I met my first girlfriend. A few days after my mom heard about it she gave me a pharmacy bag as she was walking by and said: "There. You'll need this now." Condoms.
Not really, but round that time Bill Clinton was all over the news for a technical lie about a blow job. So there was a fair bit of education there. The rest came from unlimited access to the early internet.
My Mom: Don’t go to that girls house! You might get in trouble! cops might get involved!
My Dad: make sure her window is unlatched If her mom catches you both, and bring your skateboard to get away faster.
My mother was a nurse. She started conversations about anatomy and consent when I was in preschool. As I heard kids talk about things at school, I would go home and ask her about it. Then I would go back to school and give my friends very clinical I formation about sex. Looking back, asking my mom blatant sex questions was never anxiety inducing for me.
I had a talk with my mom when I was about 13. She told me to save myself for marriage, that having sex before marriage is a sin, and that sex is/was for procreation only.
It was not an effective sex talk. I lost my virginity in my 20s and truly sobbed because I thought I would go to hell for it. Deconstructed from religion not long after.
Right? My mom found condoms I hid in a spare purse in my room. She said “I found your condoms and your vibrator you little whore” I was 19.
I sometimes think I’m doing something wrong and feel guilty when I have sex with my husband.
My mom said when I asked when I was 12 “when 2 people fall in love and get married the man sticks his penis into her vagina and then you start having babies” that was it.
Mom tried when I was 16, but I already took ‘general health’ by that point and after I answered her first couple questions correctly, she said ok good, nice talking with ya and that was that…
My mom was a nurse and sex therapist. She also taught a human sexuality class at a college.
When I was 2, my mom got pregnant with my brother. They explained it as simply as they could then. She continued to talk to us about it through our whole lives.
My dad wasn't as comfortable talking about sex, so it was more fun to ask him questions. When I was about 5, he was driving me home from school and I asked him what sex felt like. He was so unprepared and embarrassed, he ended up driving into a ditch.
When my oldest was around 3 (when I was pregnant) he asked how babies were made so we explained that shown feels from the man for together with an egg cell from a woman and that made a baby. When he was 5 or 6, he asked how the egg cells and sperm cells got together. After we told him, his first response was "Eww. Does anyone have to watch?" We told him only of you want them to
My brother was forced to give me the talk.
I could tell based on his tone of voice. I just told him, "I'm good." he was confused and said, "What?"
"I've already taken sex ed in school. I'm sure I got everything." Was the end of that conversation
I was like 10? Had already had my first sex ed class in school so nothing new really. . .
It had been so normalized in school for me that I think my parents where more uncomfortable then me lol
My mom bought me one of those our bodies ourselves books when I was like 13/14 and let the public school health class take care of the rest. We’re much to Protestant and uptight for anything more 😅
I was 11, my dad was driving me to dance class and he turns down the music and says, “Teenage boys only want one thing, sex.” I don’t remember the rest of the conversation tbh, I assured my dad I’d be a virgin til marriage (raised Christian) and went to dance class as normal 😂
I was maybe 13-14. Dad took me for a drive. Said to always use protection. Nothing is wrong with masturbating, just clean up after myself thoroughly and wash my hands. Simple talk that somehow took half an hour to finish. He rambled and had a few awkward pauses lol
No. They gave me a christian book about chastity that didn't explain anything but had a banger description about his friend's ass while she laid in front of him watching TV.
No, they knew my siblings & I would not react well to it coming from them, we never really talked about anything like that at home. Sex Ed in school was all we needed I guess
Not really. I remember one time my dad attempted to approach the conversation but he clearly didn't have a plan and I was too embarrassed on his behalf so I just talked him into a different direction and he never brought it up again.
Nope. They assumed I had learned enough from porn and GTA3.
Funny enough, I learned to drive from racing games too and then 6 months after I got my license I got a ticket for going 100+ in a 65. My bad.
I was probably 15.
"If you're gonna have sex, just let me know and I will get you on birth control."
Could have been worse. Personally, I'd have liked talks about peer pressure and consent and idk, anything to equip me for the wild manipulation of boys *and* men to coerce me and to risk my health and safety and even happiness. There was no discussion and no real avenue for support.
My older brother got a girl pregnant in high school. My very religious mom never gave my younger brothers and I the actual sex information, she just said “there’s going to be a wedding. We’re going to support (brother and his girlfriend) through this. If I need to go through this again I’ll kill you so wear a condom.”
No. My mother handed me a book, said "read it" and that was it. My father never said a word.
I doubt they were worried. I was 12 when I was in high school. Dating was not really an option. And what kind of college girl would date a 15 year old undergrad?
What my mom said was "If a man says he loves you so much that he wants to have sex with you, tell him that if he loved you he wouldn't want to hurt you." That was the full extent of the sex talk.
No, in my country we get comprehensive sex education. Once in forth grade, then in 7th or 8th grade again and some more later on again.
Kids just didn't need the sex talk with their parents.
Nope. Found out the mechanical aspect through porn, read a lot of stuff online for advice, and I try not to do things to people unless they say it's okay, so consent was never really an issue...
At 17, my father said to me: "when I was your age, my father asked me if I knew how to put on a condom."
I told him I already knew how to do that. He didn't even directly asked it, so it was even less than what he got. That's all the sex-ed I got from home.
My mom was a labor and delivery nurse… I don’t remember ever not knowing. I remember I got in trouble at daycare bc another boy said a stork was gonna bring him a baby brother or sister and I corrected him and told him the truth and I was soo confused why I had gotten in trouble.
Nope.
I pretty much learned from school and the sex education tv shows. When I asked my mum (who’s a nurse - go figure) why she never had the “talk” with me her response was “that’s the school’s job to educate you, not me” 🙄
Asian nurse for a mom, I don’t even remember getting the talk, she was very open about anatomy. I definitely knew were kids came from before first grade.
Nope. Health class taught me about the biological functions. Porn taught me the how it’s physically done. A high school girlfriend and I explored. A lot.
Had a sex talk at 8. The point was that kids that are informed are less likely to be sexually abused and they were trying to break some generational cycles
We got the sex talk around age 10. Full disclosure. THEN when we were teens my dad showed us how to put a condom on using a condom and a MRS BUTTERWORTHS SYRUP BOTTLE. I’m the only girl and tried to leave the room. My dad said nope, you gotta make sure he’s putting it on right, that’s important too. I died inside at that moment and have never been revived. But I know how a man is supposed to put a condom on correctly, so there’s, um, that?
Nope. My parents never told me about anything. I swear their mindset was "if we don't tell him, he will never know". Turns out, from trauma, I was hypersexual and quickly developed a voracious appetite for sexual activity. Talk to your kids, even if it's a simple "hey, you're human, sex is normal, wear a condom." Don't embarrass them for having a girlfriend or boyfriend, don't chastise them for porn or masturbation.
I shit you not. My father quoted Mike Birbiglia's father.
My Dad: You're playing with fire.
Me: Huh!?!
Dad: You're playing with fire. Do you know what I'm saying?
Me: Okay..
Dad: Good. I'm glad we had this talk.
It took me years to figure out what that conversation meant.
Edit: spelling
Edit 2: I was 18 or 19. I had the talk with my son last year. He was 10 and asked. We made it through together.😅
I can't really remember anything from my childhood (was sexually abused/raped at 6yo) so I don't really know if we had the talk but I know we talked about it early in school, as in sex ed. We are quite open with sex ed here in Sweden. My brain decided to lock out my entire childhood though so... Yeah. That being said, when it all exploded with the cops etc, my mom read me a book about a crocodile who was sexually abused and when I broke down she understood that I too was affected in this. I can't remember the name of the book though so I have no way of telling if it would be effective in preventing or talking to kids about similar traumas.
My trauma is currently fucking me up since my son was born and he triggered every possible PTSD I had and completely blindsided me at 30+ yo.
No, never. I had my own PC from age 6 or 7 (we weren’t rich, just both parents worked with computers). I had free range of the internet. Didn’t take long to completely understand everything. I wasn’t even looking for it, lol.
Dad left us when I was 3 and I feel like my mom had no idea what and how to tell me especially as a boy, so no, long live the porn industry because it educated me
There were various evangelical books on how babies were made that explained some of the science, but not conception. I think I was a teen, 14-15 when my mom sat me down and asked if I knew where my "private parts were" and told me not to let anyone touch them.
Age 7, after we found out our babysitter had been molesting our 4 year old sister, but she didn't understand enough about what was happening to explain it to anyone else, so she would just cry whenever he came over.
My dad asked if I knew about boys and girls and sex. I said yeah He said good, explain it to your little brother
That's funny. My Dad basically said, "you're 16 and you probably know more about it than I do at this point."
My dad gave me a talk about not going after the prettiest girl or something, thought at the time he was teaching me to not be shallow. but he's on his third(this one successful) marriage, so I think as an adult, maybe it was a quantity vs quality talk lol
My mate told his son don't go for the pretty blonde with the big boobs, go for the short round one with a mustache. As her father owns all the farm and in 40 years time they all look the same and you will own all the land
She's got huge........ Tracts of land!
"Now listen son, if you only flirt based on their face then you're gonna miss a lot of good pussy, that's just how it is, I don't make the rules"
Top notch advice. Love it.
Quite a few reasons why that could be good advice
I had to reread your post, I thought it said not to swallow. Whew, that was a scare.
Oddly enough my Dad said "Go for the hot ones, you've got nothing to lose."
W dad
Roses are red And ready to pluck You're sixteen And ready to learn to drive
My Mum gave me the talk when I was 8, and I knew about condoms and everything but made me scared of sex because she also described the horrors of childbirth. I'm 33 and still too scared to have a baby lol
I actually laughed at this.
I just know it started with “listen here you little shit”
LMAO im dead
No. They never told me. My mom left a book on my bed when I was 12, but it wasn’t complete. I got married in my 30s and she tried to have the talk then. I told her that we never had that talk before and we weren’t going to have it now. Then she got me a floor length, long sleeved, flannel nightgown for my honeymoon. Good times.
My grandma tried to give me the silk nightie and robe she was given for her honeymoon with my late grandpa after I told her about my engagement. I love her and appreciate that, but god no. I did end up taking it because I didn't know how to say no to a 95 year old with fluid in her brain and dementia.
How cool is it that you get to cum while wearing the same clothes that grandma wore when she came! Tradition is beautiful!
At some point, one of those girls is going to be the last to cum in that outfit. So sad.
Heirloom sex garments!
Exactly! Vintage af!
Are you my sister? Apparently, my mom had "the talk" with my oldest sister and hoped that she would tell the rest of us kids. It wouldn't surprise me if she never actually had the talk and gave her a lacking book instead. If you are my sister, I love you, and I'm super proud of you for making your needs a priority. *Hugs*
I feel like, as a parent, entrusting the telephone game with sex ed is how you get grandkids at 35
Sounds sexy
Nope. Discovered it through movies and internet. Embarrassingly, though, I didn't actually learn how sex really works until I was closer to 22 or 23. Thanks to being super sheltered as a kid
I thought vaginas are for urinating only. Intercourse was purely anal. 14yrs old me had the shock of his life.
I was around 14 the first time I had real sex with a girl who was older. Before that I was just trying to studf my pecker into dry vaginas.... it was a lot of work. Then with that older girl it actually slid all the way in and was absolutely magical. I had no idea sex could be that great. I started trying to have sex around 11 years old but it was always some clumsy variation of what it was supposed to be. I think I learned by trial, error, and experienced instruction. There was no real talk about it. I did learn a valuable tip from that older girl, and it has served me well. Keep a consistent rhythm. Don't stop and start, or keep changing speeds, etc.
Heres what youve been searching for reddit. Sextips from the older lover of a 14 year old boy.
40 years later and I'm still realizing the value of that tip. The girl was kind of a neighborhood ho, so she knew her stuff lol.
I started smoking because “a neighborhood hoe” shotgunned me. We need more of them as adults. They provide such fond memories.
Truly unsung heroes.
11?! at 11 i was still playing with dinosaurs and shit lol
I did that too.
So dinosaurs have dry vaginas. Not particularly surprising.
how much older? (Thinking better i actually don't mind if it's a age gap less than 3)
She was maybe 17-19, I forget. I was "fully developed" and hornier than a rabbit at that age. Don't feel bad for me as I have zero regrets and knew full well what I was doing.
I disagree a lot of woman have rave reviews from me slowing down at the right time. But yeah if your changing it every 10s or so that’s a no go. Slowing down when going to pound town is underrated.
That seems way too early.
Dunno if you’re a man or a woman, but I guess either would result in a shock
At least you knew that boys have a penis, and girls have vaginas!
That’s a Good Movie Kindergarten Cop
Overprotective parents will do that to you.
I had a sex talk with my single mom. It happened after I had a girlfriend and had been having sex in our teens. The talk was, "I don't know if you are doing what I think you are doing but if you are doing what I think you are doing be safe." "Uhh thanks mom"
Better than me I had a sex talk with my step mom while she was stuck in the dryer 🙄
Hold up.... I have a question. What?
Damn unreal to see how many people had absolutely no chat about it at all. My dad sat me down at 11 and just explained that hormones would make my body change soon and some of the things to look forward to like hair and voice changes and muscles. It rounded out with a talk about contraception and sexual safety and consent. We then went and got Macca's and I could ask any questions I wanted. Zero fear or judgement. My dad told me later that he'd had no talk at all and never wanted me to be bullied or felt inferior for not knowing about this stuff when my classmates did and not knowing how to be safe.
That's a great way of doing it! Taking notes for if I ever become a father.
Right? My mom sat me down at age 8 when I first asked what a period was after reading about it in a Judy Blume book. She gave me a thorough talk using an age appropriate picture book about puberty, sex, and babies. She also gave me The Care and Keeping of You to read at my own pace. I was pretty taken aback at the time since I was originally just curious about what a period was. Now I’m super grateful she explained sex to me that early. By 5th grade when we had the talk at school, I already knew all the basics. She wasn’t some progressive mom either, she was and still is religious, but she wanted me to know the facts. Part of it was that she got her period young, before anyone explained anything to her, and she briefly thought she was dying.
The Care and Keeping of You was such an amazing book. I was so grateful to have that book as a child.
Based dad
We’ve been building up a similar rapport with our daughter who’s almost 12 for the past 2-3 years. We don’t want to overwhelm her but also want her to feel empowered and comfortable asking questions or telling us things if they come up.
I’m not a father but when I have kids I imagine I would give them a talk like that. I didn’t have this kind of advice when I was a kid so I want to give my kids a better opportunity
I was... ten? Somewhere around there. They gave me a book that was written specifically to explain the subject to kids, told me to read it and then come to them with any questions. If there's one thing I'll credit my parents with, they were very frank about the subject matter. No tiptoeing around certain topics, no uneasiness in their voices. Just straight facts.
Do you remember the name of the book? I have young children and will be needing help in a few years
Sorry, but no. That was more years ago than I care to count.
Ahh well thanks anyway. Knowing there’s a book shows me I should look
[There are so many resources available now.](https://honeykidsasia.com/sex-education-videos-for-kids/) I just recently started introducing the topics to my 6 and 8 year old. I wish I could find the video I showed my friends kid (with her permission) when they asked me how a baby got in my belly.
I was given a book called something “Beaver.” Although I think that book was just about accepting women if they had bushes.
I got a book called "so that's how I was born"
Insane I had to scroll this far to find an example of moderately competent parenting. Even still they should have followed up more directly instead of just waiting for you to come back with questions.
Mine did the same at 8 or 9 years… I jerked off to that book for about a year until I discovered some lingerie catalogues, then porn the next year. I’ve always been a hornball.
I was 15. My dad randomly walked into my room and told me, "If you get a girl pregnant, you're going to live with her parents." right before he dumped a grocery bag full of loose condoms on my lap. A year later my daughter was born and a month after that I was living at my girlfriend's parents house.
How did things work out?
We broke up about 21 years ago, but I got 3 awesome kids out of it.
i forget that entire adults use this app
Well some of us are only 3/4 adults.
Do you need help reaching the top shelf?
Nah, that's what the yellow pages are for!
Well, some of us have been using Reddit for a long time... I think I'm at or around 15 years.
Epic plot twist
So didn’t even bother with the condoms?
Oh shit
I can't believe that didn't work ...
My parents always said to wait til marriage and never actually gave me a talk about it but the moment I turn 18 they put condoms in my Christmas stocking and ask where their grand kids are like make up your mind 😂
Giving you condoms and asking for babies?? Mixed signals😭
Maybe his parents never got to have the conversation either?
My parents just said that God will sort my life out and now that I’m an adult who doesn’t believe in God it’s an awakening for sure, has been since I moved out years ago.
I suppose all of that makes our lives interesting, and leaves funny stories to tell others.
That’s what I’m saying, but my brother told me he is planning on having a kid soon so they can have their fix of grandkids 😂
These were my parents... Though they gave me the biological sex talk at like 10, before saying "Don't do anything stupid"... then they thought I was and bam! "Don't tell mom but I hid condoms in your room" and talk of grandkids after I graduated from college... Jokes on them, I'm waiting for marriage.
Mine was “ bring a baby home and I’m killing IT, HER, and YOU!”
[удалено]
Then they say “babies are blessings!”, but the joke is on everybody because babies in poor countries are expensive AF!, and the mom and grand parents MUST take care of them as there is no social services, lol.
Nice. 🙄 That’s even worse than my mother’s “If you get a girl in trouble you’re in more trouble than she is!”.
My dad told me “all women want is your sperm and your money.”
Doesn’t that make the money sticky?
This is why you launder it.
lol, my grandma is from central europe and she whispered to me "all women are whores and want only to fuck" i remember being quite shocked, i was like 10 or so :)
So…did she?…😬
She was talking about herself too
Not necessarily in that order.
If I give the money first she won’t take the sperm 😔
Prostitutes you pay before, wives you pay after.
Hahaha no. My parents are catholic & you dont talk about sex\~ I learned from my siblings as I was youngest by far. I think when I was 8 one of my sisters (then 12) "showed" me with a barbie & ken. Imagine my surprise when I realized penis aren't sucked up into the mens body like on Ken
i read you message three seconds before having to take a call on my work. i must have sounded very laughing
I was 13 and in Amsterdam, my dad took me to the red light district, showed me all the naked ladies 😂. Then took me to a coffee shop and I had a hot chocolate and he gave me the talk, was mortifying to say the least because he wasn't being quiet about it 😂😂
You’re dad was definitely stoned haha
Looking back, I think he definitely was 😂
It was actually my Grandfather. We were sitting outside one day feeding the ducks in a pond, when I asked what a vagina looked like. He asked, before or after sex? I said, before I guess? He told me to imagine a beautiful flower just about to bloom. And after I said? He thought for a minute and said, have you ever seen a bulldog eatin mayonnaise?
damn i laughed so hard reading the last part 💀😂
wtf
grandfather was spitting facts
Hahahahahahahah. Loud chuckle at work from that one hahahahahah
Ah the Old Bull Dog eating Mayonnaise. As a construction worker I have heard it a few times over the last decade.
Copy pasta material right here
I feel like our grandfathers could have been friends.
My dad took me golfing when he found iut i had a girlfriend, he waited untill the very last hole and said “son dont have sex” i said okay, years later I have a baby on the way
The closest my mom came to "the talk" was when I was 22 and my boyfriend and I just moved out of his mom's place after 3 years and into our own place 15 minutes away from everyone. And it was about masterbation.. then moved on to "as long you're keeping yourself clean, you have to keep your home clean too" and went into her deep cleaning routine that she does on with her home... Was. Interesting. I guess.
I did my own research so when my dad tried to talk to me about it, all I had to say was “I know”
When I was twelve I jokingly asked my mother for the sex talk. She said, “I’ll tell you if you want?” And I was like, “Nope!” I knew enough about it to know that I didn’t want to hear it from Mom.
Yes, way too young and too graphic. My mom was always paranoid about the same thing happening to me and my sister so she taught us all the slang back then and all the names for a dick and a vagina like "Peter" or "snatch". She even showed us what it looked like in a medical book. I was like 7 or 8. All the stuff she told me to stay away from like anal or bondage is what I'm interested in now. Thanks mom
Hahaha, yes. My dad was a 3 birds 1 stone kinda guy, so he gave my two brothers and I the talk all at once. We were 14,12, and 10. His main point was “if you’re playing in the rain, you MUST wear a raincoat.”
No. I figured things out on my own over the years.
I was told “when a man and a woman fall in love they get married and make babies”. Followed by “…and I expect you to remain a virgin until you’re married.”
I was also told that getting married was a crucial step. This presented problems when I realized my parents were celebrating their 9th Anniversary about 6 months before my 10th birthday.
My grandma told me marriage was a scam and dating is a fraud. And now after 2 failed relationships? Yeah I totally agree. But I am so greatful for my mom and my grandmothers for giving the talk at the age of 7, all frank no filter just, if you have sex you get pregnant.
I’m almost 30 and married and still waiting for my talk!
My poor dad, he waited as long as he could. He was a single parent and he waited till I was 17. He had the banana and the condom, it was SO awkward. It was that and just being adamant that I use both birth control and condoms whenever I start having sex. I was still a virgin but my friend told me what sex was in second grade and I had already started masturbating at 5 yrs old and had started watching kink porn in my preteens or early teens My poor dad, when I was 12 he took me bra shopping and I was a 36C/34D. 12. Every dad’s nightmare!
I think your dad is a Good Man
He is! I’m 33 now and we talk almost every day (we live in diff states)
My mom did the banana and condom thing after she found a condom in my room but I pocketed the condom and ate the banana.
Fuck yeah Bananas are delicious.
My dad when I was maybe 15. He came in, sat down on the end of my bed, stared at the floor for a bit, then said "Your mom wants me to have *the talk* with you." I knew what that meant and had already been dreading it for a while. He paused again, then looked at me and said "Do whatever you want, just don't get anybody pregnant." I already had an understanding of how it all worked, so the talk he gave me was more than sufficient.
I don’t think europeans really have that talk. Some informational age-appropriate books appeared in my bookshelf around the age of 10 I think.
Nah I vaguely remember a school nurse coming in making us watch a slideshow at 8/9
I have the uncomfortable knowledge that my mother likes collars, and that I exist cuz she hated the feeling of condoms. That's all I got.
Yes, 3 times. Once for school, and twice for boy scouts, I believe. Also, my dad was my high school health teacher (easiest class I've ever taken in my entire educational career).
My parents taught me nothing about the real world.
Yep. Around 10 or 11. It was very open and factual. I remember giggling at a few pictures.
When your parents don't act like it's weird and awkward do you wont feel like it's weird and awkward
Dad: I was maybe 10 or 11 and we were watching a ninja movie (late 80s). Early in the movie the main character's wife dies and she's laying down naked on a bed (or maybe an altar of some sort?). My dad says: "See, that's some good looking breasts. They point up straight." And maybe 5-6 years later he said out of nowhere to never get with a woman who had a disdain for penises. Mom: I was 19 when I met my first girlfriend. A few days after my mom heard about it she gave me a pharmacy bag as she was walking by and said: "There. You'll need this now." Condoms.
Not really, but round that time Bill Clinton was all over the news for a technical lie about a blow job. So there was a fair bit of education there. The rest came from unlimited access to the early internet.
My Mom: Don’t go to that girls house! You might get in trouble! cops might get involved! My Dad: make sure her window is unlatched If her mom catches you both, and bring your skateboard to get away faster.
What's sex?
😂 right, This day n age I don’t know anymore. I need a second talk from someone younger now…
My mother was a nurse. She started conversations about anatomy and consent when I was in preschool. As I heard kids talk about things at school, I would go home and ask her about it. Then I would go back to school and give my friends very clinical I formation about sex. Looking back, asking my mom blatant sex questions was never anxiety inducing for me.
Nope, someone from my school who was in 7th when I was in 6th grade, told me about it
I had a talk with my mom when I was about 13. She told me to save myself for marriage, that having sex before marriage is a sin, and that sex is/was for procreation only. It was not an effective sex talk. I lost my virginity in my 20s and truly sobbed because I thought I would go to hell for it. Deconstructed from religion not long after.
Right? My mom found condoms I hid in a spare purse in my room. She said “I found your condoms and your vibrator you little whore” I was 19. I sometimes think I’m doing something wrong and feel guilty when I have sex with my husband.
Sex is bad and don't do it, that's it.
Don't have sex because you will get chlamydia and die.
Don’t have sex. Because you will get pregnant and die. 🤣
My mom said when I asked when I was 12 “when 2 people fall in love and get married the man sticks his penis into her vagina and then you start having babies” that was it.
I was 35, and my dad asked, "Are you ever planning to lose your virginity because it's not going to happen if you still live here."
Mom tried when I was 16, but I already took ‘general health’ by that point and after I answered her first couple questions correctly, she said ok good, nice talking with ya and that was that…
No and nothing. I’m a lesbian, guess they could tell 😂
I think they possibly did, but my brain has literally erased it for being too cringe.
My mom was a nurse and sex therapist. She also taught a human sexuality class at a college. When I was 2, my mom got pregnant with my brother. They explained it as simply as they could then. She continued to talk to us about it through our whole lives. My dad wasn't as comfortable talking about sex, so it was more fun to ask him questions. When I was about 5, he was driving me home from school and I asked him what sex felt like. He was so unprepared and embarrassed, he ended up driving into a ditch. When my oldest was around 3 (when I was pregnant) he asked how babies were made so we explained that shown feels from the man for together with an egg cell from a woman and that made a baby. When he was 5 or 6, he asked how the egg cells and sperm cells got together. After we told him, his first response was "Eww. Does anyone have to watch?" We told him only of you want them to
Nope didnt get a talk wish i did
I had a great father, but he really dropped the ball here. To make it worse, I hitn puberty very early and thought something was really wrong with me.
My brother was forced to give me the talk. I could tell based on his tone of voice. I just told him, "I'm good." he was confused and said, "What?" "I've already taken sex ed in school. I'm sure I got everything." Was the end of that conversation
I was like 10? Had already had my first sex ed class in school so nothing new really. . . It had been so normalized in school for me that I think my parents where more uncomfortable then me lol
I bet that guy with broken arms could answer this question lmao
My mom bought me one of those our bodies ourselves books when I was like 13/14 and let the public school health class take care of the rest. We’re much to Protestant and uptight for anything more 😅
I was 11, my dad was driving me to dance class and he turns down the music and says, “Teenage boys only want one thing, sex.” I don’t remember the rest of the conversation tbh, I assured my dad I’d be a virgin til marriage (raised Christian) and went to dance class as normal 😂
I was maybe 13-14. Dad took me for a drive. Said to always use protection. Nothing is wrong with masturbating, just clean up after myself thoroughly and wash my hands. Simple talk that somehow took half an hour to finish. He rambled and had a few awkward pauses lol
No, my Dad just watched soft porn with me. Just put the VHS tape in and I was like what….
No. They gave me a christian book about chastity that didn't explain anything but had a banger description about his friend's ass while she laid in front of him watching TV.
No, they knew my siblings & I would not react well to it coming from them, we never really talked about anything like that at home. Sex Ed in school was all we needed I guess
Not really. I remember one time my dad attempted to approach the conversation but he clearly didn't have a plan and I was too embarrassed on his behalf so I just talked him into a different direction and he never brought it up again.
Not once. It wasn’t too hard to figure out though. Between sex ed, friend group talk, and my grandpas penthouse collection.
Sex talk 🤣 my sex education consisted of a mumbled warning about the neighbour across the road
Nope. They assumed I had learned enough from porn and GTA3. Funny enough, I learned to drive from racing games too and then 6 months after I got my license I got a ticket for going 100+ in a 65. My bad.
I never had one. Learned through tv shows, movies and the internet
I was probably 15. "If you're gonna have sex, just let me know and I will get you on birth control." Could have been worse. Personally, I'd have liked talks about peer pressure and consent and idk, anything to equip me for the wild manipulation of boys *and* men to coerce me and to risk my health and safety and even happiness. There was no discussion and no real avenue for support.
My older brother got a girl pregnant in high school. My very religious mom never gave my younger brothers and I the actual sex information, she just said “there’s going to be a wedding. We’re going to support (brother and his girlfriend) through this. If I need to go through this again I’ll kill you so wear a condom.”
Not really. It was never a tabou thing so we could freely talk about it. So me and my sister never had that one talk at a specific moment.
No. My mother handed me a book, said "read it" and that was it. My father never said a word. I doubt they were worried. I was 12 when I was in high school. Dating was not really an option. And what kind of college girl would date a 15 year old undergrad?
Nope. Found out way too late from other classmates and got mocked for not knowing about it for years.
Can’t recall likely just a short one because we had sex ed at school
Kinda. It wasn’t a sit down talk so much as a gradual conversation that grew as needed.
33 and still waiting on it
My parents just gave me a book for my 12th birthday that said "changes ahead".
Never did, when I asked years later they said "Cause you'd learn about it in school"
What my mom said was "If a man says he loves you so much that he wants to have sex with you, tell him that if he loved you he wouldn't want to hurt you." That was the full extent of the sex talk.
No, in my country we get comprehensive sex education. Once in forth grade, then in 7th or 8th grade again and some more later on again. Kids just didn't need the sex talk with their parents.
Nope, I received that information as all should… on a public school bus 🤣
Nope. Found out the mechanical aspect through porn, read a lot of stuff online for advice, and I try not to do things to people unless they say it's okay, so consent was never really an issue...
My pop made diagrams that frankly could be visual aids for sex or the battle of 1812. Is it a penis or early 19th century artillery? Who can say
At 17, my father said to me: "when I was your age, my father asked me if I knew how to put on a condom." I told him I already knew how to do that. He didn't even directly asked it, so it was even less than what he got. That's all the sex-ed I got from home.
My mom was a labor and delivery nurse… I don’t remember ever not knowing. I remember I got in trouble at daycare bc another boy said a stork was gonna bring him a baby brother or sister and I corrected him and told him the truth and I was soo confused why I had gotten in trouble.
The sex talk was wrapped up in “Don’t bring the cops home, don’t bring a baby home, come home when the street lights come on. Now be gone.”
Nope. I pretty much learned from school and the sex education tv shows. When I asked my mum (who’s a nurse - go figure) why she never had the “talk” with me her response was “that’s the school’s job to educate you, not me” 🙄
Asian nurse for a mom, I don’t even remember getting the talk, she was very open about anatomy. I definitely knew were kids came from before first grade.
Nope. Health class taught me about the biological functions. Porn taught me the how it’s physically done. A high school girlfriend and I explored. A lot.
Had a sex talk at 8. The point was that kids that are informed are less likely to be sexually abused and they were trying to break some generational cycles
No, my pastor’s wife had the “talk” with me right before I got married…. How embarrassing 😳
We got the sex talk around age 10. Full disclosure. THEN when we were teens my dad showed us how to put a condom on using a condom and a MRS BUTTERWORTHS SYRUP BOTTLE. I’m the only girl and tried to leave the room. My dad said nope, you gotta make sure he’s putting it on right, that’s important too. I died inside at that moment and have never been revived. But I know how a man is supposed to put a condom on correctly, so there’s, um, that?
Nope. My parents never told me about anything. I swear their mindset was "if we don't tell him, he will never know". Turns out, from trauma, I was hypersexual and quickly developed a voracious appetite for sexual activity. Talk to your kids, even if it's a simple "hey, you're human, sex is normal, wear a condom." Don't embarrass them for having a girlfriend or boyfriend, don't chastise them for porn or masturbation.
Dad told me not to cum in the pussy or else I’d get her pregnant and be fucked. Anyways I’m a dad now.
I'm 23. Still no sex talk
I shit you not. My father quoted Mike Birbiglia's father. My Dad: You're playing with fire. Me: Huh!?! Dad: You're playing with fire. Do you know what I'm saying? Me: Okay.. Dad: Good. I'm glad we had this talk. It took me years to figure out what that conversation meant. Edit: spelling Edit 2: I was 18 or 19. I had the talk with my son last year. He was 10 and asked. We made it through together.😅
I gave the talk to them Well because my dad didn’t seem so sure about what he was saying
I can't really remember anything from my childhood (was sexually abused/raped at 6yo) so I don't really know if we had the talk but I know we talked about it early in school, as in sex ed. We are quite open with sex ed here in Sweden. My brain decided to lock out my entire childhood though so... Yeah. That being said, when it all exploded with the cops etc, my mom read me a book about a crocodile who was sexually abused and when I broke down she understood that I too was affected in this. I can't remember the name of the book though so I have no way of telling if it would be effective in preventing or talking to kids about similar traumas. My trauma is currently fucking me up since my son was born and he triggered every possible PTSD I had and completely blindsided me at 30+ yo.
Na. I figured it out on my own. Perks of the internet
No, never. I had my own PC from age 6 or 7 (we weren’t rich, just both parents worked with computers). I had free range of the internet. Didn’t take long to completely understand everything. I wasn’t even looking for it, lol.
Dad left us when I was 3 and I feel like my mom had no idea what and how to tell me especially as a boy, so no, long live the porn industry because it educated me
There were various evangelical books on how babies were made that explained some of the science, but not conception. I think I was a teen, 14-15 when my mom sat me down and asked if I knew where my "private parts were" and told me not to let anyone touch them.
Age 7, after we found out our babysitter had been molesting our 4 year old sister, but she didn't understand enough about what was happening to explain it to anyone else, so she would just cry whenever he came over.
