How did you learn about the birds and the bees?
Growing up I had a great group of friends
minus the fact that in 3rd grade
"it" = "sex"
And, clearly, there is nothing at all
more funny, then
a friend with IT as their initials.

My friend's mom gave me the talk. Then when my parents called her to get advice on what to say, she informed them she had already told me. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo, my mom explained that a baby is made by a female's egg and a male's sperm. However, she left out the part about how they actually get together. She said it was something only "adults" do. I figured, "Well, Mom drinks a lot of wine, and wine is only for adults, so the sperm must be in the wine." God, I'm so smart. I think I was in kindergarten. Or around the time my mom informed me that I was about to get a new brother. When I actually found out the truth, I was horrified.
ReplyDeleteI learned from friends and in more detail from a friend's mom. Her lesson was complete with condom/banana demonstration! haha!
ReplyDeleteI never actually got THE talk. I always wanted a sister and my mom would always say, "we can't afford one"...for the longest time I thought you bought babies at the store...seriously. That was after my theory that they came out of a bakery...darn those nursery rhymes. When I finally knew, I don't know, I guess I just did.
ReplyDeleteHaha... I love the little comic! I learned from my cousin, she told me when I was so young and none of it ever made sense until I got a little older!
ReplyDeleteDude, my Mom totally made us watch a sex ed cartoon in which there was some stick figure under the covers humpin'. Classic.
ReplyDeleteNever got the talk. My parents avoided it probably because they couldn't agree on who was going to give it. But I learned it from my much older friends. And very inappropriately I might add.
ReplyDeleteI never had one of those mom or dad talks... I think I just got the idea from friends... I am not sure if I will be able to have one of those talks with my own!! one day, anyway! xxxoo
ReplyDeleteHA! yea i remember when "doing it" meant the nasty. i now prefer "bumping uglies". lol. gosh i can't even remember how i learned. i think i was born knowing how the world works. i'm just that cool. well not really...
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAH!!!! um, my cousin was over for a sleep over. she and i were both about seven, and my younger sister was six. we built a fort, and when it was time to go to bed she said, "do you know what MY MOM told me?!??!!?". and it went from there. my sister and i were shocked and we listened very intently. and when my cousin was getting to the JUICY stuff, we heard my mom at the door and she said "GIRLS, GO TO SLEEP. NOW!" methinks she was furious.
ReplyDeleteSo funny! I learned about sex in the 5th grade... All the 6th grade girls would round us up at recess and teach us about the birds and the bees... I'm sure I got some misinformation!
ReplyDeletexoxox,
CC
My older cousin explained the bases to me in the back row of our family caravan on a trip to Philly to visit my great grandpa. I was never the same...
ReplyDeleteI was almost 4 and my mom was pregnant with my middle brother. I wanted to know how he got in her tummy. She told me, using anatomically correct terms. I was just curious, not freaked out or anything. I then proceeded to explain it to everyone at pre-school, using the terms: penis, vagina, uterus, sperm, ova, and ejaculation. I am sure I made my parents proud that day.
ReplyDeleteSex was never a taboo subject growing up, it is part of life and my parents always felt it was important my brothers and I were all properly informed and didn't learn the "truth" from friends who had no idea what they were talking about!
On a side note (because this comment isn't long enough already) my youngest brother brought his girlfriend to dinner one night (he's 18, she's 17). And someone said something about a urethra. We were all shocked that she didn't know what a urethra was. That is the kind of household I grew up in, we knew all the correct names for all the body parts.
i don't remember how i learned about it...probably school mates. sex ed definitely helped too.
ReplyDeleteThis conversation for some reason or another...ALWAYS comes up in THE car! Maybe that's my kids comfortable place :) I tell them that babies come from mommies tummies & then the doctor takes them out. Oh boy...the questions that come from that. How does the doctor take them out mommy? Does it hurt? Is there a baby in your tummy now? {ENDLESS} ...I think it's hillarious and at least i tell the truth. Great post girly ♥
ReplyDeleteI don't remember how I learned about "IT"....
ReplyDeleteI learned from friends who had older siblings that gave them all of the gory details!
ReplyDeleteMy parents def never gave me the talk! Thank God! :)
i want to say my cousin explained everything to me a young age! he was younger than me tho! ha!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, my sex education came in the form of two older brothers and the movie The Bear.
ReplyDeleteI had a strange childhood.
I had to sit down and talk with my mom. I think I was 9? I was in the 4th grade. One of the girls in my class got her period that year and I went home and asked my mom about it and she gave me a book and sat me down and talked about it.
ReplyDeleteI got vague descriptions here or there from friends and sex ed classes. My parents wouldn't talk about it with me. But honestly, the way i learned the real details were through books: Judy Blume books and romance novels. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI hated getting the talk...thought is was sooo STRANGE!
ReplyDeleteI dont remember my "talk" I just new that once I started to be "exposed" if you will that if I did "it" and got preggers I would be dead! lol SO I waited! =D Apparently No talk was better than "the" talk.
ReplyDeleteMy mom and I played a board game called "humanopoly." Enough said.
ReplyDeleteOlder friends ----> Nasty Stories ----> Translation of swear words (from at least 3 different languages) ----> Porn. Who could possibly ask for more?
ReplyDeleteYes, I am disturbed.
hahahah ohh my gosh this is great. i dont even remember.. i do remember my friends explaining what a bj was and i cried and ran out of the room!! lol i was disgusted at the thought of any of that!!
ReplyDeletefun post,
ReplyDeleteI watched family dogs doing IT...well, I think that's how I first found out! hee*
yeah i have 4 older brothers...i'm pretty sure they broke the news to me straight outta the womb! those pervs!
ReplyDeletelol! but first I want to thank you for your really super sweet comment. It was really really kind and heartfelt so thank you.
ReplyDeleteOkay ...I learned about sex a couple of different ways I think. I have one memory of being at a friend's house and she took me in the bathroom and showed me a stash of PlayGIRL magazines ...which I'm guess were her mom's? ...another is from the 5th grade where we watched a video with the girl who played Annie who taught us about our periods ..how funny!
I am still learning hahahaha! x
ReplyDeleteI never got the sex talk with my parents. I guess I learned from other friends at school. Sex Ed helped some. I get a little freaked out because I know my daughter is getting close to her pre-teens and I know I am going to have to talk to her about it. We just discussed periods the other day. Man I feel old...lol
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure my parents talked to me first, but I think I blocked it out :)
ReplyDeleteMy Mom never had "the talk" with me, her eldest. The closest she got to acknowledging sex ed was signing the little waiver form to allow my teachers to administer the course in junior high...
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, I dont think my mom ever had the 'tslk' with me..hmm...i dont remember.
ReplyDeletemy mom gave me "are you there god? it's me, margaret"
ReplyDeleteto be honest, i was more confused about it than before. it's too old fashioned... the talk about having to wear belts with pads and goodness, i was lost. someone should re-write and update.
i remember my 6th grade teacher making us read about reproduction... out loud. the most popular girl in the class had to read the part about erections and inserting things into places.
poor girl.
I don't remember the actual talk, but I do remember that me and my sisters told all the neighboor kids and one of their mom's freaked and we weren't allowed to play together anymore.
