Hahahahaha. African American edition.

My mom used to attempt to talk to me, I think around 5th or 6th grade. She started trying to explain menstrual cycles, and I never let her get to sex because I was mortified at her explaining anatomy even for women. I was really, really stubborn about it. So, she got me a couple of books, and I read them on my own.

I really didn't understand a lot of specifics about the male anatomy until I began "experimenting." But I never, ever felt comfortable talking to my parents about sex. My freshman year of college, I decided to be responsible and get on the pill. I'd asked to before just to be prepared, even when I was a virgin, but was met with a negative response. So, I went to the school clinic and got a prescription myself. I was 17 and under my dad's insurance, so I had to tell my parents about it. I'll never forget my father telling me that I was essentially a ****e for getting on the pill. I think he phrased it similar to: "You'd always talk about how many hoes/****s were in your high school, and now you're acting like them."

Mind you, I never slept around. I was just trying to be responsible and safe.

The moral of the story is, when you tell your kids about sex, also start mentally preparing yourself for the fact that they WILL eventually have it. Don't teach about sex as if it is a negative or dirty thing. The more open you are, the more your kids will trust you and come to you for help.

My daughter is about to turn 8 next month and so far me and the missus have not discussed with her where babies come from.

Originally i told my children they were mail order from Japan, it started as a joke until they sort of understood what it meant.

Now my oldest believes you ask God for a baby then he gives you one in your belly.

My question is when did you learn where babys came from (and how they got there). I want my children to hear from their parents about that sort of stuff, so if they have questions they can come to us and ask instead of finding out random info from school friends.

I'm too lazy to read through the read. Let school do it. Sex Ed is educational , at least that's how I learned about it.

Also, Porn might help?

That's sad, ATP. At least your parents taught you to be smart and responsible. That's about how much I can say about my parents too.

I learned about sex through books. I was a science nerd. And I still don't talk about it with my parents, although my mom knows since she was with me for a medical procedure and they asked if A) I was on BC and B) Since I wasn't, was I positive I wasn't pregnant. Probably one of the more awkward ways for my mom to find out, but jeez when she was my age she was already pregnant with me so there shouldn't be any complaining from her!

So yeah, even if you're too uncomfortable in talking about it, at least teach them to be smart and responsible.

Lag sucks.

 

[Gamma Ray]

No the baby comes out of the stomach 9 months later.

How does it survive in the stomach for so long? Wouldn't it be digested?

 

[B.A. Baracus]

well, my dad said..."Son, here's a book."

"If you have any questions you may ask them."

I don't know how young I was but my sister and I have just always seem to have known. No secrets you know.

Then again, I did have a bit of trouble understanding what an orgasm is.

Lol, awesome book, because black people have sex in a different way?

I'm definitely not telling my 8 year old about orgasms.

LOL! That's what I was thinkin'! Why is it black version, do we have sex different or are the pictures just different. Like the size of the...nevermind

 

[Harry_Lime02]

I did have the talk, but I already knew about it by then. I think I picked it up from television and playground rumours.

 

[Scourge2099]

That's where kids think babies come from. Let's not get all technical.

 

[Silvermoth]

Omigosh, I didn't see that yellow label when I posted that! I'm so sorry! I hope I didn't offend anyone! I thought it was all the same story!

 

[B.A. Baracus]

The yellow label is what makes it so much cooler. I just want to know whats different on the inside apart from different skin.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

I never got the talk, just picked it up from talking to friends as a kid, then slowly discovering late tv, internet and magazines.

 

[Lord Valumart]

I learned from school. I assumed that my dad would tell me but at no point has he ever tried to talk to me about it. My mum tried to talk to me once but I ran away when she mentioned condoms.

Yeh, tell them the truth young and then answer any questions they ever come to you with. I say this because my parents never told me and I would NEVER go to them, I'd rather go google...

 

[Aesop Rocks]

My dad straight-up told me two people ****ed when I was like 8.

lol nice.

 

[RockSP]

I learned about sex from porn. I never had that bird's and bee's talk. Of course I know chicks don't really like to do the type of s*** you see in porn.

Uh...tell me where you live so I can avoid that town like the plague.

So you know chicks that like having sex in awkward positions , being spit on , anal ,etc. ?

 

[Golgo-13]

That's what they tell you!


This topic brings up a good question; i have an 8 year old and a 2 year old. Is it illegal to show your kids porn, if it's for educational reasons? When i say porn, i don't mean the sick stuff, but basic intercourse...seriously...

What the H?

 

[8wid]

The school nurse and a very awkward video tape.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I remember when all the boys had to go outside for a TWO HOUR RECESS. **** was SO cash.

 

[knowsbleed]

I had to explain the birds and the bees to Bamfer...


I think I confused him.

There are plenty of people out there who like a little of everything. And plenty goes on in porn that people enjoy in "real life," too. I think it is better to say that porn may give unrealistic expectations of sex in that not every girl is going to like EVERY sex act, not every girl is going to be waxed and bleached in each possible crevice, not every girl will have a plastic surgery body, etc.

With the awkward positions....yeah, some of those don't actually feel good, they just look cool on camera.
