At what age did your parents give you "the talk" and how detailed were they?

Question

For me, I got the same talk as my brothers, and we all learned about both male and female reproduction and the consequences of sex when we were about 9 or 10. My mom was a nurse, so she was very detailed in her descriptions.

Mother was a 'woos' when it came to sex and explaining anything. She gave us a book to read, and when I bought a book about sex she found it and burned it. She was a little crazy when it came to fucking until later and she brought home sex jokes, from her sewing circle at Church?, about the little boy screwing his sister, and telling her " she was tighter than Mommy" and sister saying "That's what daddy said" Pretty twisted for a sexually uptight mother, huh?

Damn, go figure... I will never figure that one out?

Marking this for 'your reply only"

Open discussion about bodies and how/why they are different from early childhood. Simple answers to questions based on biology and reproduction. I knew what sex was from 7. Discussion on sexual pleasure that comes with maturing body was before puberty, so around 9/10. No one ‘talk’. More an ongoing open and honest discussion as I developed, explored, enjoyed.

They didn't. Closest thing for me from them, was that sex was physically impossible before marriage.

Got it more from my older sister after she was married and always talking stuff with mom while I was there! Learned most on my own and the rest in health class. Mom never directly said anything!

I was about 8. My mom was in the hospital recovering from minor surgery, so my dad took it upon himself to explain it to me and my brother (a year older). He was drunk as fuck! He was fairly detailed. Like your mom, he was in the medical field.

I was about 12 and had just started masturbating. The talk covered most things except masturbating which all young guys do frequently... go figure!

No talk at all! We've approached it very differently with our kids.

No talk, just a book on human reproduction. Nothing mentioned in it about sex other than vague descriptions.

Hmmm. 🤔 I don’t remember exactly, but definitely during the preteen and teen years. Plus, I read a lot of puberty books during that time. So, I learned a lot that way. 😌

I never got the talk. I learned abotu sex from a friend;s older brother. I was in 6th grade and I really did not believe it.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

I was 3.  It was detailed enough to explain how reproduction works.

Mansearching · Answer

About 10. They didn't hold anything back. Used every technical term. Yes, they said, "penis goes into vagina and slides back and forth".  Never wanted me to be embarrassed.

kellytheman · Answer

I probably mostly learn about most of it in sex Ed when I was 11 at school but are parents had to sign a form to allow them too. My mom did tell me some of the basics about women when I was n my stone 9 or 10 but I got more info in middle school.

AimeeKyle · Answer

I never received the so called talk. I learned from looking at and reading adult magazines, watching TV / movies and observe people/family members and their relationships.
