How did you learn about sex?

For me it was mostly the internet, then "toys" but not actually toys because I have strict parents and I'm scared they might find them so it was just toys like hairbrushes or make up brushes. Then eventually I learned with guys which is the best way to learn I think!

  • I think just growing up on a lake being half naked my mind awoke to sexual interest and desires very early. I was very curious started watching porn on the computer at a friend house. So there was 5 of us girls all about the same age we started wanting to figure out how to kiss. We started and was suddenly making out with each other it’s fun not like we fell in love or anything like that. We started feeling each other’s bodies and fingering each other oral we between three of us the other two didn’t want to. Fingering of course flowed in we seen so much on the porn myself and Angeline was the first to use different little object to insert. The Stacy brought her mom dildo, vibrator and bottle of lube with her. I was the first to fit it up me breaking my cherry knew what it was so I didn’t freak out. I didn’t like the vibrator on inside of me when I used it to much for me back then. Angeline was quickly along side with me and the others followed trying it as well over next couple weeks. So yeah all of us lost our Cherry’s to sex toys lol first boy was a class mate we took advantage of lol. He was so scared we totally intimidated him into it very cute sweetheart.

    • Wow @vickymoore9, so wild & hot! How old were you/they when this happened?

    • @Gagname started around 10/12 the whole thing with my friends as was started getting with guys around that time.

    • So you “started watching porn on the computer at a friend house…around 10/12”?…hmm 🤔… You are 36, so that would be 26-24 years ago—so that would be 1996-1998…I don’t recall internet porn being very widespread at that time yet (probably because I was so vanilla then, lol).

  • When I was about 7 years old I asked my parents where babies came from. They explained it in terms I would understand. Then when I was 8/9 we talked about body changes for both girls and boys. What to expect on my first period, breast growth (lol that never happened) etc. Age 12, we had a in detail talk about what sex is, how to have safe sex and what self pleasure is (ie masturbation) along with who, when, what and where it is appropriate. We also kinda just discussed things at random, like how all vulvas and penises look different, with different sizes and shapes. Plus touched on intersex people.

    Then when I was 15 I had a shitty sex Ed class that really didn't explain anything I didn't already know except traumatize me with pictures of genital warts.

  • Started having "weird" ideas when I was 7 or 8, rubbing against things and not-obvious erotic fantasies.
    9 or 10 years old was I when I asked grandmah' what sex was, at which point she told me ".. the male sticks his dick in the womans pisser." Which was not the whole truth but I just asked because I wanted to make an awkward vibe around the dinnertable.
    At 11 the other kids showed me porn on the schools computers.
    13; Started masturbating, with friends (I didn't know it was strange, it was just this thing that felt good). Also watched some porn of teen girls later on.
    14 years of age, (15 is the year when it's leagal here in Sweden to get sexual with others, we call it "Byxmyndig"). Well, at 14 during the biology-class the schools teach us about men and womens reproductive organs and how to be safe and what the consequences are..

    Since then it's been bits and pieces along the way from meeting girls, talking to my friends, reading books, listening to lectures and watching porn.

  • My mom actually explained it to us when we were kids😂😂 And then later we learned more from the sex ed books and stuff. But the absolute best way to learn about sex is by having it🙂

    Why? Because there are things/experiences about sex that are not covered in books or by teachers. Such as how a guy can have a sore stomach from all the thrusting afterwards, because his body isn't used to that activity (yet). How a woman may need a little numbing gel on her pussy if she's a little too tight and has discomfort from his dick. How she can squeeze a fist so she can deepthroat. How if a guy has done too much standing or walking in a day, his hips are not going to be their strongest or best for thrusting. Etc.

    So while being told is fine and dandy, experience is still the best teacher for this.

  • I learned about it from a supposed friend. He used to like grinding on me and dry humping me when I was little. As I got older and the internet became more popular I learned what it really was. So a variety of ways.

  • I learned the most from relationships and personal experience. Other than that, just listening to what girls had to say about it on online forums and things like vlogs, podcasts, interviews, Q&A. So, overall, I learned from doing it, listening about it, and reading about it from real people.

  • Parents, other relatives, friends, internet and porn :)

    How did you learn about sex?
  • Sis-in-law taught me everything, starting age 14.

    • Dang was that awkward

  • Well I learned in school. Than gained experience with boys. Also talking with girlfriends helped. And for what I liked I did it myself true experimenting.

    • what kind of school is that?

    • Normal school. Secondary school to be precise. Like I said learning that not the same as experience.

    • When did you do practice part?

  • Books.

  • My parents explained how the process works, but spared me the intimate details.
    We also had lessons at school about relationships, and telling us to be careful.
    But where I learnt by far the most was when I started sleeping (ok, not necessarily sleeping) with my boyfriend when I was 28. All those preconceived ideas went out the window once I actually started doing it.

  • Originally, my mom the basics, of sex ed in school but practically the guy who raped me didn't give much choice as a early teen but to learn.

    After that, a lot from my mother.

  • Well, had it been learned on G@G, everyone would think that threesomes, cheating, and people worried about their dick size was absolutely normal.

    How did you learn about sex?
  • My parents gave me the talk. I apparently got WAY more info and stuff on it than most kids lol

    • My parents too. They are doctors so they don't shy away from this topic. It was I who became shy with this topic😅😅😅. I learnt about it mostly from the internet, started watching the 'educational' videos from 5 th standard. Stopped watching them in 11th standard. Was really not feeling good watching them now. Sex Ed was there in 10th, so it officially converted the basics. I had also read my dad's MBBS books, so clinically too, it was clear.

    • But my dad still does not know that I have read his books.

  • Strict parochial school & high school education SO never got "the talk" beyond 'Thou shalt not...'... mostly self-educated by VERY DRY Masters & Johnson and the Kinsey Research studies of the excellent Carnegie library network... on the plus side, ALL solid info. on however negative side about as arousing as an encyclopedia! These had to underpin the typical softcore skin magazines secreted among my peers, Fredrick's of Hollywood catalogs and further augmented by my own budding graphic artistry--- before the days of graphic photo collage.

  • From friends and actually doing n learning.

    definitely not a great way but it worked, took a few years and close calls to understand it all.

  • I found out maybe at the age of 8. And my Dad literally just told me and my sister in at the restaurant in front of mom.
    Just like that.

    I guess it was cause we kept asking.
    He said it annoyed as hell.
    So uncensored and quick.

  • The kids who caught things would share info at school. So i understood the concept of sex by age 8. Usually by age 11 most kids know unless theyre homeschooled or something. So, sex ed should be middle school focused. Then in high school, iterating on choosing the right partner, time, and consequences.

  • From my parents who have always been very open about explaining everything.

  • Accidentally walked in on my stepdad going balls deep in my mother missionary style when I was like 4

  • Movies and television growing up with no adults to supervise what kids were watching

  • Natural urge and then society.

  • i kind of knew the idea from friends and then when i saw porn later it made more sense, though i didn't know how i'd ever be able to do all that

  • My parents told me about the very basics. They never mentioned what masturbation was. I discovered that on my own.
