When you first became sexual active, did you tell your parents or not?

And if so how did they react?
I am 21 still a virgin- I know, I know,- I think that when the time comes I do want to tell my mom but I am afraid that she will make a big deal out of it (in a positive way) and I do not want that.

if you did tell your parents, how did you approach the conversation? I know I will not tell my father and I probably will tell my mother, but I know she will make a big deal about it just like she did when I got my first period and first kiss. I am a -extreme- late bloomer so my mom was very happy for me when it finally happend for me, but I feel like she gets too excited. I just need her to chill.

Superb Opinion

  • No way, no how! I was underage and was having an "affair" (if you will) with a member of my mother's woman's club who was older than my mother- by more than a few years.

    Maybe 15 years after the fact, my mother and I were chatting and casually asked me why I didn't and much in high school?

    "It's because just before I turned 17, I began having sex with 'K'." (who had long since moved away).

    My mother threw a fit! Had I told her when it happened, "K" would have been arrested and I would have spent my high school years like most guys: jacking off, instead of enjoying an active sex life with an attractive (mature) woman.

Most Helpful Guy

  • I think my parents still believe/assume I became around active around 20, with my second girlfriend which is the one they "officially" met. And there was no, any kind of talk about it... at the most they just gave me a look, meaning "don't be a dumbass" you know, to be responsible, smarter.

Most Helpful Girls

  • no, my parents are super conservative and I'm not close to them. If you have a healthy relationship with your parents, then yes talk about it if you're comfortable. I learned all the proper sex ed online since neither my parents or school would give sex-positive ed.

  • Nope. My parents still think I didn’t have sex with my boyfriend until marriage, despite the fact we were together for 5 years prior.

  • i didn't tell them but they knew... short dresses... oh yeah got caught with a dick in my mouth.

  • Yes I did. It's important so they can provide support and advice

  • No, I did not reveal that to my parents. If a gentleman doesn't KISS and tell, then he certainly shouldn't. . .

  • Yes, my parents even knew in advance as we discussed these things openly in our family.

  • I didn't because that's an awkward topic to discuss with parents.

  • I did not but I had a feeling they knew. My mom found a used condom under my bed once when I was home from college so I know she knew I was having sex.

  • No because I just didn’t. All I did was say can so and so come over for dinner.

  • absolutely not.

  • I didn't say but my mother caught us doing it. So she knew.

  • I tell them everything lol we’re really close

    • how did you tell them?

    • I told my mom and she mentioned it to my dad

  • Mom already seen us messing around masturbating and sucking him off. We asked her how to do anal.

  • I told my mom, but my dad just kinda figured it out. I was living with him at the time so after a few night spent at my partner's house I think he caught on

  • I laughed at this. My parents were divorced and I hardly saw my father and I would not even tell my mother I was going out with a girl.

  • Yeah i did after couple of weeks

  • No
    My father is religious, real no sex before marriage and only for procreation
    My mother would have got pissy about my 18 year old girlfriends being 18 when I was 16 (let alone giving me booze despite the fact I was drinking at work after every shift but the less they know the better)

  • Yeah, my mom and I were pretty open about dating and sex. Even during my last high school years they would go out late, to give me the home alone for sex.

  • No because I lost my virginity at 18 when I was an adult. I waited for the right girl.

  • It did not matter if they know

  • When I first started masturbation with the humping method I kept it a secret up in'till my mom walked in on me while I was rubbing my penis on a sheet while naked on my bed in my bedroom. 😢 😰

  • I didn't tell anyone. I think my dad knew instantly though, remember coming home and he gave me the weirdest look ever.
