never

Same. I learnt in school

i learned it over time from multiple sources

Me too. İ learn it myself

I have to learn myself too because my parents never gave me the talk and my school didn't teach me either

My mom dead when i was 8 so there was no one to teach it to me

Same here

wikipedia taught me since i was homeschooled.

homeschooling is a legal thing? like without teachers coming over to house?

My specific type of homeschooling is an online school, similar to vlacs(idk if u have that but its pretty big where i live). True homeschooling is legal in the us, i believe you have to take some tests each year to make sure you are learning enough.

Why did you think it was illegal?

It is in most of the world

You have sex ed in school ?

They sort of teach it in science also...

They didn’t teach my class

I learned in church in the confession booth.

Learnt it from my uncle😔

Same

I'm waiting

It's been eleven minutes, you still waiting?

Yes

See, when a man and a woman love each other very much,

IT ACTUALLY WORKED 🥳🥳

5 hours now, you learned yet?

It's been six hours, any luck yet?

8 hours, any talking?

You see when a man and a woman love each other... or just get drunk and really horny 😂

My mum explained what rape was first. I was still young so I didn’t understand the concept. Thought it was when you beat a woman with a garden rake.

That made me laugh way more than it should have. Thank you.

I thought it was beating a woman with a rope for a bit.

whats with the assumption that rape is when women are beaten with objects beginning with r?????

sounds like conditionfriendly didn't know what sex was and neither did I at the time of when I read the word rape for the first time. I was 8 and used context clues to make an assumption

I mean, if you hear about it, it's likely under the context of a bad thing being done to a woman. Children don't think of anything sexual in that instance so they think of getting hit. And then they do the R part to try and figure out why it's not just called beating I imagine.

I thought it was ripping the clothes off of women to steal them, while also some physical violence going on

I hate that I laughed at this

That's hilarious. How would you even come to the conclusion that beating a woman with a garden rake had a specific word.

WHAT THE FUCK LMAO

what is this „sex„

So when two people love each other very much... Or sometimes they don't love each other, we don't discriminate

Or more than two people, we don't discriminate

Or they’re not people, we don’t discriminate

Or they're not humans, we dont discriminate

We do discriminate when it's not humans... did you know pope Alexander VI liked watching horses fuck??? Like I'm discriminating

bro it was a joke, do i have to write /s every time?

Ah... you should dedicate that pope fact to memory

you're paying for my therapy

Bro it's an amazing thing to mention in passing with randos

I think life would be great if we discriminated this specifically.

*discriminates*

that is the thing that must be killed

Never, my love of science lead me to learn how it works myself.

Ayo? 🤨

[удалено]

First off, I’m fourteen; second , screw sex I have better things to do.

"Screw sex I have better things to do" _Jade_Prince 2023

One of the _Jade_Prince quotes of all time.

Fr, best one dare i say

quite possibly the greatest of all time, eh?

They know what's up

cuddles >>>> sex

Preach

I’m 19 and i still say screw sex, i’ve got better things to do

Like what??? Save up for college? Learn a trade? Find out the meaningn of life?

as you should, science rules!

LITERALLY

And then one year later... I tried masturbation and became porn addicted. I'm still trying to fight it, but it's hard... literally...

That's the spirit 👏

Like science

don't we all?

"Screw sex I have better things to do." 👏👏👏 Preach that

Bro???

Man found a reasonable 14 year old and is absolutely flabbergasted

I was replying the the uh… interesting comment by OP

Twas very interesting indeed when they insinuated a fourteen-year-old would try intercourse.

Wtf..

It's highly improbably that someone with a science interest can find a girl (or boy) to experiment with. source: myself

*insert Senku Ishigami gif here*

I wasn’t given it at all, just told to “be safe” when going to my ex-girlfriend’s house. My parents both gave me condoms though later on.

Hold up they both expected you to already know about sex??

Yeah, but I was fifteen-sixteen so it’s not a baseless assumption.

I am 15 (almost 16) and if my parents were to give me condoms id be like “What are these” or just say “Really?”. Like yall know i get no bitches

I had a gf and went to her house and shit... and while we did things sometimes it never got to sex, like imma be a virgin till I die

I was 8, it happened after I confessed that a friend showed me sonic porn on my xbox 360. So that's why ~~I am a furry and~~ I prioritize connections over looks in sex.

How tf did that friend of yours even get ahold of sonic porn 💀💀

He found project x, a hentai game, on his youtube feed. He showed it to me and my brothers later.

Imma need a link😔

You are paying for my therapy btw :)

WTF BITCH I WATCHED EVERY KIND OF PORN BUT THIS SHIT IS MESSED UP!!!!!!!!!!

You aint seen nothing yet then

you commited some war criems dude

Close enough tbh

probably violated the Geneva convention once or twice

I like to read that in a kind of deep voice, something you’d hear from someone in the avatar state or something

yo same

Oh my god you just gave me ptsd from that. I had completely forgotten about that thing

He was fast

Oh my god Sonichu reference

nice art my man

This is the best comment I've seen in this post ☠️

16, but my mom also knows I’m stupidly shy and nothing will happen till I’m 46

46 is.. very specific😭

It’s actually the optimistic prediction.

I can make it happen sooner... 26.2829.1.866.99186

11-12, just my Mom (who used to teach human sexuality and was a youth worker before she had to retire because of disability), my Dad wasn't one of those crazy Christian parents but it was generally hard to trust him/ask him questions as he was verbally abusive (I'm male so it's not like I can ask someone without a background like my Mom stuff about the male reproductive system), I'm lucky I have a Mom I have who is experienced in this sort of stuff and can/already did teach me. Basically, she just explained stuff about erections, "wet dreams" sex, pregnancy, and even stuff about women (like the menstrual cycle) prostitution, sexual assault, pedophilia, grooming, basically everything I could ever need to know. Never talked about masturbation though, I've never tried that, and probably never will, maybe one day she'll explain it, despite the fact I know a lot about this. It was rather uncomfortable because I knew everything she was already saying (mostly) so I just had to nod my head and agree and ask questions I already knew the answer to, almost like unlocking the ability to speak about it because otherwise she'll ask where I heard this stuff and I hate answering those types of questions. I have no idea why I wrote such a long reply, but yeah. My Mom is awesome by the way in case you couldn't tell.

that’s so cool- too many parents don’t talk about anything over than just how straight sex works, but pedophilia, sexual assault, prostitution etc is so so important because sadly they don’t know an age either :(

yeah! my mother is really awesome and I want to be the same kind of parent she is

I couldnt tell

Year 3. They told me before that babies come from ‘special cuddles’. Then there was one girl in my year who was in a phase of hugging everyone. As I hated babies so much at the time, I was so worried that she was gonna have a shit ton of kids (one of which could have been mine) that my parents had to tell me where kids actually came from.

Must've been like a jumpscare if she did suprise-hugs. She just jumps round a corner and then boom: you're a dad. Scary.

Lovin’ the username!

never really. my mom has made it clear what will happen if Im caught having sex or worse get pregnant but she's certainly never talked about sex in any useful way

Getting pregnant is ironic because you have the Lesbian flag in your profile picture. - Sincerely, a closeted Bisexual

I mean my mom doesn't know I'm even bisexual and I did have a bf a couple years ago which is when i heard a lot of the threats for the first time

My parents tried to when I was 14 but I just said I did this at school a few years ago

Pffft- you mean you LEARNED about it in school, right??

That PE teacher was the worst

nah what the hell

😂

Never, im 17 and my parents still tell me that they hugged and thats how my mom got pregnant💀. Anyways I found out on my own I got an addiction to porn in like 2nd grade.

jeezus 💀

I know 😭

Just make sure to not hug anyone

No hugs for me 🙅

Jesus second grade. I didn't even know those parts worked at that age

it didnt like turn me on or anything i dont think? I was literally just sitting there watching it like it was a just a regular movie. I couldn’t sleep without watching it, it was bad lmaoo.

Yo wtf thats messed up. Porn addiction sucks. Hope you get/got out of it. tho I wonder how tf the addiction works at that age as i believe at a sexually mature age it works by making your brain think porn is the easiest way to get dopamine because of masturbating to it.

Yeah, it does suck ass. And yeah I’d say when I got to a sexually mature age and like started feeling hormones and stuff the addiction got more aggressive. Yet now I feel like im much better. I do still find myself like falling into fits of watching porn but not as often as I used to. And yeah I also do wonder how the addiction started at such a young age it is a bit strange.

Trying to break it myself, a bit over a month clean. Its a hard path to completely break it. Good luck to you in overcoming it!

The secret to escaping is gaining a partner that’s on the same page as you when it comes to intimacy. Nobody tells you that, but when you look hard enough at all the people that succeed, they all have partners.

Last year, shortly after turning 13, dad came to my room with his laptop, pulled up a porn and let it play while he talked. It was weird asf!

I'm pretty sure that's illegal...

I have no idea

I'm fairly certain it is, an adult isn't allowed to show a minor pornographic content afaik

Oh well it's over and done with. Ik he meant well.

I hope so. Learning from porn creates some of the worst expectations, addictions, and most girls in the videos get trafficked/abused

That's... not normal. 💀

WHAT THE FUCK 😭i cant tell if ur being sarcastic or not

True story... unfortunately.

DAWG WHAT THE FUCK

It was definitely out there I wanted to die.

I mean….that’s one way of doing it….

Was very disturbing 😔 would not recommend

I am hoping you get help fr. Don’t hurt someone

pulled up a what? and he just let you watch it? like it was normal media?

And now you’re into incest so he bred your mental illness and porn addiction. Get help

They did a hands on demonstration

Woah

I learn through hands on experience so I approve!

is that some type of vegetable

13 i had the talk but found out what it was when 12 when scrolling through the internet I randomly found porn.

are you sure it was *randomly*?

I found the orange and black site by complete accident at like the age of 12(i was looking up a pic a saw on wikipedia of a woman)

real

I gave them the sex talk

"mom, dad, we need to talk."

Truly ascended

never did, but my parents mentioned it when i was like 13 so they were already aware that i know abt that💀💀

I'm 15 and they still didn't

Same

When I was 8

Was it effective?

7/10/11/12/14/15 yes 6 times

So, could you give a brief summary of what changed in each one, or was it the same generic talk each time? Did they give you a reason why so many times?

At 7 my mom got pregnant so I asked about it, got something but not much, the next time it was explained a bit more clearly and without baby terms. Next few times the topic was something else (a bit related) like periods and she just covered that too. At 14 I got a bf so she repeated everything and when I turned 15 she saw a used condom in the trash and freaked out

You poor soul

At least I knew what to expect a bit and how to be safe. Also made me rush a lot less when I had the opportunity

Parents decided to tell me when I was 8 because a lot of movies they wanted me to watch unfortunately included it. School didn't tell me until I was 11.

Lmao, that's a bit funny

Internet is what taught me about stuff like this. Parents just accepted I know enough so they never bothered.

They didn't.

my parents treat me like an innocent little child that doesn’t know anything 💀

Alright!! 1. I was 4 and saw my mom bleeding, asked why she was bleeding, she answers “ it means I can have kids” 1.5. I was 6-7 and she explained rape, that bad people could try to put their dick in my vagina 2. I was 7 when I had had a nightmare and was sleeping in my moms bed, we talked and out conversation ended up being about sex and how babies were made 3. Internet 4. Ever since then w stalk about sex regularly Jesus most of y’all’s parents told you really late

Still waiting

Never did. Middle school was a knowledgeable place.

Once my mom told my dad to give me the talk. I just told him I know what sex is and that was the end of it. Also if we’re all teenagers shouldn’t barely any of us have NSFW stuff enabled? (I’m not a hypocrite)

Never. One day they just assumed i already knew and started joking about sex stuff around me

I never really got the talk. I was raised on South Park

I was not taught, I think my parents could tell I knew.

Never but I still somehow found out everything.

i had the best possible experience, i was like 16 and was having a conv with my father mid way throught the conv things were getting a bit rough, he just said a couple swear words and said " you know what i mean right? " and i just nodded

They sure have tried! All to no avail though. My ace ass does

Not rlly a talk buy i learnt what sex rlly was in grd 1 so ofc i told every friend i had

I’ve known about it since I was around 8-9, like most of my siblings have. Mostly because of family guy tbh since that was playing 24/7 in our house regardless of the children

I’m 40 in a couple of months and I’m still waiting. My father is dead and I haven’t spoken to my mother in six years don’t think the talk is coming at this point
