Where did you get the best sex education? Was it from school, your parents, or did you simply get to see your mate having sex in a park? For one of our vox poppers, that's exactly how he found out

Aged 12, I walked into my Mum's room to ask her for something and I went "what are you doing under the covers Mum?" Her reaction was "get out! get out!". I was quite behind with the what is sex thing back then
eta: There was actually never much doubt how children are made. Either I never asked myself the question (and noticed I didn't know), or I just knew... It's long time ago, cant remember.
eta2: oh my god, I remember this children book who told you all that. It was in english, I think... My sister had it and it was very graphic... definitely on the index in the US... taught me a lot tho.
i guess then boyfriends and stuff taught me things lol and my mom asked if i needed a chat about it and said if i get pregnants its my fault as i said i knew it all so yea. lol
The only proper sex education i had was when i was 15/16 and i didn't pay attention cos i already knew what they were talking about. I only perked up to answer the quizzes :hyper:
So one day I was sick at home from school and there was all these naked people on TV during the day - and the programme was exmplaining where babies come from..
I got most of it from friends and magazines.
Also watched some ancient videos at school.
I think most of it came from those playground games, you know the ones about pencils and sharpeners and lines and circles? That must have happened in your primary schools too!

Me too :hyper:
I also had lots of chats with my Mum about it,. SHe used to be a youth worker so she was totally comfortable talking with me and my sister about that kind of thing. I remember a comedy incident when my sister was 5 (I was 4) when she called really loudly in the bakery "MUMM? Whats a condom?" Mum said she would tell us when we got home, and sure enough she did.
He also told me (when I asked about erections, aged about 7) that it happened because of magic, you had to wish it. I believed that for quite a long time actually...
We were shown the yr 7 sex ed video by accident in yr 4...
I was pretty clued up on it before I went to secondary school.
The only thing I learned at school was STI's.
:yes: I had that. It described sex as a 'grown up cuddle' so thats what I thought it was for ages! It also had a very strange picture of a baby peeping out before it was born :crazyeyes
And yes, that did include one or two rather explicit magazines. When I first saw graphically what sex involved, I just went "I'm supposed to put my cock in there?!". I nearly vomited.
