Ugh, SO uncomfortable for everyone involved! You knew it was coming, inevitable really... where were you when you had "The Talk?"

I was 11, my mom and I were at the mall, probably enjoying a delicious Orange Julius, when suddenly Mom sits me down and starts in with the talk... Now my mom is queen of poor timing but seriously, the MALL?! My home away from home?!
I never forget the horror of my mother saying things like "penis"and "masturbation" :6ohboy:
Needless to say, I ended it as quickly as possible, and NEVER wanted to go shopping with her again. For a few years after the talk, she would ask if we needed to talk about sex and I would always say, "Sure Mom, what do you want to know?"

When I was 14, my younger brother and I laughed at a suggestive joke on TV one night. Mom and dad looked at each other kind of funny, then mom got up and left the room. Dad tried to start his speech, but I stopped him by saying "Dad, we already know about it." Relief and surprise fought for control of his face, but surprise won. What did he expect? All of my friends had older brothers. And it wasn't like I was going to go out and DO anything with the knowledge. I'd only recently taken an interest in girls and they were a LONG way from taking an interest in me. :irked: (Not that I blamed them. I was not a pleasant person in grade school.)

I never had " the talk", learned it on the schoolground by older kids, and boy they got allot of it wrong, also with the visual aids of dirty magazine left by construction workers not locking their bulldozers at night, I was able piece together enough to get by in later life

Mom sat me down for a little talk when I was like 11 or 12...and she was very general and careful about the way she worded things. I could tell she was worried about making me uncomfortable. She didn't throw too much info at me but she did a good job. She kinda started the topic and then allowed me to ask her things, but by then what she didn't know is that I already KNEW everything from hearing it at school. :lol:

We still laugh about that when I bring it up. I always tell her -- "Mom? You were so worried about me not knowing this or that when I already KNEW it all!!!!" Well....not ALL...but....almost! :mwaha:

I never had "the talk"... learned from experience and through older friends :p I think my parents suspected as much, so they never bothered :lol:

My Mother bought me a book.... With PICTURES! *gasp* I was mortified! :duh: I hated to tell her I already knew mostly everything from my older cousin. Especially since his pregnant girlfriend told me how it happened.

My stepmom gave me the talk when I was 21 and was due to go on vacation with my boyfriend!!

We had The Talk in Biology when I was 11 so my parents had the talk with me then. It wasn't traumatic or anything, mum just asked me what we were doing in Bio and did I have any questions. Having said that I learned most of the stuff from my brother and his mates. A lot more useful than listening to your parents because there you saw for yourself what was really going on, someone's pregnant girlfriend at the age of 15 has its own psychological value.

I never had "the talk" with my parents. My aunt tried when I was about 14 or 15. We were swimming in her pool and she just started talking. She wasn't really telling me anything I didn't already know. I really wanted her to stop talking though lol. I did NOT want to be having that conversation.

I was about 9. They had a book and went through the technical stuff, which went over my head. I got the gist of the conversation, and I remember thinking that it made sense.

I actually found out everything I know in the love lounge. :lol:

I was lucky- I never really had the talk with my parents. They more or less figured out that I knew already, much to their relief. I did have two uncles who decided to enlighten me at the age of 8, and the rest I learned from older people in school. Problem was, not many other kids my age knew what I did, and so they thought I was weird and gross at the same time.:lol:

I do find myself having "the Talk" with my nephews quite often. Just yesterday Mavrick wanted to know what a virgin was. At first I tried to beat around the bush, telling him it was a non-alcoholic drink, like a virgin daquiri. He didn't buy it for one minute. So I finally caved, telling him what it really was. Later that day, I see his mother walking toward me, and she does not look amused. She asks me if I have been educating her son about "the birds and the bees". I admitted that I was, and her face broke out in relief! :laugh: I guess she feels he should learn about sex from me, rather than from television. His father, on the other hand, asks if there isn't a street corner where his son could hang out instead...:mwaha:

So, Uncle MisterE, What's a vagina???

Just kidding! In all seriousness, my folks never gave me "the talk"! I guess they figured I already knew! (I Was, after all, the "wild child" of the family in the 80's!)

I never had "the talk" either. I learned everything I needed to know by watching movies like 'Little Darlings', 'Porkys' and of course finding my dad's stash of Hustlers underneath the bed. :D

My parents never gave me 'The Talk'. I come from a very Christian fam and that was something you didn't talk about and before marriage were not even supposed to think about.. So figured things out on my own.

Never had "The Talk" with my parents. Learned everything from porn, and schoolyard talk.

My older friend told me everything.When my mom tried to talk to me,I was like"I know"

If you mean sex, Mom was always "too tired" to bother her with questions. As far as she was concerned that was what sex ed in school was for.
And for my Women and Periods talk, that consisted of her coming into my room one day when I was about 12, and her handing me a few of those old pads (the ones used with pins) and whispered for me to put them in my underwear drawer as I'd need them someday. Then she left.

What talk?
