How was the sex talk?

How did your parents explain it to you? What was your reaction?

I was handed articles instead. Pity, I would have enjoyed watching them squirm a little.
 
We never had a formal sex talk. I brought it up on my own, and my parents never had to talk about birth control to me because they knew I wouldn't have sex until I was 18. They also knew I would never get pregnant until I was absolutely ready (which I'm still not...and probably won't be until I'm 30).

I did (and still do) say too much. I asked my mom about her clitoris and wondered if she could do certain things that I learned I could do. She just...WOW. She was very uncomfortable. I didn't understand why *blushes*

My dad and I make sex jokes all of the time. It's just not a big deal.
 
My mother told me about my menstruation cycle... That was very odd [for her, that is].

My father told me to think carefully before you have sex with a man, he told me to always say to myself "Will I really be able to look at this face for the rest of my life?" It worked, too.

Other than that, they never really told me anything, but I think that just like breathing, what you're supposed to do for reproduction is also instinctual.
 
I don't remember exactly how the talk went. I just remember turning off mentally and not wanting any part of the talk at all. I learned more about it later in my school's health class and nurse because I was the first girl (that I know of) in my grade and class to get their period.
 
It was fine. My mum and I read a book about the physical nature of men's and women's bodies and how the sex act works together and then she left me some other books that discussed some of the more intimate aspects of sex that she saw as private.

She's always been very open about the female reproductive system and cramps and the pill etc.

It got awkward at times as I got older when she'd mention some radio story she'd heard about sex and would offer me advice and reminders about protection and unwanted pregnancy - all the more ful when you're not actually having sex with anyone at the time

... and then there was the day she told me in a weird roundabout way that if I happened to be a lesbian, that was alright with her.

So the conversations were not without awkwardness but she was always pretty cool about the topic.
 
It never even happened. I didn't have a serious boyfriend until my senior year in high school. The only thing my mom said was that she wanted to me to tell her when I was ready to have sex with him. There was no "talk".
