mind did something similar. the only talk i had with my dad was about whether or not anyone had ever tried to abuse me (where the hell that came from, i still dont know)

as for sex ed...nada. they gave me a book by, i think, james dobson, which i quickly replaced on their bookshelf. screw their books, i had an internet connection in my room: i didnt need no stinkin' book!

I never understood why the bird didn't get stung by the bee half way through.

Nope. I also didn't get the drugs talk. I ended up doing a lot of both.

did pot about twice several years ago. i hate smoke and smoking so i basically just coughed my lungs out. i don't think it did anything for me though. as for sex, yeah..well...still waiting for that to happen

ive tried pot a couple of times, but i was going through alot and couldnt sleep. it definitely fixed that problem.

not until, of course, i had eaten everything chocolate in the house first. but after that...i was out all night.

Nope. I knew more than they did by 13 after having spent hours upon hours in the public library reading classics like "The Hite Report on Female Sexuality".

this thread is an eye opener. who knew so many parents were shirking their duties. no wonder teenage pregnancies are so common.

My parents kept a few books around (very PC, not that informative) and told me to ask if I had any questions. As seems usual, by the time they got the books and brought up the subject, I knew more than enough already, so I never asked anything.

My father told me that being with a woman 'placing xxxx into xxxxx and moving forward and backwards' was the most pleasurable thing on earth. I was 7 and my brother 4-we were camping and it didn't make any sense. LOL

I didnt get the "talk"

I got the "Blockbuster animated rental video" of explaining sex to a kid. my dad watched it with me and asked if I had any questions. I didn't.
I was like 8 or 9 maybe

I just wish my dad had told me what guys REALLY want, and how far they'll go to get it. Would have saved me a lot of heartbreak, lemme tell ya.

I think it was said best on Scrubs.

JD's dad: What is it men like?
Turk: They like the boobies.

I got it from my Doctor. My parents never bothered, I think they figured I was too nerdy for it to even be a risk.

I never did. my parents never really talked about anything like that or about not doing drugs, etc.



edit: stupid forums running slow messed up my post

Never. I kinda wanna do the talk when I have kids though, who knows.

Seems like sometimes my parents let me go too easily on social issues but are Nazis when it comes down to grades and academics.

I remember watching Grey's Anatomy with my parents and they saw the party episode where they throw a party at Meredith's and half the ppl are passed out drunk. I told them I threw up at my bday party after drinking too much and they were like "oh ok." and laughed. Great. Iono.

Yes, I got the talk. They started from when I was a young age, so it was very gradual, and was not super ackward.
