Parents & Sex

[T3XT]

What did your parents tell you about sex growing up?

Lately I've been curious about what most families tell their kids about sex these days. That's not neccessarily something you go around asking about though, so I thought it'd be best to ask about here.

When did your parents introduce you to "the birds and the bees"?

For me, it was the day immediately after my eleventh birthday.

While you were growing up, what lessons did your parents give to you about sex?

For me, they told me to wait until marriage before fucking, and only doing it with your spouse.

Did your parents encourage you to have sexual relationships with boyfriends or girlfriends?

For me, it was a huge no-no. I thought that "not until you're ready [and married]" message was what was taught in just about every family these days, but then I read Cootie's story about his mom tossing him a package of rubbers when he went to his room with his girlfriend.

Would your parents be accepting with any sexual orientation you choose?

Mine encouraged me to be hetero, and still do to this day. Little do they know that I'm actually gay.

Share your personal philosophies on sex, and what you were taught growing up.

Nothing.

They didn't.

They can't even say the word sex. They can't. You say it around them, they start blushing. Keeping in mind that I was a smart-talking little shit who got cuffed about the ears just for talking back more times then I can count, I'm pretty sure they were somewhat afraid of talking about it to me.

Anyway to this day we've yet to broach the topic.

Not a damn thing.

The what?

While you were growing up, what lessons did your parents give to you about sex?

Everything I know about I learned from kids at school mostly.

Did your parents encourage you to have sexual relationships with boyfriends or girlfriends?

My parents never even brought up girls.

Would your parents be accepting with any sexual orientation you choose?

My mom's a pretty die hard Catholic, so probably not.

My mom was the CEO and CFO of a division of Planned Parenthood and I also worked and volunteered for Planned Parenthood while I was in high school, so reasonably and responsibly comes to mind.

I was told to play the field and always use protection, so a condom and my partner on birth control or spermicide along with getting tested every year. Pretty simple stuff some parents tend to want to ignore.

Hahaha, I'm still laughing. Great one.

But seriously, same as the others, not much if anything. Most of it was taught in school. And due to my nature, even the school I was in, who deliberately put me beside a girl in my class to make friends with her, gave up after I ended up despising her and said a resounding "No" in the parents-teachers-meeting.

I do not regret anything

[Provoke]

I didn't learn jack shit from them, the internet taught me everything I need to know.

What did your parents tell you about sex growing up?
Dad told me its a basic human thing, mom didn't say much other than shaming people who were portrayed sexually on tv.

When did your parents introduce you to "the birds and the bees"?
When I started asking.

While you were growing up, what lessons did your parents give to you about sex?
My Dad told me to be smart about who I sleep with and use condoms. Mom was like don't have sex ever.

Did your parents encourage you to have sexual relationships with boyfriends or girlfriends?
My Dad was happy when I fucked chicks. Mom basically told me never to have sex.

Would your parents be accepting with any sexual orientation you choose?
I think so. Both my parents support gay marriage and are alright with me having gay friends. I'm not into guys so I wouldn't know if they would be upset. Chances are they would be fine with it as long as my relationships were healthy.

Fucking same. Except my parents probably did tell me stuff and I just don't remember.

[Amaranthus]

If your kid can't find it out himself he's probably retarded. Just give the kid an encyclopedia, it'll be alright.

So they teach safe sex and not abstinence?

Just curious, because sex-ed at my school was very abstinence-based. I wonder if that's what they usually teach.

[Sensationalism]

They gave me a book about it to read. I was like third grade idk.

Oh no, the abstinence approach was taken at my high school, which is what most schools tend to stick to. Basically they'ed shove std pictures in your face and order you not to have sex until marriage. Thankfully my parents and I knew better.

[dreaming-loudly]

Not a whole lot to be honest. School covered most of it quite well. When I was 14 my mum just gave me a bunch of pamphlets I binned

[GrizzlyOne]

Sex is completely natural..... I do not know why parents are so afraid to teach it, just don't commit adultery and you'll be fine.

My parents told me about sex whenever I was around seven years old. It is a biological function, so I don't know we can't tell our kids about it from a purely scientific angle. Now, they are really open to it and my mom buys my condoms.

[FlamingBodies]

The internet taught me everything.

What did they tell you about, you know, when it's okay and not okay to do it?

[Jeffyx]

My parents never brought it up.

I remember looking up naughty words in the dictionary when I was 12, giggling at words and phrases.

[vannila-guerilla]

My dad told me if I like a girl my "thingy" would point at them.

True story.

They said it would be best if I waited until marriage, but they weren't mad at all when I did have sex.

[HighWay]

nothing.

I found out by my own accord.

[havvk7]

I was already born with this knowledge.

[dogpup4]

What did your parents tell you about sex growing up?

Nothing. I would have found it too embarrassing and I think they would too.

When did your parents introduce you to "the birds and the bees"?

They didn't.

While you were growing up, what lessons did your parents give to you about sex?

None.

Did your parents encourage you to have sexual relationships with boyfriends or girlfriends?

No, but they didn't discourage it either. We're not religious so I doubt they'd care if I did it before marriage.

Would your parents be accepting with any sexual orientation you choose?

Yeah, though they probably want grandchildren and I'm an only child.

[selena]

My mom just said use protection, that's about it. She doesn't care because she knows i'm not stupid

My dad's a doctor, so he just told me a bunch of medical terminology and didn't explain it. Thank god for porn and Urban Dictionary.

[saqwert]

I learned about sex secondhand from a Haitian newspaper comic strip
