When did you learn about sex?

[Never]

When I was twelve I read Justine and wondered if all relationships were based on power.
When I was twelve I thought masturbating was wrong.
When I was twelve I learned the anatomy of a penis and uterus in Sex Ed, but I didn't learn about AIDS and I didn't learn about Condoms until I was sixteen.
When I was twelve my Sex Ed teacher taught me girls do not get wet.
When I was twelve I read the Kama Sutra and read about foreplay.
When I was twelve my mother informed me that masturbating was not bad and that my Sex Ed. teacher was an idiot.
When I was twelve I figured out I was gay.
When I was twelve I looked through a book at my Aunt's house and because of several illustrations I finally figured out how the penis and the vagina met.

Twelve was a good year for me.. I think the only age I learned more about sex was when I was nineteen and started coming here.

Raised by a highly religious family sex was a taboo subject
I was excluded from sex ed with a note from my grandmother so ended up experiencing it for myself at 14 with an experienced 1 year old

 

[Closet Desire]

when I was...

...thirteen I learned about touching a woman's body.

When I was 37 I started to figure out sex.

...so ended up experiencing it for myself at 14 with an experienced 1 year old

Umm, debbie dear?

 

[MissTaken]

when i was ten

a friend explained how babies were made. I cried for an hour thinking my dad would never hurt my mom like that!

At 11, my mother, the er nurse, showed me her college anatomy book complete with pictures of the uterus and the testes. I didn't even connect it to my friends story!

At 14, I found I liked how much it tickled to touch myself.

And, a late bloomer, at 19 experienced intercourse with a friend just to find out "what all the hype was about."

Then, Pandora's box opened............

Bob, I think debbie just forgot a number in there somewhere. I hope!


Okay, I just told this.... but......


I was in the middle of a tornado drill, under my desk, in preschool, at the age of 4 and the boy across from me, whose name was Todd, who was also 4, made an okay sign with his one hand and stuck his index finger of his other hand in the hole and pushed it in and out, while smiling at me. I went home and asked my mom what it was, and after some hesitation, she drew me a real pic, and told me that was for mommies and daddies to do to make babies. I said, "what can girls do to each other to make babies?" and she turned red but said "they can't make babies" and I said "darn, I like girls better than boys".


I did a lot of touch, diddling with girls and boys from then on.


What? I am not bad!

 

[Merelan]

Grew up on a farm, cannot remember when. Impossible not to know about it with nature happening all around you.

And I sure hope Debbie forgot a number.

 

[Never]

I hope debiee forgot a number too.

 

[cymbidia]

Debbie certainly forgot a number; which one? I say... 7

When i was in 6th grade, i had a sex ed class like all the rest of the 6th graders. All i remember was that they took the boys out of our mixed-gender class when it was time ot talk to us girls about... ~whispering~... menstruation.

When i was 14 i spend the night with my friend Patty, my best friend for years, and she and did a little touching. Pretty innocent stuff, really, but it was thrilling nonetheless.

When i was 15, my friend Cindy (who was to introduce me to a LOT of stuff - i was still innocent about sex and drugs and rock n' roll, unlike Cindy) introduced me to her brother who began taking Cindy and me to parties with him. It was at one of those parties that i met the man (hey - he was 21!) who would become my first real lover and, coincidentally, my first Dom.

After that, i started learning amazing amounts about sex.

 

[LordMagicMan]

Whats sex?

 

[rambling man]

when i was 12 me, my step brother, step sis and brother watched pornos on satellite when my parents went to bed

 

[Ask For More]

I'm too innocent to know about these things

 

[bluntforcemama]

nine

 

[TaffyJ]

Children who have been molested...

learn about sex early. I don't even remember exactly when or how I learned. Somewhere after 6, but before 10, I think. I felt dirty and guilty about sex at the time, because of what others had done. I didn't learn about how sex is really supposed to be until about 14, and I couldn't shake the bad thoughts until a few years ago. I'm happy and fine now, though. One might not think so, from reading my stories!

[stargazer76]

Ummm, as soon as I was old enough to read...

My parents were very open about sex in my house and talked to us a lot about it. My brother and I learned how to put a condom on from my parents....my mom explained the theory, while my dad demonstrated....on himself. My husband still gets the willies when we talk about that little lesson.

 

[Latina]

Dad was VERY strict. I wasn't allowed to date and I was completely clueless about sex. I couldn't wait to move out on my own, which I did as soon as I turned 21 (legal age at that time). I worked so DAMNED hard to support myself so I wouldn't have to rely on my parents, that I had little time to socialize. It took me two years to make enough to feel financially comfortable enough to start socializing. So I lost my virginity at 23. He wasn't very good, but I did try it with the same guy a second time, and it was a little bit better. I slept with one other guy at 24, then at 25 I met the man whom I married when I was 26. We waited until we were married to have sex...BIG mistake. He had almost NO interest in sex, made love to me 5 times in 17 years before he died. I had never yet experienced an orgasm.

Than when I was 45, I met Frank, and OH...MY...GOD! He can't have sex with me enough, nor I with him, and in five years, he has eaten and fucked me into thousands and thousands and thousands of mind-numbing, quivering, shaking, screaming, moaning orgasms. He is always reading and trying-out new sex techniques, and he LOVES to give me pleasure every way and any way he can. It is only in the past 5 years that I had any idea how truly amazing sex can be!

So I guess you could say I didn't really learn about sex in all its infinite and wonderful variety until I was 45! But now that the genie is out of the bottle, I am a true nympho slut with my man just about all the time. And I love it (I love him)!

My mother started answering my questions about sex & how babies were made when I was 6. She was pregnant with my youngest sister & told me the facts of life all through her pregnancy. I did some touching & experimenting with girlfriends in 6th & 7th grades. I lost my virginity at 18 with a boy I had known since junior high. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad, either. I wasn't too careful for a long time about the men I got involved with & didn't have a very satisfying sex life. The man I am with now is wonderful & my soul mate in every way. I have had the best sex of my life in the last 5 years.

 

[Orlanth]

I learnt about sex when I was 5 years old.

 

[MunchinMark]

Less than 5

My parent's bought this great book while my mother was pregnant with me. Then they just left it there so's I could find out when I was ready.

It was brilliant for kids, because it just went into the mechanics and it was Pop-Up. That was a great idea.

Learning about the more, um, delightful aspects came later with my turning eleven and joining the Scouts. Adolescent boys are all too willing to talk about it and then there were those camps where there would be Girl Guides...

 

[Willing and Unsure]

i learned when i was in 5th grade... the strange sex ed class that was held by the school nurse.... scary scary thing... most of us in that class were extremely naive until, well... i quit bein naive around 10th grade.. as for the rest, they probably still are
