>>26605I remember being really ignorant about sex well into my middle school years but this was the early 90s before internet was common. I heard bits and pieces from various classmates such as "You gotta have sex to have a baby!" but not understanding the depth of what it actually meant. I was the oldest of three so I had no older siblings to teach me the ways.
I do remember at some point having a talk with my dad about where babies come from and he mentioned sex but when I asked for details about what sex actually was, he gave me what I thought at the time was a really confusing answer; he essentially said "When your peter gets hard and you stick it in a girl's vagina." Obviously confused and not understanding, I asked how that actually results in a baby and he said "Because it shoots juice." At that point my mom interrupted and told me not to listen to my dad because "I shouldn't be hearing those kinds of things."
Other than that, my parents never had "the talk" with me. Instead, my mom gave me a book about puberty and sex. She told me to read it in private. I never actually read the whole thing, I just skipped to the pages where they showed female body parts and outlined intercourse and imagined what sex was like. Then we had sex ed in public school and my family got internet the following year and, well, there was no need for me to imagine anymore.
