Poll: What age did you learn about ...

[The_Echo]

I got my first sex ed class in fifth grade, so at the very least, I was around nine or ten.

But my neighbor also revealed to me the secret of how babies were made several years beforehand.

 

[DPutna17]

Grade 5 was the first sex ed course in my school so 10 years old.

This poll should have been a lot more specific. OT, I pretty much had the whole thing figured out (generally, not the fine details) by 9 or 10. I was "getting friendly" with myself by 12, and after that there wasn't much of a learning curve left.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

I was a smart kid (now im more of a smart MAN) so I pretty much figured it out on my own. Can't say exactly pinpoint an exact "Eureka!"-moment, because it was just something that came into being on it's own.

But it must have been pretty early since I can hardly remember exactly when it was.

My actual interest for it took quite some time to develop though, and even today I spend most of my existence as pretty disinterested in the matter...

 

[Bailoroc]

Somewhere around 15 or 16, I had the vague idea that there was something called sex and it produced babies. But I didn't learned about the actual process and how it worked until around 23 when I took an anatomy class in college.

Did I mentioned that I haven't been in a public school since 2nd grade and I had a very sheltered upbringing?

 

[blankedboy]

6 or 7, I found it in a science book and thought "huh, so that's how it works" while not realising how misinformed I was... I then discovered porn when I was 11 and got my thoughts drastically changed.

 

[Gudrests]

5-10. I went to public school.

This

Note to all parents and future parents hide your Playboys better

[WOPR]

I think about 16-17

...I lived a very sheltered life...

still looking for the guy/girl that marked "18+"
just because my first question is
"catholic school?"

 

[Bernzz]

I went to a public primary school. Friends in older grades talked about it a lot, even though they didn't properly know how it worked anyway. Had one friend that got into porn at a really early age, so his constant talking about it...educated me, for want of a better word.

I'd say around Grade 4? Which would be around 9 years old.

 

[bassdrum]

Sex, as a general concept, or as a practice? If it's the prior, then I learned that sex existed sometime around when I was maybe about 6 or 7, although it's been a while and I forget exactly. I blame high school for the rest of the learning.

 

[Erana]

My mother made no secret of sex. She tried to explain it to me when I was quite young, so I was aware that it existed for some time.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Like 5 or 6. I asked my mom, she told me the truth.

 

[The Seldom Seen Kid]

I knew guys had sticks and girls had holes, so one day I came up to my friend:

" Dude, I just got this funny idea...
- Yeah. That's how sex works.
- !"

I think it was in 4th grade. So I had to be around 9 years old.

 

[ZydrateDealer]

At about 7 I knew of it but I didn't understand it till I was 11.

 

[Merkavar]

sex ed in primary school but im sure i knew about it before that

 

[Koroviev]

I didn't really understand anything about it until I was 11 or 12.

 

[Super Toast]

Eight, methinks.

 

[darkfire613]

Fourth or fifth grade is when they started teaching us about sex. By that point though, I already understood the biological reasoning behind it, just not the precise details. I remember watching a video in fourth grade with kids explaining what sex was, and they were all saying stuff along the lines of "sex happens because people really love each other," and sitting in the room thinking to myself, "No, sex happens because we're biologically driven to pass on our genes." Yes, I was in fourth grade. Yes, I thought this.

 

[Dfskelleton]

I think eleven.

 

[Buccura]

I think I was 10 but I'm honestly not sure.
