Poll: What age did you learn about ...

[PrimoThePro]

My innocence destroyed at the age of six, when an eighth grader told me everything.

 

[The-Bad-Blooded]

well, I went to public school, so the first I heard about it was when one of the previous students who had moved on to high-school at the start of the year had gotten pregnant, and we asked how she got to that point... I would've been about 8...
yeah, it was THAT kinda educational system...
let's just say I didn't stay at that school for very long...

I had an idea rather young. My older brother had a book with some anatomy stuff in it, I think I was 6 when I saw the diagrams. About 8 I knew what a boner was, and that a lady had a hole and what you were supposed to do with said boner, most of it was probably learned from my friends who's dad's had playboys. I guarantee I didn't learn it from my parents though, I think the first time my dad mentioned sex was when I was 15, and my mom doesn't talk about it. Although the nice video's they showed us in eighth grade made damn sure I wear a condom.

3rd Grade. My friend came in and said, "Guess what I learned on the internet last night?"

the single best way to start any conversation.

 

[Terramax]

I learnt the ins and outs at 11 yo.

See what I did there, did ya?

 

[Kevonovitch]

5 or 6 when a friend told me about it, in good ol little kid fasion of "omg random anything mixed in with something overheard but not understood" XD and then my parents sat me doqwn w/ the kids book of sex, so i kinda learned something, ish, round then? i pretty much knew it from then on lol.

 

[LeonLethality]

Um, around grade 2 is when I learned about it in better detail but I knew about it for a little while before.

 

[DanielDeFig]

I learned of the Concept around the age of 9-10, a mix of schoolyard and parents clarifying with "a version of the truth". Basically my mom told me: When two people love each other enough, when they hug and squeeze and kiss each other enough, the woman may become pregnant (with a younger sibling, i was familiar with pregnancy). It was enough, i understood as much as a 10-year old really can understand.

Around the ages of 12-13, school and (once again) parents went into more detail. I was disgusted enough to almost wish the previous story was the whole truth.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

I knew about sex when I was 8, but I didn't really understand what happened in sex until I was around 10-11.

 

[superbatranger]

I sorta recall learning about it when I was around 10 or 11.

 

[Casual Shinji]

My dad used to breed minks and foxes, so I more or less understood the concept of having babies when I was about 5 or 6 years old.

The actual "how" and "why" of plain sex didn't become apparent to me though untill I was around 12.

 

[Omikron009]

I was quite young. I couldn't have been older than 6. My parents never really had an issue with teaching me about sex. My mum always said she has a much bigger problem with violence than sex, even though violence is more widely "approved" of.

 

[Betancore]

I borrowed a book about the digestive/reproductive/respiratory systems when I was 6, and read it with my mother. When we came to the part about the reproductive system, she explained it in a very scientific way, read the chapter to me, answered my questions, and didn't speak about it again until I was 14.

 

[Cmwissy]

I thought we all walked in on our parents as toddlers?

[small] Or was that just me...[/small]

 

[MassiveGeek]

Can't remember exactly, I got curious about it at a young age though, but lost interest eventually until I got past the worst of the hormone cyclones.

 

[JenSeven]

I think about 11 or 12, also yay or public libraries before the time of the internet, also yay for public libraries that have interesting books explaining the subject in both a visual and scientific manner.

Also nice to have a mother that will give you a highly instructive guide book complete with pictures (which looked like it was made in the 60s without any form of restraint) around the age of 14 when it all turns rather interesting.

 

[Smooth Operator]

At about 5, found my dads dirty magazines, and it was only interesting to watch because it was such a huge taboo, but looking at it I was like... EWWWW
Then I turned 13, and I was like... AAAAA

 

[Chani07]

5-6. Around that period anyway. Curios kid and plenty of males that left their hustlers and playboys unattended.

 

[MasTerHacK]

I don't even remember. It's fair to say that I learned about sex in stages. My parents taught me some stuff as a kid, school taught me some stuff as a teenager and the Internet filled in the blanks.

You mean porn?
I learned about sex in the 2nd grade, I think... In my preschool years I asked my mom what sex is. She said: "It's when two people kiss." In third grade we bought a sex magazine and brought it to school (me and a couple of pals). I don't think I need to explain the popularity we received. Anyways, we didn't even have sex-ed, although I believe children should be brought on to this subject as soon as possible...

 

[TheHecatomb]

First heard about it at around 7-8 I think. Though naturally I had no idea about the specifics back then. While we're at it, I think I started masturbating at 11-12, had my first sexual experience with a girl at 15, lost my virginity at 16.
