Did you have the "birds & bees" talk with your parents?

It's awkward for parents and kids, I think. I'm guessing that most kids "learn" about sex from friends at school and elsewhere before parents get around to talking to them about it. Also, do you think that dads should talk to sons and moms to daughters? Does it make a difference?

Nope. Never. :P

Yep. they told me they wanted another kid and it was awkward as hell reminding them exactly how to go about it. I used flash cards in the end.

I learned it in school at science class. Never talked to my parents about it.

I was educated by late-night porn on a public channel.

Later on, (13), i was educated by the internet.

And finally, i was educated by a boy.

I don´t think i the words "sex", "intercourse" or "procreation" have ever been exchanged in a conversation between me and my parents.

Nay...

I learned all that mostly on my own.

Nope. Never came up in the entire time I lived with them.

It was pretty much 5th grade sex-ed plus years of internet, and then my half-brother.

No. I learned myself and school. I honestly don't even know how this birds and bees story goes.

I mostly learned about sex by myself, but my brother and sister gave me the talk. D:

Nope. Everybody educates for himself :lol: I don't see what is it there to be talked between parents and children about this subject. The kids find it out soon or later...

Found out in Science class before talking to the folks. But, being a virgin, me and my future wife will have loads to discuss about this lol.

When I was around 10 my mom was like, sex, this is what it is... and proceeded to explain how it was done. That was the only talk I ever had on the subject with my parents. It probably influenced my thoughts on the subject; I take a very casual attidute towards sex, but not towards respect for others. If an attractive female approached me in a clear state of mind and wanted to have sex I'd be all for it. But I would never pressure someone into having sex with me, even subtly.

Yep. At first I was like :? Then as I began to understand the details my demeanor changed to :lol: Then the realization struck me that my parents :| uh :( oh god no :cry:

Nope. Thank god.

I don't really remember... I think i already knew and I talked to them to clarify. what the hell does "The Birds and The Bees" have to do with it anyway?

Well, you see... the bee makes a bzzz sound and the bird flaps her feathers for the bee and the bee starts stinging the bird over and over until the bird has had enough and eats the bee.

Nah, I don't remember where I learned that the stork brings the babies.

Ive never had that talk but ive had the stork talk.

Nope

Ok thats it! What the hell is the story!? Everyone references it, but no one knows the ACTUAL story! :x

Edit: To clarify, I know what the "birds & bees" story refers to and what it's about, but I don't know what the actual story is, and I'm starting to believe there isnt a story. Someone just made up the saying one day, and people started believing there was a story to the phrase, when there really isnt.
