I never got the talk, it's just something I found out from the older kids at school and reading books mainly. My parents are never embarrassed to talk about sex either, and they were willing to give me "the talk" if they thought it would help, but I told them I was fine and went on my merry way. It didn't stop my dad having "a friendly conversation" with the first guy I brought home. If I didn't feel sorry for the guy I would have found it hilarious like my mum and brother did 
By book and parents.
It´s not rocket sience, I don´t get how people gets so tense/ embaressed over these things. Just answer the questions when they come up, and talk about it.

Well I got sex Ed during yr ,6,8, and 9 but it was in year I started getting the whole idea and now today I know alot more then I wanted to know, but my parents didnt teach me and I am glad.
Started with a terrible sex-ed class and Googling the word "pornography" after I saw it on the list of things you could lose your computer privileges for. That's what happens when teachers don't explain the important things. I remember two guys in my 9th grade English class openly discussing their favorite porn sites with each other. The teacher was out of the room.
My "talk" was about thirty seconds long. It consisted of Dad telling me how screwed I was if I got a girl pregnant before I graduated high school.

I learned from the neighbor's daughter when I was about 8 or 9 and she was 13.

Friend interaction and piecing it together over the years. Never had any talk with my parents about it.
I got the talk from my mother....when I was 8 years old...in the middle of a supermarket. It was a tad awkward to say the least. Thankfully, there was no one else in the frozen food section.
After that it was your usual Sex Ed and Health courses in middle school, and possibly an informative book about Human lifecycles in the middle school library.

o_0' Yeesh... a couple questions... but I think I'll keep them to myself. Anyway, way to go having your boner explained to you!Zekksta said:
OT: A combination of reeeeeeeeeeeeeally crap sex ed at school, porn a junior high mate pilfered from the newsagent he did a round for, and 'the talk'. Incidentally, 'the talk' was actually with my first girlfriend shortly after we started dating.
The last time I asked my parents a sex question I got laughed at, so fuck them I learned mostly everything via the internet.
Yhea, I used the internet to teach myself. At least thats how I started, ended up dating an older girl at around 14 (she was 16) who was more than happy to teach me whatever I didn't know. School was fun that year.

The ol' fashioned way- I walked in on my parents. They were never the type directly lie to me, so I got the whole story the next day, when I regained my composure and asked about it.
God, hard to believe that happened so long ago. Don't think I can even remember behind that day.

An illustrated book/children's story in pre-school for the basics, pieced together some over the years, and then some more detail in biology class.
edit: Also around this time (and this is unrelated, but kind of funny), someone wrote "cock" on a table cloth. The teachers confronted the children about it with the classic cop show trap:
-"Who has been writing bad words on the table cloth?"
Me: "It wasn't me, I don't even know how to spell "cock"."

I was young and asked my dad what sex was and he told me "The difference between a man and a woman". I asked him what that ment and he only repeated it, so I never had "the talk". Sex-ed was so far removed from the act, I still had no clue what it was afterwards because the "see through" diagrams shown didn't make any sense at all and I thought the side view of the penis medical diagram didn't look anything like what I had. I didn't even know women had "three holes".
So I learned about sex and anatomy from porn, BUT this was before the net really caught on in the dial-up days when the 2400 baud modems, so that ment my brother's "Barely Legal" porno mag and any naked breasts in movies I could get my hands on.
It's sad really, a kid seeing a photo of a vagina or penis for educational purposes in a classroom just to know what the hell they look like won't shatter their sanity. Adults think if kids see what body parts actually look like, they'll turn into porn crazed deviants, but don't realize not giving the right information clearly actually drives kids to porn for their education.
If I had known what sex was instead of charts and medical terms, I wouldn't have looked in a magazine and found an advertizement for a video of a guy with two dicks getting blown by two women at the same time... now THAT will screw with an 11 year old's mind when he's not seen anything sex related.

Was the book in question Where Did I Come From? and/or It's Perfectly Normal, by any chance?Daniel Janhagen said:
The former is the one with the really cartoony illustrations throughout; the latter is the one with the little bird and bee mascots. (Both have been on the banned books list at some point.)
Nah, this is Sweden, and it was called Per, Ida och Minimum. (which means Per (name), Ida (also a name) and Minimum (not really a name, but what they call the incoming baby))Farseer Lolotea said:

Never REALLY had the talk... found out bits here and there, mom gave me a book on the subject and the rest I learned from the internet, mostly porn. I can talk about it with my mom though, no problem. If I need to that is... happened only once. the other times it comes up is when she says something I can turn into a suggestive joke, which I pretty much always do. or when she asked me what my kid brother should get his friend. "you were a 14 year old boy once, what do they like?" "Porn."
