Poll: The Talk

[wyrdsister]

My mother knew she would never have to. She just used my love of reading to her advantage. She threw a book into my lap when I was nine, knowing that I would read it all simply because it was there. From what I remember, it made a lot of things a whole lot clearer. It also disappointed the prats in my class when Sex Ed came around the year after when they wanted to torture the most 'innocent' girl in the class, only to find she knew more about it than they did.

Yeah, that was a wierd day.

Is anyone else surprised by the overwhelming amount of people who never had it?

My 'talk' was a gradual buildup of stuff from my mum while we walked the dogs. She was really good at being sneaky about it, and I never really got too freaked by it.

I've recieved segments of 'the talk' from about the age of 11 (and still sometimes get lectures from time to time).

I'm not precisely a lady's man or Casanova so I guess it probably isn't a big issue for me (which would explain the on/off nature of it).

My mother swears she had a talk with me, but all I remember her saying was "You can't treat women like that!", nothing explicitly about sex.

But she had me at 16 so can't really say much anyway.

I can't believe this, that's actually the exact cartoon I saw that got me thinking it would be a good idea.
