Trust me my parents were cool about it. The way it would usually go is that one day I'd get curious about things like how babies are made so I'd just go up and ask my mum (I assume there would have been a long awkward period between me and my Dad if I'd asked him). And she'd give a fairly mature response, all the while answering any questions I posed to her such as "Couldn't the man just pee into a cup and make the ladie drink it?" or "Wouldn't the baby come out all smelly when the lady has to poop it out". And yes, back then I honestly thought that babies were excreted from a womans rectum, and I had no idea what semen (Siemen, seimen?) was.
But I always remember hating any sexual education classes we had to go through at school. Back in year 3 the video "Where do babies come from" was met with rounds of un-surprising laughter at any mention of penis or vaginah. Interrelate (Yes, that is what they called it) back in year 6 was an absolute joke, and at any mention of certain liquids coming from certain female orifices during certain times at least one girl would faint. Plus, any worksheet they handed out where we had to draw pubescant features onto diagrams of boys and girls I just used to draw features such as horns, moustaches and the like.
