Poll: What age did you learn about ...

[Paksenarrion]

Pretty late, I think. I'd say the first time I learned about sex was around 10 or 11, when I filled out a form for permanent residence status.

Whats sex?

It's where you indicate whether you're male or female. I was confused, too. It has the same number of letters as "age", but it starts with "s", not "a".

About 11, I was watching a movie and couldn't sleep so I kept staying up, and at about 2AM some porn came on. Which was odd considering we had basic cable.

As far as my grandma knows, 13. But since I go to public school, it is more like 8. Gotta love public schools.

Well, I can remember a teacher of mine yelling at us in year 3 for calling it sex rather than it's proper name so I'm guessing some time that year when I was 8 but I didn't learn how it worked until I was about 11.

I learned about it when I was like 16 but the funny thing is that it's everybody talked about in school and I never knew what they were talking about you have no idea how many times I said OH, so that's what THAT meant! after finding out about sex, yet still did not talk that much about it afterwards and to this date it takes me a while to process a dirty joke.

If they haven't learned about sex until they are 18 then they probably aren't allowed on the internet.

3-4.

[sub]I think I know as to why I am a special case though...[/sub]

Do not try to understand my mind.

2 1/2 months... Papa NOOOOOOOOO.

Not cool, man. Not cool.

OT: Ten, I think. I got a book on it.

 

[smurf_you]

I don't really remember learning it, I just kinda KNEW by the time Sex Ed rolled around (heh) I'm PRETTY sure it was from my mom though....

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.
