How old were you when you finally learned **accurately** about the "birds and the bees"? Who or what told you? Parents? Friends? A Book?

11 Friends.

I found a three foot stack of Hustlers when I was nine, that was the foundation of my sexual education, when my mom and dad told be about the birds and the bee's, I didn't know what the hell they were talking about.

I learned it gradually through school. But sex ed pretty much ruined it all for me. It was probably too accurate. They showed us pictures of erm... certain body parts infected with STD's. That was uncalled for! And then the birth video, and how the sperm makes it to the egg with that little tiny camera. It was a little overwhelming for a middleschooler... Ugh...

I was 10 and my mother gave me this awesome book. After that she was always there to answer any of my questions. I did the same thing for my offspring.
-
I was 12. My older brother told me. He was actually the only "father figure" I had in my life at that time.

Growing up, I raised a lot of animals from parakeets to horses. So, I got a barnyard education, making the transition to understanding human reproduction a very natural process. However, reproduction and sexuality are two very different questions, though the results may be the same.

I grew up watching a disturbing mix of Trisha and Jerry Springer, so I wouldn't call it accurate. I was a more 'learn as you go' sort of person

When I was 10 in primary school, and then again when I was 13 in high school.

9. I figured it out myself at 9, but I would'nt really say my view was 'Accurate' yet until I was 11 or so.

I don't remember NOT knowing! I don't remember a time when I learned about it. I know I read a lot of books when I was little, encyclopedias, anatomy books, whatever was on the shelf in the living room.... I remember looking at diagrams of human bodies, bones, organs, etc. I must have been about 6 or 7 years old... I guess I taught myself. I remember my mom offering to answer any questions I had about anything, but I never asked, and we never had a "talk." In 6th grade (age 12) we had a little portion of class one day for sex-ed. We were separated into boys and girls, and I don't know what they told the boys, but our section was more about the menstrual cycle than anything else. Anything I learned after that seemed to me like I already knew it. Disease and STD information came in 8th grade (about age 14), and added valuable information, but didn't teach me anything about the actual process of human reproduction, or about human anatomy.

I honestly can't remember.. It didn't happen at one time, I learned bits and pieces throughout my childhood, but I'm pretty sure I knew all about how it happens when I was 9-10, and perhaps even younger..

I was 10 when my parents finally decided to answer my questions regarding where babies come from. They bought me a small book, say 36 pages or so. I remember being completely confused as to how the man and woman got close enough to make a baby, because all the book said was that a man and woman lay really close to each other to make one. Never once was anything mentioned about the mechanics of the act. I was terrified for YEARS that I would get pregnant being near a boy. Ridiculous - it should have told me!!! I have already told my 10 year old a ll about it. I even showed her what a condom looked like, and a tampon, too. I was very thorough.
-
I kind of figured it out on my own.
-
My mom and dad were not comfortable talking about "the facts of life". On my wedding day my mom was going to try to have "the talk"..I told her I already knew so she was very relieved. I was 20 and inexperienced..but I had friends who were experienced. So I guess I learned from their exploits! :) Don't remember how old I was probably though.
-
My thirteen year old friends told me everything that I needed to know when I was 12.

A friend and I in the forth or fifth grade would steal his fathers Penthouse and look at them under my porch. Besides looking at the pictures, we read the stories people wrote in about getting laid and such. Thats where I first learned about sex.

Her name was Maribeth, overly well endowed for her age. We were both 15. I was a fast learner.
-
my mother and I was too young. I wanted to know but when she told me the truth after begging to know what SEX really was...she told me and I nearly passed out. Who woulda thought that i'd become a pro, literally , I'm a whore for hire.
-
I never really had "the talk". My parents are pretty relaxed about it. There was never a need for a Talk, I just got bits of information here and there, asked a bit and connected the pieces from what I observed (from movies)
