How Old Were You When You First Learn About Sex?

[I_love_rain_hugs_and_you]

I didn't know what sex was until age 11!!!!!!!!!! I am glad I was kept innocent for soooo long!!!!!!!!!! And still a virgin...how about you? What age were you when you first learnt what sex was?

[Drizown]

I first learned what sex was when i was 8... but then i really became wise in the subject lol when i was about 11 (my sis gave me this huge book called gurl deal with it) so yah.

[emma34]

I've known since I was like 4...actually i can't remember not knowing.

[inspiration]

I had a general idea for like a long time. 3rd-4th grade or so. but once junior high hit i knew all the nn--n-n-n-n-nnnasty things in the book.

 

my mom's most likely happy i kept my mouth shut at school because the teacher's wouldn't have taken kindly to some of the things that came out of my mouth.

now i'm an

[jecht]

when i was like 9 or 10 yah bout then they taught it in school then but then i know it all because thats what some of the guys in our group fun to talk bout but i don't really care

[MetallicAguy]

About 7 to 8-ish. It doesn't really affect anything unless you learned about it before 7. Well some people can handle it, then some people CAN'T at all and those are the people that are sex offenders.

[goddess23]

lol. when i was about 10. see...before that i always thought sex was just like two people being naked together. during puberty class, when the teacher explained it i sat a little confuzzled and then i asked "so...wait...the penis goes INTO the vagina?" n my teacher was like well....yes. and thats when i began clenching my muscles together and crossing my legs. and till this day when people talk about fingering or something i cross my legs lol. but i mean i quickly learned all the dirty things...i have a open relationship with my parents, and i think thats one of the reasons that i have been slow with my sexual progression. my first kiss was like a month before my 16th birthday.

I learnt the basics of it when I was like, I dont remember, really. 6, i think? I dont really remember. I learnt the full on details when I was in yr 4, so.. about 8 years old? I'm glad I learnt about it early on.. and then in yr 7 we had the full on sex-ed class. I think it was great that I learnt about it young, though, it sort of prepared me and like.. yeah, I dunno. My parents didn't tell me a bloody thing, though. I'm going to be a horrible teacher -- I have no idea what i'll say to my kids XD.

 

And yeah, I am still a virgin ;P

First time my parents taught me, they had a book called "Where Do I Come From." I was 10 when they read me the book, but I already knew about sex a couple of years earlier from a friend of mine. The book described sex in the missionary position. What made that moment so special was that I was thumbing the pages and my parents were asking me what I was looking for, and I said I was looking for doggie style. I even asked them what anal meant. If I only knew how precious that moment was, looking at their faces as they said, "That's for another time, dear." I got my friend in trouble because he taught me all that stuff and he was 3 years older than me.

 

First soft core porn: age 13

First hard core porn: age 14 (Deep Throat, and I thought ejaculating was a camera trick, even though I learned from the book years earlier.)

[I_love_rain_hugs_and_you]

My parents never told me about sex, and when I first had wet dreams I didn't know what was wrong with my body. I really feared that I might have cancer or something. I thought semen was something weird...and I thought I might die. This is what happens when someone isn't told about sex before puberty...

[goddess23]

lol...well i was REALLY FREAKED when i saw pubic hair when i was 6. i thought i was dying or i was a monster. puberty at a young age really sucks too!

[MetallicAguy]

lmao a monster. Girls can get it as young as 6! Wow, I thought it was like 8 or 9.

[VictorWard]

I was very sheltered. I think I must have been around 12 or 13. I had a sex-ed class, but it was all anatomy. Then one day I just had one of those life changing moments where everything made sense.

[goddess23]

lol seriously ive never heard about it in other girls. but it was really scary...and it makes me think sex ed classes should probably occur earlier.

[g790403]

I learned it when I was 11 I think it was during health class I think.

[Jecto]

I've known since probably 8, and spent the next twelve years getting very knowledgeable before making love to my current girlfriend, and she is my only.

[Rosex]

Both my parents were very open about sex so I don't remember a certain age when I found out, I was brought up with the knowledge and because they were very approachable, I could always ask without being embarrassed. I remember when I was about 8 or 9, I'd heard someone in the playground at school say "blow job" so I asked my mom what it was, and she told me straight. I remember thinking, "why would anyone ever want to do that" lol

[aphrodite24]

I was 14. The whole "sex-ed" thing. The guy I am with now though, OH MY GOD. He is so good when it comes to making love!

[neva_black_n_white]

I was probably about ten, but maybe things were put to view a little better by "the video" in year 6, so maybe 11. i think i was naive till about 13 though, i dont think i clicked on what a blow job was for ages. but thats just me. **blushes**

 

but yeah it took me a while. i think the first thing i was taught about was PROTECTION let alone the act! haha

 

kel

[I_love_rain_hugs_and_you]

ya....i didn't know what a blow job was until i was 17. Thank God I am still a virgin and haven't done that!!!!! Yuck!!!!!! YUck!!!! Yuck!!!!!!

 

Lets all remember Terri Shiavo!!!!!! Rest in Peace!!!!!

[Abacab]

I've been aware of sex since 7 or 8....

 

But I feel compelled to write a couple of things sparked off by the origninal posters remarks:

 

Being a virgin until 22 is great, when you consider all the nasty things that you could get by practising unsafe sex.

 

However, IMHO sexual education is very important; not only to learn how one's own body ticks, but also for the future of a fulfilling sexual relationship which is required for a harmonious marriage.

 

In addition to the above, a marriage based on a purely platonical level which excludes any form of sex cannot last.

 

A little story for you all now...

 

When I was studying my 2. year in university, I had a tight group of friends where everyone but one of the guys engaged in sexual activities. This guy used to breed canaries and one day while studying together the subject of him not dating anyone came up. He pointed towards the canary happily chirping in its cage and said that he remembered buying the canary when it was very young and when the time came, it mated naturally with another one. He added that on his wedding day he'd just follow nature's course.

 

At the end he did get married and his wife divorced him within 6 months, claiming irreconcilable differences. Heard through the grapvine that he'd only engage in sex in the missionary position without any foreplay at all!
