Had a sex ed thing in school when I was like 11.

[mars 4,862]

I read a fanfiction.

A few months later, my mom actually sat me down and we had the chat lol.

[Roughshod 719]

I was eight or nine, I was trying to type 'six' into a keyboard and accidentally typed 'sex' and found some interesting things online.

My dad walked in, laughed, and told me to go outside. 

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

I first learned about Sex Ed when I was in middle school, we had a class where the males were separated from the females and the males learned about female puberty and the females learned about male puberty. It was a bit much for me at my age being in sixth grade.

[SquipyCheetah 449]

Blame the internet. I learned about it many, many years ago.

[Ricebug 555]

I can't remember to well it was so long ago, I am gonna say about 8 or 9, I had a group of older students on the bus I rode to grade school. They were loud and very obnoxious. I listened one day, figured out some things about sex, used those learned words on a computer, and then read for a while. I didn't get much but as I got older things started to un fold and make more sense in school. And amongst my friends. I did not have the chat or anything either, I guess my parents just thought I knew :3.

11 or 12 yeah. From school I think.

[KatonRyu 1,033]

I never had to endure 'the talk', fortunately. I don't really know how old I was when I learned about it, but I do know that it never came as a shocking revelation to me at all. My reaction was more along the lines of, 'oh, okay'.

[Lucky Bolt 35,058]

Well, my mom sat me down and had “the talk” when I was about 12 years old. Honestly though, I kind of already had a vague idea of what the word “sex” meant long before then...

[Envy 6,122]

I remember I learned about it in school starting in the fifth grade. My parents gave me the talk separately, I think it was shortly after.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I learned about sex when I was 11. Though it was through school, and not "the talk." Though I had a vague idea of the concept when I was 8 years old... 

[Cyclone 1066 3,617]

At about the age of eight. I never even had the talk with my parents they just realized that I already knew everything they could tell me by the time I was 13.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

I think I was 12, cause I'm pretty sure I was in 7th grade. I stumbled across something in my science textbook and I got curious, so I googled it. My parents always opted me out of the sex-ed parts of health class, so I never learned that way. I got a very abridged version of the talk a year or so later.

[The Historian 516]

Around 9 or 10-ish. In the time before the Internet no less.

[Dreambiscuit 9,353]

I think a lot of girls just know about it by instinct from a fairly early age. I don’t know the exact moment I became ‘officially’ aware of it, but I was probably around eight or nine. People talk about stuff, and my friends were no different. Some even had some visual material to illustrate with, which I didn’t need but couldn’t exactly un-see.  

[Nsxile 26,786]

I was about 9 or 10, if I recall correctly.

[TBD 17,252]

Around 7th grade through biology. Even though sex ed starts in 5th grade for me, I didn't pay too much attention on it.

[Mellow Mane 5,931]

I think I must have been 6 or so. I am actually quite surprised to read so many others only found out around 11 or 12.

[RDDash 19,123]

Don't actually remember, I think it was a biology textbook about various animals or something like that.

[Peppermint Larry 203]

There wasn't a single point in time that I learned, or one "talk" session. Our school system had a sort of "sex ed" each year starting in kindergarten (This is what males have, this is what females have, nobody is to touch your junk, etc) and they'd throw in more information each year. At around 4th grade they taught us what to expect during puberty, and every year after that they slowly brought in sex as an interaction. 

Though I will say that outside of school, my family fed me fear-mongering misinformation that had really screwed my perception of the whole topic up. As a 13 year old in middle school, I for real believed kissing people caused pregnancy -_-

[RaraLover 10,414]

I first found out about it when I was in grade 5. It was actually part of the school curriculum.

[The Kaeya Simp 13,988]

since I was like 6 or 7 I knew the term sex (although I thought it was just going under the covers and hugging someone and go to sleep while hugging them naked)
but when I was like 12, nearly 13 I found out about sex as part of the curriculum, although I was about 13, nearly 14, when I found out about most of the forms (although this was through clop)

[AveryGamerDude 4,640]

I'd say when I was 10, probably.

[TheRockASaurus 50,027]

I honesty cannot remember at all.
