At what age did you first learn about sex?

[The Awesome One 1,315]

I think I was eight or nine probably. Let's just say I clicked the wrong link.

[VinylWubs 1,252]

I think I was about 8-9 years old because that's when I started climbing up ''the ladder''

[RoyalRick24 10]

I think I was about 11-12, when I first learned about it, and 13 when I fully understood it all.

 

yay internet~

[LittleMac 3,085]

10 or 11 when I first found out. Wasn't 'til I was 12 when I actually understood it though.

No one ever had "the talk" with me, so I pieced it together when I was around 10 or 11.

[zombienixon 330]

I just found out about it after reading this thread. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME SOONER!?!?

[Chara 1,565]

7 but I never knew what it was called but about 2 years later. I found out.

[Denim&Venöm 18,761]

I heard about it a few times when I was little. Through movies & Tv shows I got that it was done by two very romantically involved people, and that it involved nudity and a lot of kissing. Didn't know exactly how it proceeded or that it made babies until 7th or 8th grade. 

[Castle_Cross 331]

I was 9, one day, i was playing with my friends, but i got tired so i just sit in the stairs of the apartment of my friend (we where playing in the street), when i saw that there was a little downstair, i found a porn comic, i started reading it, and my mind was transformed, i remember being a bit depressed about it, i felt changed and i didnt liked it, i couldnt take the images out of my head

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

I learned about it from my Middle School Health class, so around 11-12 or so I guess. I had somewhat of a sheltered childhood and all I remember from that class is an immense amount of awkward embarrassment. 

[Codelyy 1,286]

I think i learnt about it around the age of 11 mainly by research though i did have a sex ed class before i went to high school but it wasn't very good XD. All i remember is two people jumping out a pool naked so it didn't really help but instead made me feel awkward at the time but mainly everyone just laughed including me.

 

(My parents have never had the talk with me)

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302]

I was twenty-seven...  I honestly don't recall lol.  I just remember being a kid and thinking you climbed under a bed sheet with someone.  Naked + bed sheet = sex.  I never quite got a boids and da beez talk.

[Tom Snyder 4,112]

I guess i never did until accidentlaly read clopfic, oh god i swore it off for good. ok, i was curious to what everyone was talking about and i regret it.

I was 12. I mostly just pieced it together through the internet. Although it 'originally' started when someone in a YT vid said "did you know taht the smell of babies makes women horny?"

[The Professor...8D 823]

10 or 11.......................*cough*.....I'll leave it at that.............No need to explain further..............-_-

[Painted Star 120]

I think i know about sex ever since my first few memories. My parents never really told me stuff like "the stork brings babies to their families". I know I had lots of children's books explaining sex and puberty and other stuff like that. So my parents never really gave me "the talk" and I don't have specific age when I learned about it.

[Vox 870]

I was pretty young, like 6-7, i think i remember seeing something on TV that gave me the revelation

[Dawning Demon 950]

I cant really remember but probably 7-8 was when I found out their was "something" two adults did together and 10-11 was when I learned mostly about it during sex education at school.

[Shanks 10,816]

I was probably somewhere between 12-13, I have been masturbating since I was 10 but I had no clue what I was actually doing just that it felt good and I liked it. I remember coming to class one day and the teacher announces that we will be learning something called "family life" and gave us permission slips for our parents to sign. I didn't know what why they called it that or why it required parent permission slips but figured I would find out soon enough anyway. When I did find out it was a mix of confusion, a little bit of "ew, no way" and curiosity. I also had some talks with my parents as well since certain aspects of my curiosity sometimes got me into trouble so some of those talks were very very awkward. By 7th grade I became close friends with someone who knew a lot more about this stuff than I did and was a huge perv so he had a bit of a "bad" influence on me so I ended up becoming even more pervy than him.

Same here, actually. I don't remember exactly when I started masturbating, but I honestly think I could have been as young as 8. I hadn't the slightest idea of what it meant, only that it felt good. 

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

I'm always amazed by how young most people are when they learn about sex. Me? It wasn't until I was 14-ish.

 

My parents never told me anything about sex. In fact, they went out of their way to make sure that I knew it was a subject "off limits" that I shouldn't be getting into. If there was an innuendo on TV, they'd change the channel. If there was a sex scene in a movie, they'd fast forward it so that I wouldn't see it. I didn't have internet access until I was 14 specifically so that I could not "look at things I'm not supposed to." And when I inevitably did just that, I got in big trouble for it. But that was the final stage of a long and painful process.

 

I gew up knowing that most of my classmates knew more about "bad" things than I did. I grew up thinking that whatever sex was, it was an inappropriate topic that I should never ever speak of. As a result, I never talked to my parents or even my friends about sex. Even though I wanted to, I couldn't, as I thought it was something really bad.

 

What didn't help was that at school, sex education consisted of little more than "sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted sexually, so don't have sex." Not knowing what a sex was, I knew it was something really really terrible that only a man and a woman in a relationship could have. That was about it. All the preaching just made me stop wondering about it, because it was this terrible, terrible thing. Or so I believed.

 

Not long after, though, I started to piece things together and figure out what sex was. I knew it had something to do with boyfriends and girlfriends, but only when I started to question female anatomy did I even begin to understand.

 

When I was 13, I knew that there were obvious anatomical differences between sexes. One morning, when I was home alone, I went into my parent's library and tried to find one of their medical books. I knew that sex was bad, but I didn't want to know about sex. I wanted to know about female anatomy. Knowing it was something I probably shouldn't see, I hid the book in my room and locked the door. Then I turned the pages until I found what I was looking for.

 

I found so much information. That was when I learned what sex was, as well as how a girl could get pregnant (before, I thought women only needed to make a conscious decision to have a baby). Then it all madd sense, and I realized that was how infections could be transmitted.

 

That year, I was 13. I read through every anatomy book my parents had. The following year was when I got internet access for the first time. It didn't take long for me to use the internet to acquire more information. I would spend hours a day not even looking at porn, but informative sites like Wikipedia.

 

My parents used my computer and found out what I was doing that same week, and instead of being helpful and telling me about what I wanted to know, they threatened me never to do it again. I was terribly embarrassed, and I convinced myself that my obsession with sex was unhealthy and unnatural. I though I had a problem for the next few years.

 

Then I realized that everyone likes sex. To be asexual is pretty atypical. I realized that my parents weren't perfect, and hiding sex from me was probably one of the greatest mistakes they made. I came to the realization that this whole discovery was something that almost everyone goes through, and I really had nothing to worry about.

 

I'm now much more open about sex than most people are, and I no longer see it as being a bad thing. As I said before, like anything, sex only carries the meaning you arbitrarily assign to it.

[Canary Yellow 85]

I learnt about it when I was 10 years old at school.

[Sugoi Kurloz 40]

Lol I was in 3rd grade. People in my class told me.

[Catsle 604]

Well my dad was very talktive, and my family knows what he got into before he changed but i'd say my dad told me at 5, and I didn't understand until I was 7 or 9

I can't remember exact age, but I was in 3rd grade (so, 9, maybe?) when I first learned the body part terms, but I didn't associate them with sex (I only associated them with urinating) until, I wanna say 4th or 5th grade (between 10 and 11). I didn't see my first naked lady picture until I was 12 and I cracked open one of my mom's anatomical art books that she used to have for reference when she did fashion design. It was more of a sexual thing at that age, because I was already aware of differences in male and female anas from a young age. My little cousin (she's only about 3 and a half years younger than me) and I were bathed together when we were littLe but that stopped once I started reaching the age where I noticed the difference in our genitalia (around age 7).
