OTHER INFORMATION/COMMENTS:
As you can probably tell, most of my sex knowledge was transmitted to me by my peers in school and by a bit of looking around on my own. My parents' official policy was never to talk about sex, and until I got really curious and finally asked them at age 10, I wasn't informed, and that only grudgingly. So, since they didn't want to teach me about it, that's the reason I feel reluctant to talk to them about relationships, love, and the fact that I've discovered I'm a lesbian.

1. My mum
2. No
3. No
4. No
5. No
6. No
7. No
8. No
9. Well, I'm not sure if we covered it verbally. My mum basically gave me a book for preteens about the birds and the bees, and said that if I had any questions, to feel free to ask.
10. Same answer as question 9.
11. 18
12. My best guess is 4th grade, so about 9 or 10.
13. Massachusetts
14. White
15. White
16. My mum has a bachelor's degree in mathematics.

While I can't recall that my mum and I sat down and had "the talk," she did make it clear that she was always there for me if I had questions. I remember asking her what some slang terms meant when I was younger, which was a little embarassing at times. To me, the book was her way of giving me the talk.

Also, at my elementary school there were little lessons on girls and boys. We split up, and they just presented the basics e.g. girl & boy parts and getting your period. Obviously there was a class in high school on it, but by then everyone is well-informed, so the class was a joke, especially because it has to teach abstinence for federal funding reasons; although, I believe Deval Patrick (MA's gov.) just turned down federal funding for abstinence-only education! Yay!

Getting back to my relationship with my mum. We never discussed the physical action of sex, but when I was 15 (and got into a relationship) we had some intense talks about our views on sex, love, relationships, and birth control (a little). Now we have a very good relationship, and we openly joke about sex. She knows that I'm having sex with my boyfriend, but she is fine with it...or as fine as mothers can be with that sort of thing, because she likes that I'm in a healthy relationship and knows that we're being safe.

As far as information, I've been checking out websites like GoAskAlice.com throughout most of high school.

1. When you were growing up, who in your family or extended family provided you with the most information about sex and sexual body parts?
Probably my mother, unless you count books!

2. Did this person inform you that you had a clitoris as well as a vagina?
Yes

3. Did this person inform you that you had a vulva as well as a vagina?
No

4. Did this person inform you that girls and women can have orgasms?
No

5. Did this person inform you that female orgasms are usually experienced through stimulation of the clitoris rather than vaginal intercourse?
No

No

If your answer to 7 is Yes, please tell me a little about the information you were given about same sex female relationships and lesbian sexuality.

8. Did this person provide you with any information about sex toys or vibrators?
No

If your answer to 8 is Yes, please tell me a little about the information you were given about sex toys or vibrators.

9. What did this person tell you about why girls have a vagina? That is, what were your taught about the purpose of a girl's vagina?
Keeping in mind that my mum used "vagina" as a catch-all term for all the parts except the urethra and clitoris... Originally? Girls have vaginas to urinate with. When I started asking more questions, she told me that there was a part of the vagina that connected with the uterus, and that when a baby was ready to be born, the baby would come out of that part- but she hastened to add that that was not the same part of the vagina that was urinated out of! I don't believe my mother ever told me directly about the sexual nature of the vagina; that much I heard from books.

10. What did this person tell you about why boys have a penis? That is, what were your taught about the purpose of a boy's penis?
We had male dogs. I learnt early that boys have penises to pee with. It wasn't until I started reading that I learnt about the penis being a sex organ.

16. What is the last grade of school that your mother had completed when you first learned that you had a vagina? Did she have a college degree? Did she have more education than a college degree?
My mother has a master's degree in education. The ironic thing is that as a phys. ed. teacher, she teaches secondary-school sex ed.

Needless to say, my younger sister knows that if she has questions, I am the person less likely to stammer and blush. I am also not going to kill her if I find out she's sexually active. My mother is a wonderful woman and I'm lucky to have her. However, she is a bit of a prude about sex and sexual matters, which is why I learnt most of what I know from textbooks.

1. When you were growing up, who in your family or extended family provided you with the most information about sex and sexual body parts? Probably Mum though limited.

Nothing direct. I don't really remember getting the 'talk'.

10. What did this person tell you about why boys have a penis? That is, what were your taught about the purpose of a boy's penis?

I said once that its amazing how a penis can become erect, my Mum told me that woman have blood go to their vaginal area and they become aroused.

11. How old are you today?
29

If you have more questions send me a message.

My mother is a prude who can barely discuss with me the fact that I got an IUD or the concept of BC at all. I got what I guess you'd call 'sex ed' in elementary school when they educated you about your period but that's about all they talk about, and the boys and girls are in separate rooms each learning about their own bodies. Everything I know about sexual play was either my own literary research or taught to me by my partners.

Int1103, I had that mom. I remember being 12, and just as we were having sex education in school Mrs B got pregnant. Now this would be her 7th child. It was "oh, your mom and dad did it". This would of been 1973.
We also had a form of a party line. Another lady couldn't carry a baby. She had lots of miscarriages, then her and her husband adopted a little girl and when she got pregnant again they sewed her cervix shut and put her to bed. This would of been even earlier, maybe when I was 9 or 10, so 1970 maybe 1971. I learned alot listening to her and her doctor.
This site brings back lots of bad, good and awesome memories.

Don't you just LOVE trying to become a sexual being after an upbringing as sheltered as that??? I'll be 30 in a couple months, and still can't discuss with her my moving in with my boyfriend. It's insane.
