As a boy, my parents didn't seem that concerned with giving me "the talk".
I wasn't sure if that was because I was a boy, or because I was smart enough to never ever mention the names of any girls to my parents.
Eventually I thought I had escaped "the talk". Then in college, I took a trip by aeroplane to visit my college girlfriend for the first time. I should've been suspicious when my mom offered to pack my lunch, which she hadn't done in years. As she gave me the brown bag lunch, I remember thinking, "Wow, this bag is stuffed to the brim!" Still, I didn't suspect anything.
I was starving though, so as soon as I got on the plane I got out my brown bag lunch. Most people were still boarding the plane, so I figured I only had about 10 minutes or so to eat before the seat-back trays had to be put back into its secured position. So I tore open my bag to get at my yummy lunch.
That's when about 100 condoms burst out and went flying everywhere.
I guess my mom had decided that instead of ever talking about sex with me, she would give me copious amounts of birth control. This was actually a highly effective form of communication. It told me that:
- She didn't care if I had sex.
- She did care if I knocked up my girlfriend.
- She didn't want to talk about any of this.
- Finally, she didn't care if I had to crawl around the galley of the airplane on my hands and knees picking up condoms, while other passengers queued up behind me and laughed at me while they waited to board the plane.
It was one of the more embarrassing incidents of my adult life. I wanted to tell people, "It wasn't me... my mommy packed me a brown bag lunch stuffed with condoms without my knowledge!" But that would probably have made the situation even worse. I just pretended to act all nonchalant and like I didn't care as I picked the colored condoms off the floor and returned to my seat.
Did you ever have "the talk" with your parents?

HAHA! Wow.
That's pretty my mom as well, except she will ask me to buy condoms by myself instead
Hahah, that's an interesting story. My parents haven't really given me the talk, I guess they know I know how to handle those kinds of things on my own.
My parents never gave me the talk, they still don't worry about it, even when I bring boyfriends home they don't bother - I had to actually ask my mother to buy me condoms (I already had some but I wanted a good brand) - whereas with my brother they sat him down when he had his first proper girlfriend, bought him condoms and they were upstairs for over an hour. To be honest I felt a bit left out, apparently my sister didn't get the talk either - although my mother was convinced that my sister had slept around from a young age.
And I give you cringe marks 9/10 - I would've died.
Zee.
i got the talk...
with health brochures too.weirdest moment everLOL! I feel so sorry for you. :P
No, my parents never gave me the talk. My mom tried but failed miserably at trying to explain what happens when you get your period to me but it was still a surprise when I got mine. :P I lived though. She also never told me about what happens to boys.
Fail. ha
But it doesn't matter I figured it all out on my own anyway - I guess they just figured if I didn't know how to have sex I never would. Which btw, it was always obvious that they are completely against pre-marital sex.
hahah that is AWESOME
That is awesomely funnny.
But no i never had 'the talk' with my parents, they know i know about sex and birth control, and nothing is said which im happy with :3 Tho i think things might change once i introduce them to my boyfriend.
LOL haha yeah .. they did once I started dating my boyfriend. Every so often, my mom would come into my room and be like "don't let him touch you! You'll melt and forget everything."
I usually counter with "ew, is that what daddy does to you? I don't need to hear!" haha ... what's worse is my grandma gives me this talk when I see her. "Don't ever sleep with a boy! Not good!" -_____-
No. My cousin showed me a book called "its perfectly normal" when I was about 5 or 6 years old which gave me a very general idea of sex and the idea of the eggs getting fertilized. Then I started getting more official and specific knowledge in 5th grade when they taught us in school.
Though one time, when I was 14, my dad was giving me a haircut and he was like "I need to teach you about the birds and the bee's." and I was like "I already know about it." and he was like "Yea but you don't know my version!"
I was scared but thankfully he never told me. lol
I had a book thrown at me that explained it, lol. It was written by christian authors, i guess so my parents could be assured it offered proper views on marriage or something. funny thing is, the drawings in it only served to make me curious as to what real life versions of these drawings would look like. lol. whoops.
No. But once... my mom started talking about anal sex during a car ride to dance class. I couldn't escape.
my DAD gave me the talk winter break of my 1st year of college. SO awkward. he just said "be safe. be careful...you arent? are you?" bahh. and I wasn't having sex. so i just screamed "ahh noo..im not! ahhh" and left.
my parents didnt tell me about girls OR boy stuff...so verrrry surprised on both ends.
this year at college..first year in a sexual relationship, and the guy had to explain LOTS of stuff to me..even girl stuff. haha. but he didnt mind at all. so now NOTHING is awkward between us.
What a nice mom you have.
And nope, never had the talk.
HAHA thats funny!
My parents gave me a book in 8th grade. They said it would explain everything and if I had questions to look it up online. << lol.
Hahaha wow im so sorry for your moment there.
Yes, I had "the talk." My mom has always been very open about talking about sex with my siblings & I.
I haven't.... yet = /
Your mom is awesome! :D
& Yup. Been there done that.
Haha! We have always talked frankly about sex with our son, including the biological aspects of reproduction from a young age. I don't know that we've sat him down and said "this goes here". Do you think we need to? Hmmm. This could be a good blog topic of my own.
lol
haha that sounds just like my friend, but its not his mom, or his "lunch": its him, his pockets, and his horny friends LMAO
but no, my parents haven't given me "the talk" thank godLOl.
Forget the raining cats and dogs.
It's raining CONDOMS!
lol.
i don't remember ever getting the talk...
about 5th grade i started asking questions but i would often get the response, "you don't need to know that right now."
i don't really know for sure, but i'd be willing to bet i learned more about sex from my friends and the media than my parents.
My best friend gave me the talk xD
