The point at which parents want you to have sex.

My Dad told me that my Mum was really happy when I got a girlfriend at 18 because she thought I might be gay.

Try being Asian. I'm not even allowed to utter the word sex while at home...

What's wrong with being gay?

Does anyone else have parents who don't ever talk about sex but then they turn out to be pretty sexual themselves?

I really don't think the birds and the bees convo is necessary because I believe people educate themselves on this type of stuff through ageing and common sense. I mean growing up from 10-12 I'd say by watching tv shows and stuff is where'd I familiarised myself briefly with 'sex'. Not a hard concept to take in it's always referenced on South Park, family guy, adult appropriate movies etc. Although I probably shouldn't have been watching family guy or South Park when I was 10.

Having an actual conversation still seems like a good idea to me. There's plenty of misinformation and stupid attitudes towards sex on the internet and in society in general.

Okay for some people I guess but im glad it never happened to be, seems far too awkward and cringy even thinking about it.

You know what's even more awkward and cringy? Teenage pregnancy.

At 12 my mom (piece of worthless whit that she is) declared that if I got pregnant then she'd kick me out and that she'd better not find 'toys' in my room.
I didn't even know about vaginas at this point! DX

Still virgin 5 years later XD

I grew up in a very open household, I brought my children up in an open household and has meant they are very comfortable in coming to me with any problems/concerns....they still get embarrassed/eeky at the thought of any of the older members of the family having sex though!

My parents are 74 and almost 76 and still talk to all and sundry about their sex life. Their funniest reaction was from a doctor in the stroke unit when dad asked when it would be ok to resume activity, apparently it's not a question they get asked that often in that unit and the doctor didn't know how to respond and had to get their superior to deal with it.

The reply?

"Perfectly fine but try not to move around too much"

My mum's reply

"My dear, at our age, nothing moves around too much anyway!"

...not really. You could argue that incest producing children is morally wrong, because there's a higher than usual chance of deformities and genetic conditions. Apart from that, though, nothing wrong with it besides moral codes which date back from the time women were counted as much as people as sheep were.

I completely agree with this, I think the 'talk' is completely unnecessary.

My mums not prude as such, but I wouldn't like to hear about her sex life so I extend her the courtesy of not hearing about mine!
