How did you learn about sex?

[refujiunderground]

From looking at my mom's nursing books as a kid. Funny because I actually thought that the dick just went into the vagina and stayed there. Didn't know anything about thrusting. Ironic that at that time, I had begun masturbating at the time via humping the floor. Couldn't put two and two together.

Eventually we all cum to the same conclusion, it wood seem...

I figured out gay sex on my own when I was about 6 or 7. I had to be taught straight sex in junior high sex ed class.

My mom never actually had "the talk" with me, and I picked up bits and pieces from friends, cousins, TV, and I filled in some of the gaps myself even if they weren't actually correct.

For example, I used to think that to get a girl pregnant, you had to urinate in her vagina. I knew you stuck your dick in there, but I didn't know how that would do anything lol.

In school, sex-ed basically consisted of, "the human body is dirty and you will get a disease if you have sex," and "A lot of people carry the HIV virus. Even if they never had sex and/or never caught it, they can still be carriers."

Honestly, I don't remember anything positive in sex-ed, it was all wild scare tactics. In 2001 I got the internet at home and learned a lot more positive stuff. It was a welcome change from "You will get every disease in the book if you even think about having sex," "If you masturbate you are a complete pervert and there's something wrong with you," "Being gay is the most deplorable thing imaginable and you're mentally ill," etc.
For a while, even for a few years after I graduated high school, I was thinking I had to just go out with a woman and hide the fact that I was gay. If I came out, everyone in my life would reject me.

My moms and uncles watching movies, like Torch Song Trilogy (1988) or Priest (1994). Reading everything I could on sexuality and all that I feel is encompassed with that. Porn. Sex, with others and by myself.

At first I learned from guys on the block and people at school and my cousins, etc which was from about the fourth grade through the seventh grade. In seventh and eighth grade I learned more from health education in school. I first heard about homosexuals in the seventh and eighth grades and didn't believe I was one because it was wrong and I was good. By high school, I thought liking guys was a phase I was going through and was part curiosity. By the time I graduated from high school I subconsciously knew that I was gay but wouldn't consciously admit it to myself for several more years.

From friends mainly, sex education didn't start until 7th grade, and by then I knew plenty. Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, tv & movies, it's really unavoidable. I think I was maybe 8 or 9 when one of my friends smuggled over his fathers stash of straight porn magazines....hardcore shit. But at that age it either made no sense or was gross. What was this white stuff coming out of this massive hair dick and landing on a woman's face? Someone eating ass? Holy Shit! Adults were some deeply sick people.
My parents are from Sweden, so they had a very different attitude towards sex than the American parents I knew. They both explained where babies come from when my mom was pregnant when I was 6, but it meant nothing to me. However, when I was 10 I saw 4 men having sex in the sand dunes near Provincetown. One couple was fucking doggie style, which looked hideously painful and unsanitary, and the bottom was obviously in agony. Another guy was on his knees sucking his partner off. The only thing that made sense to me was that one guy was being forced to drink piss, which freaked me out. They never saw me, and I ran off fast. Out of breath and terrified, I ran and told my parents what I had seen. To me it looked like something violent. I'll never forget my father choking on his iced tea. My parents were really cool about it and explained as best they could. I'm grateful they never told me anything negative about gays! I swore to myself that I would be a proper adult and never do anything as gross as what I had seen. Of course, that promise died a quick death a few years later (okay, I won't eat ass, but I've done everything else).

Interesting post. Thank you.

I think I learned just about everything from other boys. Adult magazines and early internet porn was often more confusing or estranging than enlightening or enticing. The media gave me questions, other boys gave me answers.

 

[heir-to-the-wind]

Millennials had the advantage of the internet. My generation had only books, forbidden magazines, and other guys to learn from, in an era when sex discussions were taboo.

I'm a preacher's son raised with two younger sisters. Sex, and many other things, were not proper topics for discussion. Just about everything about human bodies was "dirty", "naughty", and "sinful".

Of course, that only aroused my curiosity even more!

I remember playing "Doctor", and "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours", as early as 5 or 6!

Heck! Being "naughty" was just TOO much FUN! Even though I had NO idea what I was doing.

I learned about Sex as most kids did in the 1950s and 60s. Through experimentation behind closed doors, in the woods, back alleys, and furtive conversations out of hearing distance from adults.

Since EVERYONE in the towns we lived in knew who I was, and I didn't always know who They were, I had to be Very careful, even Sneaky about it all.

This was also the times of open locker rooms, and gang showers. If I ever let on that my naked mates might be turning me on, I was TOAST! And, Dead Toast at that!

There were SO many conflicting things going on!

Though I was subversively running around naked, dating girls for "the image", and jerking off with my close buds, I didn't actually have Sex until I was in college, 500mi. away from my family's public!

No wonder I'm as warped as I am! HA!

Well expressed. Experience sounds like mine.

Never talked about it with my parents (who failed big time). Not that much porn around, so I almost learned everything practising with the first boyfriends.
I remember being so goofy disgusted by the very thought of butt fucking! Until some cool older guy introduced me to the wonders of ass licking, fingering and all sort of delights!
Getting older I've been happy to teach some younger ones some tricks. But I'm well aware we always learn, hehe!

I was seven when I saw two classmates wanking each other behind a tree in the school yard. After a few fast strokes, one of the guys tensed up and came. He could not shoot anything, but he was just stood writhing in what looked to me like great pain! It was ecstacy, but I did not understand that.

Later on, I had a go at stroking my dick in the same way that they were doing, and it felt really good. I remember being surprised at how good it was, and I continued for a while, but I don't recall an orgasm. More guys were wanking in the middle of classes, and, indeed, they were sucking each other off in the showers and toilets! What a place school was looking back on it!

But, after a while, maybe a couple of months, I was wanking myself when something happened. I felt this interesting feeling completely overwhelm me. I still did not shoot anything, but it was, looking back now, my first orgasm. I thought had done something wrong and would have to go to hospital for an operation on my dick!. But, of course, nothing was wrong - everything was more than right, and although It tried not to orgasm again, I just could not resist it. It was too enjoyable!

Sucking and fucking followed a little later, and it all seemed quite natural. It was always with sexy male classmates, and I always had such a crush on them.

So I think my story is probably about average. But I have enjoyed all that has happened, and I am glad my parents did not give any sex lectures, it would have been much too embarrassing! Never had the lessons at school - the lessons were from my classmates

Always something erotic about ''teach me.'' A popular song of the 50s was ''Teach Me Tonight''
