when i was young and innocent and not very well informed a delinquent peer screamed 'セックス!!!' and i said 'what is セックス?'

(i thought that was something that i shouldn't ask but wanted to be in a group)

later on, i asked my cousin what is sex and she said that don't ask that question, you know what it is

i was 9 or 10 years old

around the age of 11 or 12, there was a sex education class and my teacher told me how an egg and sperm become a baby (sorry for my poor expression)

i got that how that works but the question was how to get sperms. i have my eggs but how can you get sperms? are they floating in the air?

i asked that question to my mom

THE ⭐️ END

Can't say I knew everything about sex when I was a kid, but I feel like I knew a bit more.
At 7-8 I understood sex was something special and private that happened between a man and a woman, and I knew it was connected to making a baby.
As a boy, I also somehow knew, maybe by instinct, that it had something to do with the penis.
By age 12, I was definitely exposed to porn, so I had a clear enough picture.

Thing is, I never had anyone to explain sex to me. And by the time we had "sex ed", as part of Biology class, all I was really missing was some anatomy details.
I kinda managed to pick up things from TV, movies, shows, bits and pieces of info gathered from all over the place and stitched together. I even understood that having sex without preservatives is a big no no.

My personal experience, of just how few sex talks I was given (basically zero), and yet I managed to gather the important information, leaves me completely flabbergasted of how America has a massive teenage pregnancy problem that is attributed to kids having a lack of information about sex.
