Let's see - -learning about sex from your peers -- what'd I hear when I was young -- you can't get pregnant if you do it standing up, you can't get pregnant if you jump around afterwards, you never get pregnant your first time. Lockerroom talk about who did what to whom when... most of which is made up crap... Porn? Hardly realistic.
Parents have a responsibility to educate their children with the facts about sex, and to do it honestly. If they are uncomfortable doing so, tough shit, they should not have become parents. It's their job to do so, especially at a young age.
That being said, I'm 2 days away from 40 years old, and I'm still waiting for my mother to have the talk with me - last time I brought it up, I got a don't be fresh from my mother
