I never had "the talk" with my mom, the closest thing was when I had my first boyfriend she told me "don't get pregnant". I grew up in a very conservative area and kids rarely talked about it, just giggled. No sex ed, no anything, so when the time rolled around for me to actually start having sex, I didn't know a damn thing. Yeah, "the talk" is important in my opinion. Even if there is a wealth of knowledge out there, how do you know your child is accessing the right stuff or lies/misinformation? This should come from the parent, not the interenet or next door neighbor kid.
