My situation was mostly born out of necessity. I grew up in an extremely conservative area, and sex education was taught by teachers who either turned beet red or had to stifle a fit of the giggles after saying the words penis or vagina. My parents never had "the talk" with me. I knew nothing other than the basic mechanics of sex and the admonition that sex before marriage was a sin when I went off to college.
So...my two best friends and I exchanged information with each other, as we all started having sex about the same time. Most of our discussions involved "am I doing this right?" or "is this supposed to happen?", because we really were all pretty clueless; I don't think either of them had discussions about sex with their parents either.
We don't talk about sex as much as we used to, and we don't involve the personal information we used to, because we all have life experience that doesn't require it anymore.
