It's called sex Miso... men and women do it and then they have babies.

(there is no set story of the birds and the bees... it is just a euphamism for "the sex talk with junior").

it's what parents say when they mean they will never tell you about sex, you have to discover it from porn and endless playing around with your first girlfriends lacking all language to properly communicate

I don't think even I

gets turned on by watching birds, even very cute ones screw!

C'mon, people, help MiSo out here. The 'birds' part is so that you can explain the egg. The 'bees' part is to explain fertilization.

I didn't get a talk, but I did get a copy of the classic "Where Did I Come From?" when I was in early elementary school. No, wait, I recall my dad telling me that you can't just penetrate a woman, they have to be wet first. I think that short talk (and that was it) was during high school, while stacking firewood or something.

haha, it's lovely when the other person is more "experienced" than you are, leaving you just that much more lost and embarassed.
i've pulled many a-"wait.... what?!????" before, and probably have many more to encounter.

Charlatan · 09-19-2005, 02:21 PM

I never got the talk... as a result I am still a bit confused.

Woah, I NEVER put that together. It never even came into my mind. The choosing of birds and bees, when seperate species makes alot more sense now though. Thanks!

Ok, that just cracked me up.

On topic, MiSo, I haven't found anything about the actual origins, except that people don't seem to know the exact origins:

The Straight Dope

Some British Guy

I always thought it was just a general "that's the way nature works - eventually your Hoo Hoo Dilly will find its way into some young lady's Cha Cha"...

I think I recall my mom asking me if we needed to have 'the talk', and of course I said No.

MiSo · 09-19-2005, 04:10 PM

i think i can ask just about anyone and they would answer that they've heard the term "birds and bees".

i always thought there was a story associated with it.

Sounds like solid advice, i suppose. i wonder how many people just get a book vs. an actual disscussion.

/wonders why my first post sounds like i'm illiterate...

analog · 09-19-2005, 04:38 PM

I never got any talk of any kind... not wure why, but I didn't...

Anyhow, i've always thought the whole birds and bees thing was a cop-out from having to explain actual intercourse, so they used these stupid alternate explanations to keep from having an actual, frank discussion about sex.

And while you needn't explain the positions and mechanics of sex to a child to explain where babies come from, you can still represent reproduction in a truthful way without being graphic or making up stupid shit about animals who don't reproduce as we do. I've always thought it was stupid because the FIRST inevitable question is, "i came from an egg?"

And the classic follow up... "What's Happening To Me?"
I had thorough parents.
