There is this thing called INSTINCT.It is not necessary that everything has to be told.Sexual urge is the most primal urge along with other things like courting the female, and hunting for food.
No one taught a baby how to breathe,right?He just learned ot breathe on his own.Similarly,at age 14,the sexual urge starts to show and since marriage was pretty much the kind of visa for sex in those days,men did what they needed to do.But women did not know beyond this-about conception,and delivery etc.Mother would tell a girl only so much because most of the times,girls were married very young,when even of they were told,they would not understand properly.
That is why traditions like a girl going to her husband's house after puberty if the girl was married before that, going to mother's place for delivery,etc came up.Hope this answers your question.

Back then, most things were done at home and more natural, for example child birth and breast feeding. Girls usually got to see their mom breast-feeding and caring for the younger children. As far as kids learning about sex. This information should still come from family first, not from TV, movies, or the Internet!

From talking to older people in my family, it seems that they just didn't have a clue! They just learned as they went along. Some were married & pg at 14yo & didn't even know how the baby was going to come out!
Girls today have so much more info than they did 60 years ago!

Back then a lot of girls had no idea what to expect on their wedding night. They just kind of learned as they went. My mother-in-law told me that she had no idea of why she was getting pregnant after she got married. She was newly pregnant with her 3rd child and when the Dr. told her the news she burst into tears and asked him why this kept happening to her. So he had to explain to her how she was getting pregnant. He was totally shocked, he thought she was having her pregnancies so close together because she wanted a lot of kids. When he realized she didn't want to be pregnant all the time he taught her about birth control, she stopped having kids after that 3rd baby.

actually back in the old days the mothers rarely talked to their daughters about sex or anything for that matter they kinda had to learn everything the hard way and it was expected of them to get married and have children and take care of the family because thats just the way things were back then.We have alot more resources now and i think parents talk to their children more now than they ever did then.

I have already answered your other q.
Nature usually takes care of such things, but it looks like you are too much isolated. You lack general support that most your age have, in a way that is good, street knowledge is not all correct. People learn from failures or mistakes also.
Information from parents is very individual issue, it is also a cultural issue.

the bond was between mother and daughter. However, in those days, sex was the sole right of men. Women were having no choice over style, frequency, time and climaxing the women was unheard of. Women were only submitting and men were to oblige her...

Just think how animals learns to have sex. Does anyone teaches them. man is nothing but a two legged animal. They are gifted with a brain that always knew that is to be done, but how was probably an adventure.

I think people back then where not as sexually active and stuck with that one partner and everyone didn't sex everyone else, so STDS weren't flying around then like they are now. So the mums probably said no sex or kids til marriage
