They never did.
They handed me a book when I got my period and left me alone with it.
Nothing about the birds and the bees at all.
So I had to try and not look shocked when our year 8 science teacher started talking about "penetration".
He's banging on about muscular reactions and all this stuff while I'm quietly freaking out and thinking "Oh my God, you mean it actually goes INSIDE me? How the hell...???!!"
Luckily I was never as embarassed as he was. Our poor science teacher...one of maybe 4 male teachers...in an all girls high school....

Well, they had an akward conversation about sex. It was just about sex but they used the term "intercourse". Pretty much they told me don't come around here with no babies at the end of it. I was 14 at the time so I was a bit old for that. I told them I would never even consider having sex with someone of the opposite sex because I did not want to be a parent at that age. Then we got into an even more akward conversation about homo-sexuality and God. Very strange.

I never got the talk from my parents. My step brother told me when I was about 8 or 9 and then school did again at about 11 or 12.

I was six.
They sat my older brother and I down in the living room and get this, put on an instructional video. I remember watching with avid amusement as I didn't have a clue what was going on. After the video they read birthing books to us while showing pictures.
I remember this quite well. I got on the school bus the next day and I started talking about it to this kid I sat next to. I couldn't stop laughing as I thought it was all a joke. I found the whole thing so amusing that I couldn't even stop talking about it in class. Took me all of ten minutes to get sent to the principals office.

We didn't get a speech. We just got to watch while our female dog was getting "bred". I can still remember Mom holding that short little male dog up behind our much larger female. It was disgusting!
Then she says, "And sticks his weiner inside hers and that's how puppies are made".
That's it. That's all we got. The weiner words. We later figured out what we had to do if we wanted babies later in life. As a young boy, I was completely grossed out!!!
Should that have been a clue to my later life choices??????hahaahhaaha

I didn't get the speech, just some sort of relationship book thrown onto my bed that made no sense to an innocent 15 yr old.

SORTA/ NOT REALLY
i wouldn't call it birds and bees. My mom told me about it in 5th grade, when we were going over that subject. (but not really the whole sex subject. more like girls stuff) she bought me tampons and pads and everything (5th grade here) but i didn't get my period till 8th grade (the end).
just thought you might want to know....
but she did find a book she gave my sister (who is 13 years older than me) yeah. It had some pretty different stuff in it.
