Who, your M…yeah, you’re right.

Had a pretty decent primary school run down on the ol’ sexy times. Remember an even more in depth discussion at secondary school including a Fuzzy Bunny style video (could’ve been Bobby Winston’s documentary actually) and a book with a lot of detailed pics of genitalia.

Remember rinsing my m9 and being all ‘bet you don’t even know where the clitoris is la’ when we were 14 or so and he was like ‘yeah I do, it’s on page 52’.

Still? The book doesn’t do a lot for me anymore.

FUCK NO!

Not very much if I recall correctly.

My Mum bought me a really lame book (which felt like it was aimed at kids younger than me) that confirmed everything I already knew but told me nothing new.

A few years later I bought myself this

Wish I still had my copy.

No no no noooo no. My parents were quite old when they had me (I was definitely not planned) so the thought of either of them even broaching the subject gives me the fear. Vaguely remember asking my mum what a condom was when they were filling some with water in an episode of Degrassi Junior High. She didn’t tell me.

Did anyone else have to watch this?

The only time my parents ever acknowledged it was after a girl’s mum had caught me inside her daughter and managed - I forget how - to obtain my landline and explain to my parents the following day what had gone on. She probably left out the part where she punched me repeatedly in the face.

Were you in an episode of ‘Eastenders’ or something?

Not from parents, no.

Home counties primary school was good about this in year five/six. We had a six part video series which was probably produced by the BBC we had to watch, which was mostly about puberty and growing up.

Early episodes were with a family of nudists. Episode four was paused halfway through and the boys were dismissed back to our classroom from the video room and told about ‘nocturnal emissions’, and the girls arrived later on with goody bags of sanitary products. Episode five showed live video of a birth. And episode six was the sex one, which was all demonstrated through cartoons.

Surprisingly liberal, really.

GET AHT MY DORT-AH!

explain the logistics were you naked and had to get some clothes on while punches rained down or did you just pick up yor clothes and leave, or did you try and explain?

I was watching Heartbreak High and the word “virgin” kept on coming up in conversation so I asked my Mum “Mum, what’s a virgin” and the moment she said the word sex I ran out of the room screaming.

Sooo yeah, she tried! I wasn’t having any of it.

now i think back, we had a pretty great sexual education lesson in Science in year 7. I recall the teacher just going ‘right, ask me anything’ and was subsequently barraged with ‘sir, what’s a blow job’ etc and to his credit he answered most of it well

No thank christ, I would have cringed myself inside out! I’m old enough to have learned about it from faded pages of porn mags stashed in hedgerows.

and to this day, my mum still keeps telling me to use contraception.

and during my extremely awkward and volatile teen years, she would (much to my frustration) say stuff like ‘ffs just go have a bonk’ or ‘calm down, you just need a good bonk’

always with the bonk

You don’t hear much about bonking these days do you? Bloody Brexit.

French bureaucrats removed the word ‘bonk’ with their laws.
