I learned all this valuable information back in the 1950’s with absolutely no sex education! Probably until about the time I started school, I thought when people wanted a baby, they went to the hospital and picked one out from a collection there. Those that were not chosen grew up to be doctors and nurses.
The sex of the baby was determined by the way the parents dressed it and fixed its hair.
After I noticed pregnancies, I drew some conclusions. The unborn baby breathes through the mother’s naval. If she submerged, it will suffocate.
Before I found out about sex, I thought women had babies because they had breasts, sort of like, “which came first, the chicken or the egg?”
When a friend enlightened me on the “facts of life,” I didn’t believe her. I told “That’s stupid! Nobody would do THAT!”

Interesting!

You must have had a better library than we did. Besides in the 60’s I’d have never gotten it by the librarian.

It was about 1990 that I’m talking about. The books were right on the shelf for anyone to grab but they were back in a corner of the library. Easier for me to grab them, lol. Though, it was way more than just the facts of life.

How I learnt about such things I do not know but somehow I did, there was a learn about your body night held at the school when I was in year 6 that me and mum went to, I remember that but not what was talked about and there was some sex education classes in high school but really I remember none of it.

No, but I always heard of it. Did your mom send off for that little book from Kotex? Mine didn’t.

Our teacher gave each of us a copy. If I remember correctly, it was called “You’re a young lady now.”

Too funny. I wasn’t told about the facts of life, hell my mother didn’t even tell me about my period. But there were plenty hints and some not so subtle on TV. What I saw didn’t interest me. :)

On Tv we see way to much, these days kids now way more than they hould way to early.I think that’s also where they learn aggressive behavior towards women if their parents aren’t involved with them setting them straight on what is reality.
