The "talk" comes at a variety of ages. Some children can wait until they are 10 years old before their curiosity peaks, while others want to know the story when they hit 5 years. It all depends on the inner drive to know things, and the parent's willingness to talk about the topic. And as the thread proves, regardless of the age, all variants of the conversation can end in a funny memory.

There's also the inherent benefit of talking to your child about sex (regardless of them being on the younger side). For one, they will grow up with the knowledge of what it means, which will likely ease their trips down puberty lane. Additionally, if parents share their experience with a child, it creates a genuine connection between the two, further driving home the point that it's completely natural and not something to be shied away from.

Childbirth, or the lack thereof, has nothing to do with asexuality. Asexuality is not feeling sexual attraction.

I don't think a child's reaction at 10 to the idea of sex is necessarily how that child will always react to sex. In fact, a child of 10 thinking this sounded like exactly what s/he wanted to do would be more disturbing than one who was put off by it.

Another nurse's kid here. Anatomy book. Color pictures. Medical terminology. By the time she was done (I was ten, I think?) I was ready to vow lifelong abstinence. And that's as a farm kid, and we generally aren't too "sheltered". Nurse-Moms pull no punches!

Unfortunately I had parents who told you nothing about how that worked. Few states if any had any kind of sex education. Some places it was illegal to teach about it or veneral diseases. Air Force basic training was the first so called sex ed. I'm male. This class consisted of showing us (there were about 100 of us in the room) a film about mensturation, then passing around contraceptives (like an IUD, a rubber, diagrhram) while the instructor read word for word out of the basic training handbook.

My parents were doctors, and we had a VHS called 'An Everyday Miracle' showing a baby developing from fertilization to birth. Nothing about intercourse, but we understood sperm meets egg onwards. The actual sex part seemed much less interesting.

I remember thinking that you purchased babies when you went to the pediatric ward at the hospital - you know, when they have them all lined up in little see through incubators? And sometimes you would see the "shoppers" (parents) outside the glass as the nurse would lift one of the babies up to show them and they would smile and wave at it and then she would put it back in its little crib. I thought that was just salesmanship. And I distinctly remember my Mom telling me my brother was $7 more than me because he had to be circumsized. (I was about $35).

My mom and dad gave me a book, Where did I come from. My girlfriend and I would flip through it and laugh and she had a book about ancient Greece that had naked people in it. One day one of our friends wrote a note and stuck it in her bag, it said "Bring naked people book tomorrow." Her mom found it when I was over at her house and said "Ok girls no more naked people books!"

When my nephew was about 4 and I was pregnant he asked where babies came from I told him to ask his parents. Then he asked how they get out? And if my son was going to rip through my belly. I said no they don’t do that. Ended up having a c-section so that was fun to explain.

I did not care or think about where babies come from at all as a kid, which is odd because I'm normally very curious and like to theorize about stuff. Anyway, then when I was 10 my dad took me out and had "the talk". I was very taken aback and just sat there like "umm... okay...?". I learned about periods a little later, and other bits and pieces fell into place over then next few years.

When it was the end of the final year of Primary School, all the girls were invited, along with only female relatives, to a talk about periods. I don’t remember but afterwards, I asked my mum, “do you do that?” (Meaning have a period). She said yes and apparently I then paused to consider this and said rather seriously, “I don’t think I’ll bother.” My mum wouldn’t tell me why it was so funny xD

My son got progressively more details on the matter (in response to his own questions) and when he was about 6 he wanted to know "Okay, but HOW does the sperm get to the egg?" I had no choice but to break the news, and his response was to say, "Ew...that's gross." before leaving the room to go play with his toys.

When I learned that babies come from mummy's belly through vagina, I checked everytime I was on the toilet, whether I dropped a baby down there. I was 3 or 4. When my mum found out, she explained that the baby must grow in the womb for some time before it gets out. I learned the "full story" including sex around 6 years and similarly to the stories above I was shocked and couldn't understand how people could do this voluntarily. My kids are 5 and 3 and know very well how do babies come to the world,they know what a period is and why it is, but they haven't asked how do babies get into the womb yet. I am kinda curious about their reaction.

When I was in high school I used to babysit for a family, little girl was 2, I went away for my first year of college and during that time they added another little girl to the family. While I was home I would babysit for them as needed. One night I got the baby settled and was playing with the toddler and she begins to wail and hold her stomach. I thought she had a stomach ache so I'm asking questions to see where it hurts when she tells me 'I have a big baby growing in my uterus!'
