Nah ironically that was my mother, she insisted on teaching all of us children the art of placement on a banana, it was cringe inducing even now, but I've never put one on incorrectly so job done.
I can't really specifically remember being talked to about masturbation, but I do remember having the sex talk. Didn't play any role in my addiction though. I never even masturbated until I was 19.
I never got "the" talk. I do remember there being a talk about girls' periods (can't remember any of the contents though), which was spurred by something on TV where some kids were trying to figure out what a tampon was or something. I don't think anything would have made a difference to porn and masturbation, but maybe.
I was 11 years old at the time. I imagine that the reason why my parents told me that was because of my older brother having a pregnancy scare when he was caught humping his girlfriend in the basement. I was out skateboarding at the time and i didn't know about it until a week later.
Yeah they tend to do that for some reason. I just wish that would have done that to my sister. She really needed it.
I don't care so much for the "sex talk". I think it's more important for parents to talk about self control, and the dangers of uncapped bodily satisfaction. It's not only the sexual desire that can be dangerous.
My parents didn't tell me anything and I used to hold a grudge against them and felt like they did me a disservice, especially when I first started on nofap. I don't feel that way anymore though. I wouldn't change a thing. They let me make my own mistakes but I found the right way in the end and I'm happy and proud that I was able to stop objectifying women and using pmo on my own. I really want to have kids one day and I really don't know how to approach this. My parents also never showed affection towards one another in any way which I don't think helped my perception at a young age (they love each other they just aren't super intimate people it's not bad or their fault they are good parents). At the very least if I don't have the sex talk, I will show sincere affection towards my wife in their presence so they will understand healthy mutual love. I will probably have the sex talk with them though. Especially for males, it's better to stop the problem before it begins and porn makes kids vulnerable at a young age. Still, I want them to have freedom and find their own way. I don't know it's hard to find a balance it depends on the type of people your dealing with and is very much a case by case situation Imo
I don't recall ever getting a talk about sex or masturbation. I remember my mom telling me about her brothers' Playboys, and how back then women had pubic hair and that made the photos somehow tasteful, less crass. I do recall her having some health book and quoting me the facts about penis size. Interesting that I developed all kinds of insecurities about sex, but never about penis size. It's not likely I would have worried about that anyway, but it's interesting that the insecurities developed in the areas that had no discussion.
I got a super clinical, biological version of sex but we never discussed it outside that one time. Sex was taboo in my family, so I ended up learning a lot more from comparing notes with my siblings.
Damn, I wish I had the talk because whenever I had the talk about drugs and alcohol, I never even got close to doing them. I wish we would get educated on this kind of topic because schools nowadays never even cover the dangers of porn and masturbation which would've saved me but no, I ended up addicted to this shit for 3 years until discovering this forum. Thank god I found this forum at age 15. That means I'll make the rest of my teenage years (if not, the rest of my life) amazing.
