I learned from my best friend, who got her intel from her older brother. I dutifully passed on all that I knew to my fascinated younger siblings, using barbie dolls for demonstration.
My parents found out about our new favorite subject and corrected us on some of the mechanics, but more or less I, my best friend, and her brother had it right.
The Barbies didn't. Though they did have a lot of sex from that point forward using their less than adequate equipment.
I don't think it was too soon, or that I developed an unnaturally early interest in sex, or that I was too stupid to realize that there was a remarkable correlation between my mom's sudden lack of a belly and (yet another) sibling.
Are Republican children that stupid? Sorry, sorry, couldn't help it....what I meant to ask is when did ya'll learn about sex?

Sex - 4th grade, from a friend who was the youngest of 9. She even had the low down on gay sex. I knew about penises much earlier. Later that year we had Health Class with Mrs. Bardes who went into great detail about puberty, but not the mechanics of sex.
My repressed, Catholic parents did a good job of sheltering their oldest child. Of course, I did just as good a job of sharing the information with my younger sister.
