I just realized that most of my early sex education came from reading the likes of Jack Whyte, Harry Turtledove, Piers Anthony, Geroge R.R. Martin. And lots of others I can't think of. You usually wouldn't think it seeing the quiet kid in the corner reading his book about wizards and dragons, but a fair number of those books are filled with graphic sex and general smut, Piers Anthony in particular. The funny thing is that some of that stuff actually comes in handy in real life. Not the magic part mind you.
 
My parents took the responsibility about teaching me what sex was. They talked to me and bought me a tasteful cartoon book on what happens when mommy and daddy love each other very much. lol. I think I still have that book somewhere. :P

Maybe kids are sexually immature and irresponsible when they learn from magazines, comics, or movies. I don't know if there's any correlation but it seems possible. Just throwing that out there. :D
 
They're not all necessarily trashy, but Turtledove does write pretty graphic sex scenes into his stories.
 
I tried reading Piers ANthony years ago ..the sex scenes were what turned me off his books ..they were not arousing in the least ..not that I want that out of a sci-fi book

Edward Rice Burrough's John Carter of Mars books were trashy fun as were John Norman's Gor books ..but they were mostly pulp fiction so it actually fits the genre
 
Piers Anthony isn't very graphic in detail, but just generally trashy and full of cheap thrills. He also churns out books like a factory.
 
a lot of my sexual education came from watching porn :)
 
I got mine from an old 80's video that exemplified the terms.

example: One substance is called SEMEN, a white and MILKY liquid from the PENIS.

I was in the 5th Grade. It was terrible. :x

sigged!
I seriously, literally, and no bars held, roffled. Like, on a floor. with dust. laughing.
 
I learned that most Scifi/Fantasy authors don't mention it. The only one I've read that described it in detail was Wilbur Smith (in his two egyptian ones, which I consider fantasy because they're sorta ambigeously real), and even then he was describing it in a 'not-describing-it' kinda way.
 
I really cant remember when I learnt it from.......
 
I imediatly lose respect for any book that has sex imposed for the sake of having sex/selling more books.
 
i was one of those people who was just obsessed with sex from very early on. i was in one of those groups who were sexually active pretty early, and pretty much everything socially revolved around it.

i'm not sure exactly how i learned, i guess just from friends and TV. sex and the city baby!

Someone must of hit you with a phasor set on stunning.
 
There's this literary award given out every year - by whom and what it's called I forget - for the worst, most cringeworthy sex scene in a book released that year.
I remember one "winner" describing a woman's hand moving towards her lover's penis to Scott's expedition to the South Pole...
 
Walked in on parents.
That pretty much summed it up.
I still do it from time to time.
 
I had sex ed in school ALL THE TIME when I was a kid. It became boring (im not kidding)...

Other than that, I have to thank the all mighty Internet for a lot.
 
In 7th grade we watched a video demonstrating how to fit a condom using a banana. For the next two weeks my parents where astonished at the rate of which I devoured bananas.
