I’ve never heard a vagina called a "zizi" before. Where did that name come from? I had a similar reaction when my mother told me. Needless to say, my point of view hasn’t changed much;)

Ok… that’s hilarious. I love that tactic of sitting your kid in the back seat to avoid eye contact. All I can say is that I never had that particular talk with my mother and thank god because, to be honest, I think it would have scared me for life. I think it was just always understood that I knew? I was told by my best friend at the time on the bus ride home from a sporting event. I think I was 8 at the time. Its not one of my more pleasant childhood memories I have to say. I don’t think a kid is ever ready to hear the birds and the bees talk. Xx Bianca

Ha, I didnt have ‘the talk’ with my mother until about 3 years ago….at 19 :/ It came up in conversation and she asked if I had any questions! Besides the fact the talk at this point was a little late, I found it rather amusing she still turned bright red and was oddly serious!

From the guy’s side of the fence, my dad sat me down and had "the talk" when I was about nine.  Later that day my older brother and his best friend came running up to me with these goofy grins and asked, "So what did Dad tell you?"  I remember relaying his explanation to them, hearing myself saying it aloud and thinking I must have been explaining it wrong.  Turns out I wasn’t; it just sounded strange to a nine-year-old the first time around. ;-)   

My mother didn’t talk to me about anything sexual about boys or men. If a girl’s father doesn’t talk to her about men, then growing up, she becomes sexually ignorant and naive.  Been there, done that. 

ok i am a little creeped out . luckily i dont remember my parents ever giving me any kind of talk- i must have blocked it out!

as a mom to 5 sons and an RN… the boys’ dad was uncomfortable with the subject.. so pretty much just laid it out as a health subject.  Sometimes I would wait until we were on the highway, driving fast; captive audience then.  Told them I had heard that they were having health in school and thought they needed straight talk.  I got them books about boys and girls… told them they should check it out.. And just chose a subject.. After the first two "chats" told them to feel free to ask..  and had some interesting conversations… Gave them all condoms in their school pack when they left for college.. and yes, had a talk about how important it was to have your first sexual experience with someone you truly cared for..  .
