Haha, yeah, certain encyclopedia went missing for a while before we got the internet in my house. We collected our volumes slowly, I think it took 6 years to complete our set. We got to the r volumes by the time I was approaching my teens. R is of course, where information on reproduction/reproduct ive organs would be.

Commodore 64! We had one of those and I sometimes wish I still had it. We got ours used and I recall being fascinated by the idea of the modem. We never used it, though. :/ less

There was no internet when I was an adolescent. Well, maybe some nerds at University of Chicago, with a phone modem connected to a Commodore 64, talking to one person in Japan or something like that. But, no internet as we know it now.

I actually would take Encyclopedias out of the library to learn about sex and birth control. Our family didn't have the money for Encyclopaedia (despite the fact that my father worked in academia) so I would use them at the library to get the info I needed.

That, and my dad's secret stash of Porn in the attic, he thought I didn't know about. How stupid did he think I was? less

Do you have children? Specifically do you currently have children that are adolescents and have you started talking with them about sex?

My goal here is generally to find out who has adolescents and at what level are you communicating with them. It's a little tricky to figure out all the possible poll combinations so feel free to add comments.

Yay! Another person who grew up with a Commodore 64! We didn't have a modem though.

My son asked THE question a couple of weeks ago, he'll be 5 in December. He has been telling me lately quite often that he wants to be a girl. I asked him why he felt that way, one of the reasons he gave me was that he wants to have a baby in his belly. (Two of my sisters are pregnant.) I explained to him that boys do not have the special organ (he's been obsessed with anatomy for over a year now) called a uterus that babies live in while they are inside of their mommies. I did tell him that I will love and support him no matter what and he should be who he wants to be and all of that as well. Well, my boyfriend said he can only put them there. I shot him a look because I knew the "why" was next. I know it's something that is bound to come up since I do have two pregnant sisters and he's a very curious child. We didn't have time for an explanation since he had to leave for school and he hasn't brought it up since. I'm formulating my plan though for next time! less

I don't have children, but I will say that talking openly about sex when I was young--even if it was in the most basic, child-friendly manner possible--would've saved me a lot of grief throughout my youth. I definitely intend to keep my children aware at an age-appropriate level. less
