My mom never had the "talk". I learned from my boyfriend when I was in high school. One night we were making out it was time for me to go home and he said something about jacking off later. (Sorry for the crude term). I was very naive and asked what that meant. He explained it to me on the drive home. That night I explored myself. I don't think its wrong. But thanks to this thread my fiance and I sat down and talked about when we should talk to our kids about it. Its not something I ever thought about doing but I would rather them hear it from me than some one else. So thank you very much for starting the thread.
