I'm not a fella, but I was taught the birds & the bees.
My parents were very open and honest about sex. They encouraged us to ask any questions we had.
They never tried to teach me to wait till marriage, just to wait till I was with someone I loved who I felt respected me.
They taught me about safe sex and that pleasing your partner is just as important as them pleasing you.
All the women in my family had open discussions about sex. My grandmother even told me about the guy she lost her virginity to (and what kind of car it was in, so I guess that 50s stereotype is true!) All of us women would even go skinny dipping together every year.
I was taught to never feel ashamed about sex and that my sex life was my own business, just to be safe and do what makes me happy.
I asked tons of questions and had tons of conversations about sex.
I was encouraged to look at my own vagina in the mirror, to learn about my body, etc.
I also had a good amount of sex education in my school system and read a lot about anatomy, etc.
