    Oh, I 100% agree and I love my mother for that and many other things she did where she went above and beyond to prepare me for life. Still, that was…something.

      Having an awkward talk awkwardly: ew. Having an awkward talk openly: also ew.

      Good for your mother, though. I imagine you learned from her what many of us learned from the internet, books, media, peers, partners, and other sources.

        Getting sex ed and intercourse tips from my mother was horrifying, but it saved me from many mistakes. Not all, but many.
