The Facts Of Life?

Back, in the very early 1950s, my father turned up, on leave from the RN, and asked me out for a walk down the Prom at our seaside home.

I think he'd been set up, by my mother, to do the job - which was to explain, to me, the facts of life. She may have heard the lads talking or maybe she found one of those girly mags hidden!

He wasn't very good at it as he simply told me to "Keep it Clean & watch what you do with it".

He was much more embarrassed than I was.

But it was good advice - I think.

Some OFF posters may have more comprehensive tuition?

Re: The Facts Of Life?

I wasn't told the facts of life by my parents, I sort of found out myself. Apart from learning about it in Human Biology lessons at school it became common sense where it went, how long the squelching lasted for and when to remove it

Re: The Facts Of Life?

You didn't discuss things like that in our house.

We were given a book The 15+ Facts of Life when we asked where babies came from. We were a damn sight younger than 15 and it was way over our heads.

There's no point putting it over your head, surely that's not right at all

Re: The Facts Of Life?

When I was twelve I asked my mother and she told me.

With sketches she drew as she explained. But more than the mechanics she also explained mature relationships and where, when, and why sex became an item.

I'd been hearing bits and pieces at school and had parents with whom anything could be discussed. I guess I was lucky.

I do remember my first though. It's something a person never forgets.

Re: The Facts Of Life?

There are no facts, its all supposition, that is the beauty of it.
