Women, can I ask you a question?

I have wondered the same thing. My theory is many of these questions are actually from young boys who just like to use words like "vagina". I have a hard time believing that any female over the age of 9 would ever think she had "vagina hair". When I was in school they taught anatomy and even though I went to an all girls school we knew about the male and female bodies and what the parts were. I have taught both my children about their bodies, and have always believed that when they were old enough to ask a question they were old enough for an age appropriate honest answer.

Yes, we learn a lot at school. In my school we have the puberty talk in the fourth grade (basically they separated the boys and girls for an hour and showed a video and explained the changes in our bodies and all that fun stuff) and then we learned about the opposite gender the next year, the sex talk the next year.

Then from 7-10th grade we have health class, which talks about puberty and sex among other things. Most of the time parents teach there kids about their bodies too. (Most awkward conversations you will ever have)

You probably see a lot of questions because it's embarrassing to ask those types of questions in person. I didn't even tell my own mother I had my period for a year, I just stole her pads and tampons without saying anything, haha! Whoops.

You would be surprised. I was a school nurse for a year and girls would come to me with the strangest beliefs. The film's(I'm dating myself) that schools often show for their puberty class is often the free one that comes from the company that makes Tampax and Old spice deodorant. It is a pathetic price of cheap. It's just a giant commercial. I would usually field question after they would show it. Although I wasn't allowed to answer questions about sex without a permission slip. I would often have to explain menstruation to girls who had their first period in class. I felt so bad for those girls. It didn't embarrass me, but I imagine having to have a 6'1 250 lb 30ish man give you your "talk" while at school was probably not on their list of most fun activities. I don't think the best place to learn about this stuff is in the class room. A one on one talk I think is more helpful. The girls always seemed to be too embarrassed to ask questions in front of their friends.

I learned most things online.Some in health class. Some from my mom.

If I have a daughter Im teaching her.Starting at a young age. (not sex just her body parts).

I think around 11-13 is the best age to tell your child about sex and the how everything works. At least give them the basics before puberty.

I feel bad for the girls who started their period and had no idea what it was because no one told them yet.
