you lot are making the research on my desk look interesting. and that research is about a tenant's rights if a landlord steamrollers in and carries out upgrades to a building without communicating them to the tenant. that is how bad you are.
now for chrissake pull your socks up. as sex seemed to get you going yesterday, let's ask:
how old were you when you found out what it was? who told you? did it scar you for life? of course in the cases of SOME PEOPLE, these questions are yet to be answered, but most of you should be ok.

i don't remember being told, but i do remember marauding into the lounge with a fistful of tampax when i was about 5 and announcing to my parents' guests that they would come in "jolly useful" (i loved the 'famous five') if anyone had a nosebleed.
i also remember the film they showed us of a woman giving birth when i was 11. until that point it had never occurred to me that there would be blood. or pain. so much pain. and blood.
best. contraception. ever.

that she explained everything when i was about 5 and i seemed fairly nonplussed. what she didn't realise was that my little brother, who was 3 and as nosy as they come, was earwigging. halfway through unloading the shopping onto the conveyor belt at sainsburys, he announced thoughtfully, "mummy, has that bulb dropped out of your front bottom yet?"

My poor tiny brain couldn't cope with attempting to work out where to begin. I actually spent time doing the job I'm being paid for. Let's never speak of it again.
For me, sex was one of those intangible mysteries, like pornography or an 18-certificate film back when such things were regulated, that everyone seemed to talk about and a few claimed to have experienced first-hand, but I had no knowledge of, or opportunity to gain the same. I blame my education at an all-boys' school, which robbed me of both the chance to meet women - any women, at all - and anything resembling a shred of self-confidence. Oh, and my own natural hideousness. Obviously.
