youdontknowme And even with the persons, an option like "teacher" could have entirely different meanings depending on whether it happens in class or in a cleaning supply cabinet.

ok, i didn't even think about that haha 🤣

    Angelina i can only give one answer but i have been educated by several people

    Sorry, I don't know how to set it to give multiple answers.

    youdontknowme incredibly wide net to cast

    You are right. Therefore, anyone who wants to can describe this in more detail in a post.

    youdontknowme And even with the persons, an option like "teacher" could have entirely different meanings depending on whether it happens in class or in a cleaning supply cabinet.

    I didn't realize it could be misunderstood that way.
    My biology teacher, for example, did a great job. He had, despite advanced age, no problems to explain it correctly (not show 😉 ). And he offered an afternoon where a gynecologist friend was also present, where you could ask any questions.

    The rest was media. From the "Bravo", "Playboy", the advertising at night on Sport1 to CD-Roms full of pictures. And at some point, of course, the Internet.
    I'd say "media" fits pretty well, wouldn't you?

    It is interesting to note that (as of today) none of the parents have been enlightened.

      To much sources to me 😀. School at biology, parents about period, hygiene, gyno visits, porn, abuse and agreement (but never about masturbation, anal, oral and generally sex), friends, internet (forums, wikipedia, porn, sites for teen, ...), my own experience, ...

      I believe I got most of my information from educational books.

      Angelina i can only give one answer but i have been educated by several people 🙁

      My answer is all of them. I learned about it at school, I have read about it and have watched porn when I was younger, I have talked about it with my friends and my parents also explained a lot to me, including why my father thinks it was best to keep me belted. Before I had the belt I masturbated a few times, but between the day from which on I had to wear the belt until marriage, I had no experience at all.

        youdontknowme I guess that one would fall under learning by doing, though

        haha 🤣

        Sara2001 My answer is all of them.

        it's the same for me. my father at least explained the consequences to me when i had my first period, i also talked to friends a lot (i took that as an answer because that's where i got most of the information). after i got the belt i also learned a lot about media and i also learned a lot in biology class at school, so it's a mix of everything

          depuis quand sommes-nous passés au français ici dans le forum ? 😂

            To get back to the poll, I had the basics explained in school (biology class) and then some self experimentation followed by learning from doing.

            Angelina thanks to translation programmes i can do that too

            I feel the same way. As long as we stick to the languages that DeepL can translate, everything is fine.

            hanna_anders not great with languages

            I feel the same way. Languages are not my cup of tea. I'm a natural scientist.

            hanna_anders unlike my sister I can’t speak German

            Why does your sister speak German and you don't?

              hanna_anders unlike my sister I can’t speak German. I can speak a little French but I’m not great with languages.

              me neither, even with english i have to think twice. since i travel a lot, i have learned a few words in many languages, but nothing i can brag about. 🙂

              Mr-TM

              one good thing about the modern internet is that even if we are not good at foreign languages, we can communicate with each other. 🙂
