Remember When You First Learned Where Babies Come From?

[deacon blues]

I'm writing in a honest, open, frame of mind here. I apologize if I offend or embarrass anyone.

I actually only have a vague memory of when I learned where babies came from, it was probably a slow realization between age 7-9. I think I was, like many/most kids, at first the whole thing sounded gross, and a typical thought was "Did my Mom and Dad really do that?-- Ugh!!"
Girls were still weird and mysterious when I was that age, but like most boys, I came to see them as interesting, then appealing, then mesmerizing.

I bring this up because I remember thinking same sex relations were gross. When I read "Everything You wanted To Know About Sex, But Were Afraid To Ask", I skipped the Homosexual sections- this was 1970 folks.

I bring this up because as a heterosexual, I initially found the idea of LGBTS relations gross. PDA's by guys were annoying. Lately I have noticed little to no irritation. Maybe I have just become acclimatized to the idea.
Anyone have similar or different experiences?

I had bi experiences in the 70s.

I remember the public pressure to conform.
