I have asked probably 100 adults in roughly my age range if, as teenagers, their parents ever talked to them about sex and literally only one person has ever said yes.

I can concur on this point.

Back in the olden daze, it was taught in school.

I had already understood by around age 8 by reading medical books.

Why those books existed in my childhood home remains a mystery to me to this day.
