A short conversational transcript (YouTube #shorts) in which two speakers discuss how they learned about sex growing up. They report a lack of parental guidance and describe learning through self-experimentation, friends, and locker-room talk; the speakers emphasize that sexuality is innate and often treated with shame, which discourages open discussion.

When you were growing up, how'd you learn about sex? Who told you about it?
Self experimentation?
Friend?
No.
Yeah.
Yeah. Friends? Yeah, yeah.
Not your parents?
Locker room? Yeah. No, not my parents. No. Never had the birds and the birds and the bees conversation? No. It was all just fumbling my way through it, learning from my own experience and mistakes and friends.
The reason why I asked that is because it's such an important innate thing for us as a human being, and sexuality is part of who we are and something and joyful, and that's how we came about anyway. But yet it's something that is so shameful that is not discussed that it. You have to kind of, you know, wiggle your way through, find out through your own, either through friends or like you said, experimentation.
