I think it was my wife that finally cleared up the details for me. Mom's talk consisted of telling my stepfather to hand me a cartoon book called "Where Did I Come From". He did and added, ever-so-wisely, "Umm, don't get caught with a girl - it could be embarrassing".

Not much later I did, and I wasn't really. We hadn't gotten very far. Got caught by her mom after school. 10 minutes later would have been WAY more embarrassing.

By the time I was old enough to be getting proper talks, mom and stepfather were way deep into fundamentalist baptist dogma. Another one of the groups very practiced at properly brainwashing women and children into submissiveness.
