How do i get avoid "the talk" with my parents?

Question

i really dont want to have the s*x talk with my parents. i already know all about s*x, how its done, stds, condoms, and birth control. how do i telll them i know all this so i can avoid "the talk"

Answer 1

Why avoid it?

If you can talk to them maturely about s*x, and show them how much you know, they will be more comfortable with you going out and having bf's, etc.

s*x is a human function, it's nothing to be embarassed about. If it is to you, you're not quite ready yet...not that you said you were doing it.

But it is true that lots of people think they know, and they really don't. How long do sperm live in the body? Outside the body? How long is the egg viable for? How long before a fertilized egg implants into the uterus? What are the symptoms of trichomiasis in males? What is the failure rate of condoms? What STDs will condoms not protect against?

See what I mean?

Answer 2

I wouldn't avoid it.  Please don't be insulted, but surveys and studies have shown that teens think that they know all about s*x, but when it comes down to it, they are awash with misinformation and plain wrong information.

I know that it's unpleasant and uncomfortable, but it really is necessary.  

Answer 3

Well, there really isn't a way to avoid the talk. I've tried lots of things and I still had the talk even though I know everything.

I'd try saying I was busy doing homework or whatever, not coming when they asked me to, telling them I already knew it, but they just said well now your going to know it again.

So when your parents tell you just shake your head yes, but you have to look at the floor like your listening even though it's going in one ear and out the other.

Sorry, but there is no way out of "the talk"

Hoped I helped

Answer 4

Just tell them you already know about it and would like to save the embarrasing conversation. Tell them if they really want to have it, buy you a book.That's what my parents did to avoid it lol.

Answer 5

why are they threatening you with it? lol, I never had the talk with my parents, not even the birds and bees talk like...where do baby's come from.  Its funny, my parents are intelligent loving caring people.  Just I guess they came from the generation where they were a bit...children were to be seen and not heard so to speak.  So we never talked about any of that stuff.  I remember being taken to a talk at school when I was maybe 7 or maybe even younger and they were talking about babies and they were selling books like "Where do babies come from" and "What's happening to me?" ---like about puberty.  So I read those picture books and I was all good.  And anything else I learnt at school, or from tv, magazines, and my friends.  I guess my parents were too embarrassed themselves to teach me.

  But if the subject comes up, just tell them to stop, that you learnt everything there is to know from school, in human anatomy and s*x ed and stuff, and you would rather spare yourself talking about something so embarrassing and sort of private, with them.

Answer 6

Are you 18 and married, and living on your own, out of your parents' house?? It appears that way from your avatar- but I suspect that's not the case, or you wouldn't have asked this question. You aren't going to be able to avoid your parents' talking about s*x with you- and you need to get over your embarrassment about it. s*x is part of life- and being ignorant about it and about the way your body works is going to lead to nothing but trouble, and your parents are smart enough to recognize this. So you have had some instruction in school- but that doesn't mean you were told the complete truth, or even given accurate information. It isn't going to kill you to listen to what your parents have to say, because it may turn out that they know things which never came up during your classes at school. Your parents have a duty to see that you get educated about s*x and reproduction, and this is how they have chosen to fulfill it.

You need to treat this time as an additional learning experience, and a chance to find out what your parents' views are on subjects such as dating, curfews, phone usage, driving, drinking, smoking, and the like, because all of these subjects tie into and are related to s*x and relationships in one way or another. It may turn out, once you start the conversation, that you don't know as much as you thought you did. It wouldn't surprise me, because when it comes to an issue as sensitive as this one, there is always more to learn- you can never know too much. One thing I would do, when your parents mention something which was covered in your classes, is to tell them that this was mentioned in class and that you already have some familiarity with it. Then expand on that a little bit and mention what you have learned about it. This will do a couple things- one, it will show your parents that you are interested and keep them from thinking you are just being a smart @ss, and two, it will also have the effect of demostrating to them that you REALLY DO KNOW and understand what they are talking about. That's a much better way to handle this situation than just simply telling them that you already know everything- because chances are, YOU DON'T, and they know that.

Your parents aren't doing this to offend or bore you, pal- they are doing it because they love you and want to keep you safe, and want you to know how to protect yourself against pregnancy, and disease. Keep that in mind when they mention this subject, okay??  

Answer 7

Lmfao, I know how you feel.

Just don't avoid it. There is no way you can avoid it, and I am POSITIVE you don't know EVERYTHING. Trust me, it'll be worth it. You are going to get "the talk" one way or another.

The first time I got the talk was when I was telling my parents my girlfriend was pregnant (when I was fourteen!) They were so PISSED.

Trust me, just grin and bear it. It's really not as bad as getting it when you tell them you're pregnant...

Answer 8

I simple told my parents , " I had the s*x talk in school , lets just avoid this , and everything is  fine !"  And everything was fine and I never had the talk with them .  

Answer 9

Just sit and listen, you could mention that they told you a few of those things at school.

Answer 10

Sorry, you don't have the right to avoid it. Your parents have a duty to make sure that you really do know "all about it", not just that you think you do.

Ask them to give you a 100-question quiz instead, with questions of their choosing, and if you get every question right, you get out of "the talk". But you'll probably get enough questions wrong to see my point, and your parents'.

Edit: "I learned it in school" doesn't cut it. My stepkids learned spelling in school, and let's just say I'm not impressed.

Answer 11

How old are you? I'm just curious.

I love how some of the people above me assume that because you are a teenager you are filled with mis-information. Especially the one that said you don't have "the right" to not have the talk. What a load of pants! Just the way they put that is slightly offensive.

Just because there is a statistic doesn't mean you fit into it. When I was a younger teen, I pretty much knew everything I needed to know, and when I had a question, I asked. I turned out fine.

I never had the talk with my parents. Tell them if you have any questions, you'll ask them, but that right now, you're pretty good when it comes to information.

Answer 12

Don't avoid it. How old r u? If your under 14-ish then you probably think it would be weird that your parents are talking about s*x. If your over 14 you probably think you just know everything and don't want to have the talk again. The thing is, your parents probably want you to know whats going on in the human cycle, even if you know it, they probably want the s*x talk heard from them than someone else. Who knows maybe you don't know everything about s*x. You'll find out something new about s*x by talking to your parents.

Answer 13

if they try to say its time for the talk just say i learned it at school and don'tnt need to hear it all agaiespeciallyly from mparentsts lol idk just walk away alembarrasseded or sit and pretend to lisson and evoftenofften go yes i know, ok yes right etc
