Playboy, Penthouse & Hustler were all part of my sex ed. My family didn't talk about sex, though my mom made an effort about two years after we'd covered the basics of baby-making in school.
But my best friend's family down the street were very different and where I found the three magazines, so if I had any real questions I asked her dad. I'd read something about oral sex in one of the magazines and was curious, so in front of a bunch of out-of-town family he had visiting that weekend, I asked. The conversation went like this:
14-year-old me: R, what is oral sex?
R: (looking uncomfortable, unusual for him) Umm ... you know what sex is?
Me: Yes
R: You know what oral is?
Me: Yes
R: Well, put the two together ..
Me: (thinking hard) - Talking about sex?
R: No. Let's talk about this later, ok?
Me: (wondering about all the snickering) Ok.
Without those magazines, not to mention my best friend's family, I don't know if I would have ever been as sexually experimental as I was.
