* In the ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' LetsWatchOurShowPlot fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27019630 The Future Briefing Island]]'' has the staff of U.A. realize that they're on an island with 24 first year students (The entireity of Class 1-A, Monoma, Tetsutetsu and Kendo of Class 1-B, and Hatsume of the Support Cours) some of whom are bunking in boy-girl pairings along with the fact that Izuku and Ochako got into a RelationshipUpgrade while also bunking together, thus Midnight with Nezu's approval holds a Sex Ed. Class that goes the full gamot from biological functions, psychological considerations (kinks and fetishes, and yes the story does make a distinction between the two), safety and proper ettiqute that goes beyond just consent. It even dabbles into pornography and how it differs from real life. A hilarious outcome of this is that it shows HiddenDepths of both Bakugo and Izuku by having them be so knowledgeable that they could pass for studying to be [=OB/GYNs=] with comments from the former suggesting that Aldera Junior High is rather thorough in its sex education.

* Played for laughs in ''Film/CODA2021''. Ruby has Miles over to rehearse for choir. Ruby's parents mistakenly assume the two are now a couple, so they sit Miles down for a talk on safe sex told through sign language.

* Inverted in ''Film/{{Pleasantville}}'', where Reese Witherspoon's character had to give "The Talk" to her mother (on the overly clean-cut TV sitcom from TheFifties [[TrappedInTVLand in which her and her brother have been trapped]]).
* Painfully, ''painfully'' straight in ''Film/AmericanPie''. Jim's dad buys him nude magazines as "visual aids".
* In ''Film/{{Beethoven}}'s 2nd'', a brother and a sister desperately need to distract their parents from their scheme... so the six-year-old sister goes to their father and asks where babies come from. It works wonderfully.

* ''Film/BicentennialMan'':
** The first time characters talk about sex, Sir is [[StandardFiftiesFather explaining about it to Andrew]], who finds the idea messy and concerning, much like a child. Oddly, Andrew gets stuck on the idea that because only one sperm is able to fertilize the egg, the rest all die.
** The second time characters discuss sex, Rupert is telling Andrew that it would be possible to imitate the activity with some of the new upgrades he's designed. Andrew tells Rupert about what "they" say sex is like, as if Rupert hadn't ever heard it from his own father.
* A Sundance short-film, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3gNQ2KYCb4 Late Bloomer]]'', has one of the most twisted and Lovecraftian takes on The Talk. Yes. Creator/HPLovecraft.

* In the Michael Keaton film ''Film/MyLife'', one of the videos that Bob Jones records for his son is supposed to be him giving the talk, but it doesn't get past him saying the word "Sex" followed by an extremely long pause before he turns off the recording.
* ''Film/{{Sleeper}}'': Woody Allen's character recalls his childhood.
-->'''Miles Monroe''': When I asked my mother where babies came from, she thought I said "rabies". She said you get them from being bitten by a dog. The next week, a woman on my block gave birth to triplets... I thought she'd been bitten by a great dane.
* ''{{Film/Maurice}}:'' On a group outing to the beach, family friend Mr. Ducie gives "the talk" to the young (and orphaned) Maurice. Beginning very awkwardly (and using clinical Latin terminology), Mr. Ducie sketches the body parts in the sand with a stick--growing more and more enthusiastic with his speech and his drawings. As they walk away, Mr. Ducie is horrified when a young girl in the party stumbles across his sand drawings.
* ''Film/LifeAnimated'' is about an autistic child and later adult who basically uses the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon as a TranslatorBuddy between himself and the world. Since he's in a relationship during the movie's filming, one interview of his older brother includes him wondering how he's supposed to use movies intended to be watchable by children to explain sex to him.
* ''Film/BrightBurn''. Brandon's father has an awkward conversation with his son saying it's alright to act on his feelings towards girls (referring to ADateWithRosiePalms). Brandon however takes this to mean using his newfound superpowers to visit the girl he has a crush on in the middle of the night. [[FreakOut She doesn't react well]] and things go FromBadToWorse as a result.
* ''{{Film/Sorceress}}'': Baldar tries to explain where babies come from to the twins, as they somehow don't know. It's revealed they believe they're given by a god. Although aware where baby animals come from, they don't know this applies to humans.

Class that goes the full gamot from biological functions, psychological considerations (kinks and fetishes and yes the story does make a distinction between the two), safety and proper ettiqute that goes beyond just consent. It even dabbles into pornography and how it differs from real life. A hilarious outcome of this is that it shows HiddenDepths of both Bakugo and Izuku by having them be so knowledgeable that they could pass for studying to be [=OB/GYNs=] with comments from the former suggesting that Aldera Junior High is rather thourough in it's sex education.

-->'''Laurence''': "Among other things, women must bear children, and care for them through childhood, where your kind lay eggs and hatch ready to look to your own needs."\\
'''Temeraire''': (facinated) "You do not hatch out of eggs? How then–"\\
'''Riley''': "I beg your pardon, I think I see Purbeck looking for me." (flees)

-->'''Laurence''': "You must not bathe with the others."\\
'''Roland''': (bewildered) "Mustn't I?"\\
'''Laurence''': (under his breath) "Oh, Christ." (firmly) "No, it is not suitable; you are beginning to be a young lady."\\
'''Roland''': "Oh, [[TheLadette Mother has told me all about that]], but I have [[NoPeriodsPeriod not started bleeding yet]], and anyway I would not like to go to bed with any of them."

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutron'', Jimmy is having trouble with a bully, but his parents think he's talking about a girl, so mom Judy tries to get Hugh to give Jimmy the talk. Hugh struggles with the words, but by the time he gets the nerve to do it the conflict is resolved and Hugh ends up giving the talk to Jimmy's robot dog Goddard.

* In one episode of ''Series/ImpracticalJokers'', Q had to give a lecture about the birds and the bees to a class full of students [[spoiler: ...only to find out that he was lied to, and he instead has to give the lecture to ''his parents'']].

When she finds out that Gabriel pawned the duty off on Human Resources, Nathalie locks them in a room together and refuses to let them out until they've had a mature and informative discussion.

-->'''Mark''': You're eight, Adam. That means it's time for me to tell you about the birds and the bees. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Birds are a good choice for small white and blue fliers. Bees, on the other hand, are used to falsely justify direct damage in green.]]\\

* Comes up a few times in the ''Literature/{{Temeraire}}'' series at the [[ButtMonkey expense]] of [[AnOfficerAndAGentleman William Laurence]]:

* ''WesternAnimation/GlennMartinDDS'': Conor and Courtney have to suffer their dad giving them the talk not only once, but multiple times due to him forgetting the last time he explained it to him via an amnesia-based GroundhogDayLoop. Each time, he inadvertently finds a different way of ruining their innocence.

* In ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', Nyamo ends up giving her students a [[InVitoVeritas drunken]] sex ed lesson during summer vacation, which takes place off-screen via RelaxOVision. It's a variant in that most of the girls are post-pubescent, so they know about sex; Nyamo is telling them about her ''personal'' experiences, which are apparently so outrageous that the girls are reduced to [[LuminescentBlush blushing]] StunnedSilence. [[InnocentProdigy Ten-year-old Chiyo]] is the only one who has no idea what she's talking about, much to Nyamo's distress when she wakes up hungover the next morning, and Chiyo still has questions.

* There exists somewere a European advert for an instant pasta product where a father, after his son finds his coa of the Kama Sutra and starts asking questions, distracts him with the advertised product. It doesn't quite work.

* In the anime ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', Tomo asks a drunken Kurosawa-sensei to explain it, which she does. We don't hear any dialogue, but are treated to the girls' reactions as their faces [[LuminescentBlush steadily become redder]] ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint with the exception of little Chiyo, who is clueless]]) and some odd arm movements. What makes it ''hilarious'' is the RelaxOVision (and music) accompanying the scene, and then, when Nyamo is sober again the next morning, [[HilarityEnsues Chiyo asks some questions.]]

* The second ending theme of ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure'', "Oshiete...! Twinkle", is about the singer wanting to uncover the answers to mysteries in life. One of the lyrics dances around this trope:
-->''Where do humans come from?''\\

* Edgar Chan in ''Manga/DGrayMan'' attempts to give one to a young Kanda. [[http://www.mangareader.net/210-43761-12/dgray-man/chapter-190.html It goes as well as you expect.]]

* In the ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' LetsWatchOurShowPlot fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27019630/chapters/65961265 Future Briefing Island]]'' has the staff of U.A. realize that they're on an island with 25 first year students (The entireity of Class 1-A, Monoma, Tetsutetsu and Kendo of Class 1-B, Hatsume of the Support Course and Shinso) some of which are bunking in boy-girl pairings along with the fact that Izuku and Ochako got into a RelationshipUpgrade while also bunking together, thus Midnight with Nezu's approval holds a Sex Ed. Class that goes the full gamot from biological functions, psychological considerations (kinks and fetishes and yes the story does make a distinction between the two), safety and proper ettiqute that goes beyond just consent. It even dabbles into pornography and how it differs from real life. A hilarious outcome of this is that it shows HiddenDepths of both Bakugo and Izuku by having them be so knowledgeable that they could pass for studying to be OB/GYNs with comments from the former suggesting that Aldera Junior High is rather thourough in it's sex education.

* In ''The Mirror'', Shay gets two different "night before the wedding" versions, one from her own mother in 1976 (Rachel's version is that if Shay's pregnant, there are options other than marriage), the other from her great-grandmother in 1900 (Sophie thinks she's talking to her daughter Brandy, who will eventually be Rachel's mother, not knowing about a BodySwap caused by the titular family heirloom) which is a LOT more awkward, since Sophie's seriously flustered by even having to refer to such matters. Sophie's version amounts to LieBackAndThinkOfEngland. Rachel also tells Shay (and we see the conversation between Brandy/Shay and Rachel later on) that her own "night before the wedding" talk was a rather detailed explanation of "the birds and the bees".

** In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7118223/1/ Elsewhere, but not Elsewhen]]'', The Talk goes UpToEleven and CrossesTheLineTwice or more as [[spoiler: it is Lord Voldemort who gives Harry the talk]]. Harry has to get drunk at the end to purge the images, and feels the need for a second bender the instant he realizes ''[[ShipperOnDeck why]]'' said person gave him The Talk.

-->'''Tyson's Grandfather''': It's time we had a lil' rap session\\
'''Tyson''': Not the 'birds and bees' speech\\
'''Tyson's Grandfather''': No, that's next week
