History Main / TheTalk

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' has a very unusual take on the trope. [[spoiler:Specifically, it's PlayedForDrama, since The Talk needs to be delivered to a group of 18- to 20-year-olds; due to the circumstances surrounding Agnus and Kevesi society, they had utterly no concept of reproduction until introduced to a newborn in person. The Talk itself is delivered off-screen by a medical professional, and there's no squeamishness in the aftermath; the characters are too enraptured by the concept of free, independent life being created to think of anything but [[TheWorldIsJustAwesome how amazing this alternative way of life is]].]]

* An ad for T-Mobile 5g titled "The Talk Network" opens with a father and son fishing on a boat and the father telling the son that there's something he needs to share with him. "No, Dad," says the son, shaking his head. [[SubvertedTrope It turns out]] that what he wants to share is how he got a new iPhone with T-Mobile and a cringey video of himself playing Whitensake's "Here I Go Again." He then explains that he can easily use phone to share it with others, though the son says that he's not sure he should. "Too late," he tells him. "Already hit send."

* {{Reconstructed}} in volume 4 of ''LightNovel/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades''. After Nanao and Pete are approached by several other students hoping to court them, Oliver and Chela host what amounts to a private sex-ed seminar for their friends. They focus particularly on consent (having battled an AxCrazy upperclassman who specialized in SexMagic in the previous volume), contraception, and, for the benefit of their two [[MageBornOfMuggles Mages Born of Muggles]], the peculiarities of mage sexual and marital relations. Both of their Muggle-borns happen to have heritable traits that make them attractive mates to aristocrats trying to [[SuperBreedingProgram breed more powerful mage children]]: pushing the limits of sorcery is a pursuit that tends to overshadow all else among mages as it is, and TeenPregnancy is tacitly encouraged by the WizardingSchool as a consequence (third-years and up are explicitly permitted to have children at school). The talk also leads to Oliver and Nanao [[LoveConfession admitting to their mutual attraction]] for the first time.

** 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 from his mind, and feels the need for a second bender the instant he realizes ''[[ShipperOnDeck why]]'' said person gave him The Talk.

->'''Dory''': What are we talking about?\\
'''Nemo''': Mommies and daddies.\\
'''Dory''': Mommies and daddies, right. Why are we talking about mommies and daddies? Oh. Oh, that class. Why me? Okay, you guys seem really young, but... Okay, you see, kids, when two fish love each other...\\
'''Mr. Ray''': And, we'll stop right there!

'''Comes in two flavours''':

'''Awkward''': A serious conversation that runs the gamut from mildly awkward to horribly painful, with the elder speaking nervously and the younger reaching for the BrainBleach. [[UnusualEuphemism The sexual acts and organs themselves are always described circumspectly]]. [[NotActuallyTheUltimateQuestion One frequent subversion is that the kid was asking for completely innocuous information]], like what to put on the "Sex" line of a form.

'''Ironic''': A humorous conversation in which the child proves to be far more versed in the subject than their parent, having already learned the Facts of Life from school, friends, and media, or even through firsthand experience. May end with the fascinated parents taking notes or interjecting "You can ''do'' that?" This subversion is common enough that it has become [[FromTheMouthsOfBabes a trope in itself]] (which makes this an UndeadHorseTrope).

Sometimes comic effect is added by the parent using toys (e.g. a G.I. Joe and a Barbie doll) as visual aids. (Please ignore [[BarbieDollAnatomy the flaw in that arrangement]]...)

Occasionally, it's ''not'' played for laughs. [[DoubleStandard This seems to be especially true when the child or teenager on the receiving end is a girl]]. She may be advised that [[NatureAdoresAVirgin her virginity is something that makes her valuable]], and that [[DefiledForever losing it makes her lose that value...which she can never get back]]. She may be told that [[AllMenArePerverts "boys only want one thing"]] (without too many specifics on what that "one thing" is). [[LieBackAndThinkOfEngland She may even be taught that sex is bad and she should see it as something she endures for her husband]], rather than a good thing that ''both'' partners can (and should) expect to enjoy.

Compare SexualEuphemism. No relation to the all-female TalkShow of same name - for that, see [[Series/TheTalk here]].

-->'''Sonic''': "Well, I was gonna say there's like... A baby tournament. And there's... The babies have to race to get to race to get to... the..."
-->'''Sonic''': "You know this sounded a lot better in my head."\\
'''Amy''': "Yeah. That's what I thought."\\
'''Aurora''': *appears with a cupcake* "I made you a baby!!!"

** ''Fanfic/{{Divorced}}'': After 7-year old Mina walks in on her parents naked in bed, she asks them why they're naked. Much to Zelda's embarrassment, Ganondorf explains to her about sex. Gerudos and Hylians have different standards on when it's appropriate for kids to learn about reproduction.
** In ''Fanfic/LetTheWorldSmile'', sixteen year old Princess Zelda is married off to Ganondorf as an act of AltarDiplomacy, but she doesn't know much about sex yet. Her mother died when she was young and her lady-in-waiting Impa was vague about the specifics. Nabooru is astonished by Zelda's naivety at her age.

--->'''Leslie''': C'mon, us ''gay kids'' should go teach a ''daddy'' how to procreate!\\
'''Ethan''': Well, when you put it ''that'' way, this sounds ridiculous.

--->'''Agatha''': Nursery? But... children? ''here''?\\
'''[[spoiler:Punch/Adam]]''': A few.\\
'''Agatha''': How...?\\
'''[[spoiler:Punch/Adam]]''': Oh dear, I was sure [[spoiler:Lilith]] explained all that...\\
'''Agatha''': (''indignant'') [[spoiler:Ad-'''''am'''''!]]

-->'''Rory''': ''Davan put his penis in my mommy?!''

* {{Subverted}} in ''Webcomic/TalesFromThePit''.
-->'''Mark''': You're eight, Adam. That means it's time for me to tell you about the birds and the bees. [[TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering 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.]]\\
'''Adam''': Why is Mommy sadly shaking her head?

* In ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry''[='s=] sequel ''Webcomic/AkichansLife'', [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]] has to give one to [[spoiler: his 4-year-old daughter Aki]]. Due to him watering down the explanation, they come up with some [[http://www.jimmys-desktop.de/aki.php?browse.4.122 very interesting ideas]].
-->'''[[spoiler:Aki]]''': He didn't make you eat [the baby], did he?
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Subverted when (in a flashback) young Durkon goes to his HonoraryUncle to ask about something his mother refuses to talk about.
-->'''Uncle Thirden''': Is this about sex? Please let it be about anything other than sex.\\
'''Durkon''': How did Ma [[AnArmAndALeg get hurt]]? And how did me Pa die?\\
(''beat'')\\
'''Uncle Thirden''': So how about that ''sex'', huh?
* ''Webcomic/ForestHill'' has a variation. After [[spoiler:Hunter gets molested at school]], single father Colin has to explain to his daughter Tanya what rape is. He has difficulty explaining what sex is to her, but luckily for him she already knows what sex is from her aunt giving her the talk. Colin also isn't able to give an answer when she ask how it is even possible for a penis to enter a vagina because it hurts when she tries to finger herself.

* This is seen in a brief Website/{{Walfas}} short where Flandre asks [[http://walfas.org/flash/sakuflan.swf "Sakuya, what's sex?"]], to which Sakuya tries to explain what she ''thought'' the former meant.

* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's parents telling him about the birds and the bees apparently included God injecting Adam with sperm. No wonder his sex life is fucked up.
* In one episode of ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' Arin and Dan both get to talking about how they received it, the highlight being that Arin's parents did such a bad job explaining homosexuality that he thought he was gay for a few years afterward because he loved his father.

* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' plays with this in "I Am Curious Ed", where Sarah and Jimmy try to get a straight answer on where babies come from from one of the other kids. Kevin and Nazz are too embarrassed to tell them, Johnny only seems to know how it happens with birds, and Rolf offers to tell them what his father told him when he was their age, which turns out to be "You are children, go away!" When they turn to the Eds, Eddy just plain misleads them, Edd gets [[{{Metaphorgotten}} hung up on the metaphor of bee reproduction]], and it turns out Ed still believes in [[DeliveryStork the stork]].

** In "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut", Cartman asks his mom during dinner if he actually has a dad, considering he never knew who he was. Cartman's mom goes on to give the talk, only for Cartman to ask her "who put his who-who-dilly in her cha-cha." And after that, Cartman's search for his dad begins.

** Subverted in "The Return of the Fellowship of the Rings to the Two Towers", in which the town's parents are afraid their children have seen a wild porn film. When they learn Token saw the tape, they try a traditional "when a man and a woman love each other" sort of talk, only for him to snap out of his HeroicBSOD to ask "And when the woman has four penises in her at once, then stands up and pees all over the men... is that love? Five midgets, spanking a man covered in Thousand Island dressing... is that love?" So at the end of the episode when they catch up to the rest of the kids, who did ''not'' see the film, the parents out of the blue start trying to explain group sex, urine fetishism, etc. to the children's' shock and horror.

--->'''Bart''': What a day, eh, Milhouse? The sun is out, birds are singing, bees are trying to have sex with them -- as is my understanding...
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPNxZno3YaM It's not like Bart didn't know already however.]] Although he possibly doesn't remember due to his age at the time.

--->'''Narrator''': And now for the honeymoon!\\
'''Kids''': (''cries of disgust'')\\
'''Mrs. Krabappel''': (''deadpan'') She's faking it.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': Dr. Venture decides to give Dean "the talk" since he has a girlfriend (kinda). All we get is a muted montage section with some interesting gestures, a GI Joe humping a lamp, and various other things. Next thing we know the topic has somehow moved to the breakup of Music/{{Whitesnake}}. Dean ends up staging a small version of ''Theatre/LadyWindermeresFan'' for Triana (his female friend).
-->'''Dr. Venture''': Now sit down, and let me explain something that every boy your age has known for like five years.
** In "Victor. Echo. Novemeber.", Triana gets her own Talk from her father before she leaves for a double date. She heads off his MillsAndBoonProse as unnecessary, not because she already knows everything, but because the date is with [[ManChild the Venture brothers]].
-->'''Dr. Orpheus''': When young women reach estrus, the lingam craves the stamen-like skills of the Yoni. This is quite natural.

** Bobby's biology class was going to do a sex-ed unit, which Hank and Peggy opposed. Hank said that if their son needed to know anything about sex he would learn it at home. Of course, it turned out that they were both intensely uncomfortable with the idea of talking about sex with their son, so they caved and signed the permission slip. Then Peggy, a substitute teacher, was asked to sub for the biology class, so she had to work to overcome her aversion to The Talk. (The fact that her own mother's version of The Talk amounted to giving her a book filled with pictures of flowers didn't help.) But then it turns out that [[spoiler:none of the other childrens' parents signed the permission slip, so they all leave the classroom and go to the library when it's time to start the lesson. By that time, the only two in the room are Peggy and Bobby.]]

-->'''Brain''': Pinky, do you know where baby mice come from?\\
'''Pinky''': Mmm-hmm! They come from a magic factory on the moon!

-->'''Maurice''': Now I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure whatever is in that egg, it ain't one of us.\\
'''King Julien''': Oh really, Mr Smarty-Booty? And where do you think JJ will hatch from, if not from an egg? (''sips drink'')\\
'''Maurice''': Well, ''mammals'' usually come from-- [whisper]\\
'''King Julien''': (''{{spit take}}'') Do not gross me out with nonsense, Maurice!

-->'''Mabel''': ...''Goodbye childhood.''

-->'''Doug''': Stinky is a girl? Roger, why didn't you tell me?\\
'''Roger''': Well, how was I supposed to know?\\
'''Roger's mom''': Son, we're way past due for a very important talk.
* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'': After Toot convinces the incredibly naive Princess Clara she's pregnant (because Clara kissed Foxy, and in fairy tales, the BigDamnKiss precedes BabiesEverAfter), Foxy decides to explain to Clara why that's not possible. She describes it as a "special hug" between a man and woman, with a cartoony visual aid... that turns out to be AnimatedActors she hired for the occasion. Clara's even more distraught, since she now knows why her WickedStepmother put a curse on her vagina, so no man would want to have the "special hug" with her.

** In the episode ''Mighty Mom & Dyno Dad'', after using their new superpowers to get their jobs done super quick Timmy's parents are left with just enough time to spend with Timmy before he catches the school bus. As Timmy leaves, it's implied they had The Talk.
---> '''Mr. Turner''': And that's all you need to know about where babies come from.
--->'''Timmy''': But what's the machine for?
--->'''Mr. Turner''': I'll tell you when you're older.
** In the movie ''Channel Chasers'', Wanda is trying to explain what happens when kids grow up and their fairies leave, but Cosmo ([[ItMakesSenseInContext who’s in a toilet after a very hot shower]]) misunderstands.
---> '''Timmy''': Older? What happens when I get older? \\
'''Cosmo''': Ah, Timmy. It’s time for a little talk about something we fairies like to call, "The Wands and the Wings." (''Cosmo pulls out a pink sock puppet and a green sock puppet and makes them kiss'') You see, when a mommy fairy and a daddy fairy love each other very much...\\
'''Wanda''': (''slams toilet lid on Cosmo'') Cosmo, no! Not ''that'' speech!\\
'''Cosmo''': But I already got the puppets out!
** After Poof is conceived and Timmy is confused why it’s [[MisterSeahorse Cosmo]] who’s pregnant, Cosmo decides to tell him about the "birds and the Bee Gees," which winds up just being a speech about the Bee Gees getting overplayed to the point of annoyance.

-->'''Kion''': We already had the talk! "[[MythologyGag Can you feel the love tonight]]," remember?

-->'''Splinter''': You are teenagers now. It is finally time for...''The Talk''.\\
''(some time later, Splinter turns off the TV)''\\
'''Splinter''': [[BaitAndSwitch That was a good episode of]] ''Series/TheTalk''. Now, we talk about sex.

* The ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' short "Ask Edward: All About Babies" had Edward and his little brother Emo both [[MissConception believing that babies come from eggs delivered by the]] DeliveryStork [[MissConception after being sent a request form from the parents on Christmas, Easter, or whenever one of the children they already have has lost a tooth for the Tooth Fairy to get]]. The boys eventually find an egg that they think to be their new brother, but are horrified when their mother cooks the egg in front of them and tries to get Edward to eat it. After realizing what the fuss is about, their mother then tries to set them straight by having their father explain the facts of life, but that only leads to Edward and Emo thinking that eggs will only contain babies if they have been pollinated by bees.

* In ''WesternAnimation/FIsForFamily'', after Bill is caught with a dirty movie, Frank decides he needs to have this with him, but he's so afraid of saying the wrong thing, that the whole thing becomes super awkward. Bill eventually tells him not to worry about it, because he already knows about sex...[[PrimalScene from accidently witnessing Frank and Sue together]].

--> '''[[AbusiveParents Big Bill]]''': Women are the Devil, don't ever touch yourself and now quit bugging me and hand me that fucking monkey wrench before I hit you with it.

---> "Dad, when are you gonna tell me about sex? I'm thirty!"

-->I waited my whole life to find out. Finally, one day, he did. He sat me down and told me this whole story about the sperm, the egg, intercourse... I said, "Dad, who cares? Get to the part where the thermostat comes in!"

-->'''Aunt May''': Do you know about that?\\
'''Peter''': What?\\
'''Aunt May''': (''close-up on face'') That.\\
'''Peter''': Oh god, stop talking!

* ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'' did this as a story arc, with Andy deciding to give Paige the talk for a second time, while the male members of the family were out on a HorribleCampingTrip.
-->'''Paige''': Mom, please, we talked about all this three years ago.\\
'''Andy''': That was just the basic overview. You're ready for the birds and the bees Lesson #2.\\
'''Paige''': I ''do'' watch network television, you realize.\\
'''Andy''': ...Good point. We'd better skip to Lesson #40.
** A later Sunday strip saw Paige wanting to have "the Talk" with Andy; when Andy points out that [[CallBack they already had the birds and the bees talk]], she clarifies that she meant the "stop-posting-dorky-stuff-on-my-Facebook-wall" talk.
* Subverted in ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'', when Lola Granola's mother tries to give her The Talk...on her wedding day, when she's already an adult. Lola responds that she's known all this stuff for years, making her mother go catatonic.
* Subverted in ''ComicStrip/LifeInHell'', in an early strip where Binky is trying to answer his son Bongo's questions before tucking him in.
-->'''Bongo''': Daddy, where do babies come from?\\
'''Binky''': Do you know what fucking is?\\
'''Bongo''': Yup.\\
'''Binky''': Well, that's how babies are made.\\
'''Bongo''': Oh. That's interesting.
* ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'' Being that the strip is about teenage life, it has this topic come up occasionally. In one story arc, Walt takes Jeremy fishing, and decides to have the talk with him while waiting for a catch. After some initial resistance, Jeremy replies, "Fine. What do you want to know?"

* In the original ''Film/{{The Parent Trap|1961}}'', the father decides to have the Talk with Sharon (disguised as Susan) on a golf course, assuming that's why she's wanting to know about her mother all of a sudden. After a few minutes of awkward explanation, Sharon tells him she's known about ''that'' for ages.
* The live-action ''Film/{{Casper}}'' movie included this brief exchange:
-->'''Kat''': I want to look... nice, like... like date nice.\\
'''Dr. Harvey''': Really? Uh... Honey, you know, I think maybe it's time that we sat down -\\
'''Kat''': It's a little late for that, Dad.\\
'''Dr. Harvey''': How late?\\
'''Kat''': Oh! Don't worry, not that late.
* ''Film/{{Orphan}}'': Esthar, the titular orphan and CreepyChild walks in on her adoptive parents having sex in the kitchen. The mother confronts her later and attempts to explain that "When two people love each other very much-" The girl interrupts with "I know. They fuck." [[spoiler:Of course, it turns out the "child" has a bad attack of OlderThanTheyLook ...]]

* ''Series/ICarly'' : Spencer tells Carly they need to talk, Carly stars with "Yeah, I know, when a mom and a dad..." Spencer cuts her off with a "No! Not that!"
* In ''Series/SamAndCat'' Dice asks Sam to help him with a problem, she asks how old he is and then starts with "You know Dice, it's completely normal for a boy your age to experience some things changing...", Dice interrupts her saying that's NOT what he wanted to talk about

--->'''Jeremy''': (''looking stunned'') Sex can be bad?!

-->'''Brad''': So, when will I know I'm a man?\\
'''Tim''': Your Mom and I will tell you!

-->'''Kid''': Oh, I know all about sex. What I really want to know about is love.

* On ''Series/Sense8'' Kala's aunt offers to give her the talk about "things that happen on a girl's wedding night". Kala is in her late twenties, and reassures her aunt that she [[TheInternetIsForPorn has the internet]], and already knows.

** Danny asks Keith to give him one in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Partridge."
--> '''Danny''': Why do people go through all that trouble when they don't even wanna have babies?

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* In the webcomic ''Webcomic/NipAndTuck'', Nip at the very least had a pretty clear idea of what sex was for from an extremely young age-after Tuck and Thelma walk in on Nip & Tuck's parents getting over "Empty Nest Syndrome", the parents reminisce about when the boys were five - cut to five-year-old Nip in a onesie, asking, "Are Tuck and me gonna have a widdle bwuvver?" "No, sweetie..." "Then what was all that for?!" His knowledge is possibly justified given that he's a farm kid and has probably seen the equivalent behaviour in [[FurryConfusion the non-anthro animals]].
* Webcomic ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=311 is]] [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1251#comic a]] ''[[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1502#comic really]]'' [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1195#comic huge]] [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=488#comic fan]] [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=943#comic of]] [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1142#comic this]] [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1240#comic trope.]] [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2829#comic Yup]].

--> By the time it was over, he'd corrected me on several factual errors and told me what felching is. Now I remember why I never wanted kids.
* Parodied in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Veq4Oc8S7-I this]] Website/CollegeHumor sketch about "second puberty", which discusses the pitfalls of the ''aging'' process in a fashion like those films you may have been shown in health class (or by your parents) about ''actual'' puberty.

* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': After Asuka gets pregnant her guardian Misato thinks -- ''somewhat'' belatedly -- of having "The Talk" with her:
-->'''Misato''': Asuka... forgive me. I want to talk with you calmly... woman to woman... do you understand? I need to talk with you about... uhh... bees and flowers... ummm—
* Spoofed in ''WebVideo/CodeMENT'', after the "classy" moment where the blind Nunnally hears too much.
-->'''Nunnally:''' Lelouch, there you are! I think Nina's really sick, [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown I walked in on her in the student faculty room]] and [[TheImmodestOrgasm she sounded like a dying coyote.]]\\

* The ''Fanfic/MaFille'' chapter aptly titled "The Talk" is actually about the puberty talk. The sex talk is only mentioned at the end when Joe drops this line[[note]]Translated from the original French[[/note]]:
--> ''Look, sweetie, I was barely ready for the puberty talk. Please, wait until middle school for the sex talk.''

* ''Fanfic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse:'' An early story has Cheerilee misinterpreting a remark [=BonBon=] makes about Trixie, and combined with catching her and Raindrops in an embarrassing conversation, assumes Trixie knows nothing about It, and proceeds to give her the Talk (combined with a few anecdotes of her own exploits). At the end of it, Trixie - who grew up with several cousins in Neigh Orleans - yells that she knows about sex already. She's just massively grossed out by it. What Cheerilee walked in on was them talking about a memory spell Trixie had been using.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* The WebOriginal/{{Dorkly}} comic "What Creator/{{Disney}} won't admit about [[WesternAnimation/GoofTroop Goofy and Max]]" starts out with Max questioning if WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} is the right person to talk to about sex, which prompts Goofy to [[HiddenDepths drop his normal silliness for a moment to talk about his sexual desires.]] Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7X3Q-mTluM voiced by]] Creator/{{ProZD}}.

* The ''Webcomic/ParadoxSpace'' story ''[[http://www.paradoxspace.com/birds-and-bees/1 Birds and Bees]]'' starts with a young Jade asking her grandpa how babies are made. Due to this being a ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' spin-off, the actual process is completely non-sexual.

* ''Literature/TheLockedTomb'': In ''Literature/HarrowTheNinth'', the Emperor suggests this as an alternative to talking about a different uncomfortable topic. Keep in mind that Harrow is eighteen, certainly aware of the mechanics, and it turns out he thinks she is already having sex.
-->His eyes flew open. God sat up straight in his chair, looked at you in open astonishment, and he said, "Are you sure you want to go with--that one?

* In an episode of ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', Italy, after reading a sex scene in a book France is reading him, asks what sex is. We don't hear what France says as [[CensoredForComedy it's covered up with an array of silly sounds]], but given Italy's reaction, we probably dont; want to know what he said.

* {{Reconstructed}} in volume 4 ''LightNovel/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades''. Oliver and Chela host what amounts to a private sex-ed seminar for their friends, focusing particularly on contraception, consent (having battled an AxCrazy upperclassman who specialized in SexMagic in the previous volume), and, for the benefit of their two [[MageBornOfMuggles Mages Born of Muggles]], the peculiarities of mage sexual and marital relations. Both of their Muggle-borns happen to have heritable traits that make them attractive mates to aristocrats trying to [[SuperBreedingProgram breed more powerful mage children]]: pushing the limits of sorcery is a pursuit that tends to overshadow all else among mages as it is, and TeenPregnancy is tacitly encouraged by the WizardingSchool as a consequence (third-years and up are explicitly permitted to have children at school). The talk also leads to Oliver and Nanao [[LoveConfession admitting to their mutual attraction]] for the first time.

* In ''WesternAnimation/FIsForFamily'', after Bill is caught with a dirty movie, Frank decides he needs to have this with him, but he's so afraid of messing it up, that the whole thing becomes super awkward.

* In Fanfic/NewBloodArtemisgirl the students of Hogwarts are given this in their third year, with Mc Gonagall, Sprout and Pomfrey handling the girls, while [[HalfHumanHybrid Flitwick]] and ''Serverus Snape'' handle the Boys side. Said boys do as expected when faced with the opportunity to make Snape answer embarrassing questions. Apparently, the magical STDs one can catch involve rotting gentitals should one have sex with a dead body, this includes the undead.

Occasionally, it's ''not'' played for laughs. [[DoubleStandard This seems to be especially true when the child or teenager on the receiving end is a girl]]. She may be advised that [[NatureAdoresAVirgin her virginity is something that makes her valuable]], and that [[DefiledForever losing it makes her lose that value...which she can never get back]]. Or, she may be advised that [[AllMenArePerverts "certain boys only want one thing."]] [[LieBackAndThinkOfEngland She may also be advised that sex is a marital "chore" for making babies and/or keeping her husband satisfied]], rather than something to be enjoyed for its own sake, or something where ''both'' partners can (and should) receive pleasure.

A kid who's considered too young to know the Facts of Life might be told about the DeliveryStork instead. The parents may try to leave it to the school, but risk their child being subject to the SexMiseducationClass.

Occasionally, it's ''not'' played for laughs. [[DoubleStandard This seems to be especially true when the child or teenager on the receiving end is a girl]]. She may be advised that [[NatureAdoresAVirgin her virginity is something that makes her valuable]], and that [[DefiledForever losing it makes her lose that value...which she can never get back]]. Or, she may be advised that [[AllMenArePerverts "boys only want one thing."]] [[LieBackAndThinkOfEngland She may also be advised that sex is a marital "chore" for making babies and/or keeping her husband satisfied]], rather than something to be enjoyed for its own sake, or something where ''both'' partners can (and should) receive pleasure.

* Early in ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'', Kaguya, Kurogane, and Fujiwara come across a magazine article that says just over a third of people their age have had their "first time" by then. Kurogane and Fujiwara are surprised it's so high, but Kaguya thinks it's about right, if not ''low''. However, she then goes on to say it's very common to the point she did it with her newborn nephew and expects Fujiwara did it with her ''dog''. This results in the obvious question of what Kaguya ''thinks'' "first time" means, and Kaguya reveals she's talking about kissing, as that's the extent of her sexual education. Fujiwara steps up to the plate and, sixteen minutes later, Kaguya is both educated and flustered beyond belief.

* In ''VideoGame/FTLFasterThanLight'', there's a random event called "Two Smashed Ships", which involves two Engi ships that have apparently smashed into each other. If you have an Engi crewmate, they can explain that the two ships are "achieving an union" and forming a third vessel. The explanation involves pictures, and the Engi is very embarassed.
