FWIW, my parents NEVER talked to me about sex. To this day. I'm 39. Therefore, I didn't talk to them about it either. There was no one I was interested in in high school, so it wasn't really an issue until college when I was no longer living in my parents' house, but still. I guess they figured we got whatever needed in sex ed class, the last of which I think was maybe 8th grade? Maybe if I did have a boyfriend it would have come up, but my brother had a girlfriend, I think, and I still don't think it came up, at least not in my presence and not that he told me about. I decided independently that I didn't want to do it just to say I had done it if I wasn't in a relationship, and I really didn't like my high school classmates much, so it wasn't an issue. Maybe my parents were more concerned with my lack of friends than the possibility of having too-close friends. Who knows?
