[After fiddling with the gear for a bit and checking the network, it seemed like it's impossible to tell who is who... so now seemed like a prime time to ask without embarrassment. Now to just keep it short in case the text glitches and gibberishes the question...]

someone explain what 'the talk' is

[Someone should answer, people are always answering questions or being nosy.]

When a man and a woman love eachother very much, they have sex- sometimes in multiple ways if they're not being boring.

If they're unlucky the woman ends up up the duff.

[Wait you did want the talk itself, right Vanitas?]

[Yeah, but half of that made no sense.]

what's sex? and why would it have to be a man and a woman? can it be two men?

Well thats the normal stuff. Two men or two women or a woman and a dog really, doesnt matter. Can't get pregnant with the dog though. Unless theirs magic???

Wait how don't you know what sex is?

[Barry I know you can spell, but you should pay more attention to your grammar.]

[...th-that previous reply. no.]

I will explain, but first I'd like you to tell me how mature you are by your species' standards. It affects my answer.

it wasn't something taught to me in my world

[Going to have to fib a little; a least physically, it's the right age.]

for humans? i'm sixteen years old

Go ask one of your friends for a demonstration. Every one does it, sure theyd be happy to.

the only one i trust won't tell me. most i know is that it's private, so why would they be happy to do some kind of demonstration?

[that works.]

Thank you. "The talk" is a euphemism for a discussion usually had between a child and one or more of their guardians, during which the guardian explains the process of reproduction. It typically occurs before the child reaches sexual maturity, though the exact timing depends on the culture and the individual family's discretion. For humans, that would be at or before...about twelve, I think. That, too, varies.

Are you asking because you've never had that discussion, or because you've never heard that term for it?

...I'm pretty sure the nurses can tell you, Vani.

how do you know this is vanitas

[WEREN'T THE GEARS BEING RETARDED? NO. DLHFKJFHJKHFL?!?!?!?]

never had the discussion. my "guardian" had no reason to tell me, i guess

a good guess? besides, if it isn't him he'll probably see this.

also if you're not Vani, how'd you know who I was talking about?

Because their your friends and friends do private things. i do it with my friend all the time in lots of different ways. its great fun!

so theres different ways to do sex

[oh jesus]

Would you like me to explain the subject?

Also, disregard what your first response is telling you.

so i'm right in thinking it's a private thing for only two people? and yeah.

not many people with the name 'vani', so it's easy enough to guess? [THIS SHOULD WORK, RIGHT?!]

besides, the nurses weird me out, i'm not asking them.

hi Vani. it's Rikku.

shhh.

can you answer the question at least? karkat wont tell me diddlysquat.

the Talk is the talk kids get when they hit puberty about sex and stuff. why are you asking Karkat?

i never got it and it's apparently important to know for relationships

I'd help, but I got the guy/girl talk and the girl/girl talk. not the guy/guy talk.

why would they be different?

different, uh, parts. guys have parts that girls don't have and vice versa
