 Oh, I just read through my post and need to add that by aunt or uncle I meant in your family, not on here! :)

I can't answer you on WHY some parents have such hard time talking to their kids about this subject but i understand your frustration. It would be wonderful if more parents understood that their children WILL grow up to be sexual individuals no matter how much they hate thinking about it, and that without proper information and education they might end up in big trouble, maybe in some cases even having the rest of their lives all messed up. It should be as important to all parents to mind about this as for everything else to prepare their children to grow up to confident, strong people.
Maybe there are other adults around you that you can trust talking about this with? An aunt or uncle or a councellor at school? In most places there are also special places for teenagers to go to get advice from nurses and mid-wifes, and when/if the times come for that, to get proper birth control methods.
My parents were the complete opposite from yours though when I was a teenager, and I must admit that was pretty awkward at times too.... ;)
Good luck and take care!

 Because they see you as their child, and always will, even when you are 40 and 50 and 60 etc. Of course by then they will except that their little baby has grown up and hes a life of her/his own, and sex is a part of any normal persons life. But still in most cases sex subject is best avoided, it just makes them uncomfortable to think that you are doing "THAT" too, because they will always think of you as a child first!
Anyway internet is now the way to go, there are books as well depends on what sources you prefer.
My mum (and god forbid dad) never talked to me about such things, I havent even discussed period with my mum, as I was ashamed myself. I grew up in a rather conservative family...
Good luck anyway!

 why is it easier for some people to jump out of a plain? why is it easier for some people to come out to their parents than others. why is it easier for some people at tests or learning?
i think the main point is .. Have you asked?
