but for real, what's the "traditional" birds and Bees talk?
i'm just really confused here.
My parents gave me the "penises and vaginas" talk early on and then i got comprehensive sex ed.......
Mine was "the penis goes into the Vagina. Here is a dirty mag to give you an overview of the mechanics. Keep it I don't want it back."
Then school sex ed was all just pictures of STDs and wear a condom you filthy heathen.
Isn't that a myth though? I dunno birds are creepy.
Birds are monogamous at a higher rate than basically any other clade, however, a lot of the data on it was performed by relatively stuffy old men who would willfully misinterpret things that went against their narrative (I am reminded of a (possibly apocryphal) anecdote of some scientists observing a male orangutan giving oral sex to another male orangutan, and concluding that he must have needed nutrition), and as far as I know, a lot of the monogamous birds are monogamous because they pair up for one mating season.
That said some birds are totally monogamous, and I'm pretty sure way more are than mammals (I think mammals are at like 5%)

Hey chatbros, would it be the worst if I asked you guys to use gender-neutral pronouns for me? I understand people really fucking hate singular 'they' for various reasons, so if it bothers you and/or you can't reconcile that with your mental image of me, you totally don't have to and I won't be offended.
But I figure that's a thing that I do, in fact, want, so I might as well ask.
Of course!
I am v interested in what motivates people to make this decision, though, and having met some pretty starkly different folks who prefer "they" I'm even more curious now
Hilariously, I have found that the difficulty of using it mostly manifests when the person isn't around, as singular "they" is typically used for an unidentified or non-specific person, so you get a lot of "that's what they said!" "Wait, who said?"
I can't provide the full justification at the moment; need to work some stuff out first.
But basically, I think it adequately reflects the reality of how I look and where I'm at mentally?
Plus I super-hate being female so if I can impose my will on reality a little bit and make that slightly less so just by word choice, even only in certain spaces, I mean...why not, right? (Except for the fact that it's so very millennial, and awkward to get used to).
I call everyone "dude".
Or other varying vulgarities.
But "dude" for the people I like.

Euphemism for "springtime", because America is ruthlessly puritanical when it comes to sex.
I. .. what? Can someone actually elaborate here? I just wanna know what birds and bees have to do with sex Ed.
it's the name of the talk because it's nature, it's not actually explained in the context of birds and bees as far as I have ever heard in my life. if it is I imagine the focus is pollination and mommy birds watching eggs as simple concepts kids already know that you then translate to male and female humans.

Its literally just a euphemism. Anything relevant that it may have had is from previous generations.

The "talk" for me came after I had surgery and while out of it on drugs, my ma found my stash of nudi mags that my older friend down the street had stolen for me. (Not that I needed that. I'd been raiding my dad's stack of nudi mags for years)
After I fully recovered. She was like, "We found some adult magazines in your room. If you need to ask any questions, you know you can" I never did. Penthouse and the scrambled Spice channel had taught me what I needed to know.
Birds and Bees are part of nature, as is reproduction
And yeah, bees are covered in pollen all the time and birds have eggs all the time and that's vaguely the same thing as human reproduction if you squint

Bee pollination is a very wholesome but perhaps misleading way to introduce sexual reproduction (of plants). Birds with large external eggs are a good way to introduce incubation and development of a baby.
It's all about explaining the processes of sexual reproduction without the ding-dongs and fannies and cream pies.

springtime is the time of the year when a lot of sex happens in nature. birds and bees start appearing in springtime first, so it's the "you know, wink wink nudge nudge" idiom.

Basically it's sparing parents from having to feel uncomfortable so their children remain confused until they find out on their own.
Isn't that a myth though? I dunno birds are creepy.
Birds are monogamous at a higher rate than basically any other clade, however, a lot of the data on it was performed by relatively stuffy old men who would willfully misinterpret things that went against their narrative (I am reminded of a (possibly apocryphal) anecdote of some scientists observing a male orangutan giving oral sex to another male orangutan, and concluding that he must have needed nutrition), and as far as I know, a lot of the monogamous birds are monogamous because they pair up for one mating season.
That said some birds are totally monogamous, and I'm pretty sure way more are than mammals (I think mammals are at like 5%)
I think a lot of it is the distinction between sexual monogamy and social monogamy.
But genetic testing of songbird nestlings, even in socially monogamous species, shows that the father who sired them isn’t necessarily the one who is helping to rear them. In other words, a socially monogamous female songbird sometimes “cheats” on the male with whom she has a bond. And her socially monogamous mate may have fathered eggs in other nests.
Sometimes a female bird carrying an egg fathered by her bonded mate, will lay that egg in a different nest of the same species. So when you happen upon a songbird nest full of eggs — even of a socially monogamous species — you can’t be sure who is the biologic father — or mother — of those eggs.
In other words, socially monogamous birds are not necessarily faithful partners, but they care for each other and for the young of their nest. Rearing young together does not imply sexual fidelity. Studies of eastern bluebirds have found that nests with mixed parentage — that is, they have eggs by more than one father, or more than one mother, or both — are not uncommon.
Between one in 10 and one in three eggs in a female cardinal’s nest has genes that don’t match her partner, and less commonly, they don’t even match her own. But because of that pair bond to rear the young, they are considered socially monogamous.
According to The Birder’s Handbook, “It is perhaps best simply to consider monogamy as a social pattern in which one male and one female associate during the breeding season, and not to make too many assumptions about fidelity or parentage.”

Springtime is known as sexy time in nature.
Birds and bees come back during the spring after winter.
Hence "birds and bees".
