I could be wrong, but I don't think your experience was typical. I hope I'm not wrong. My mom did this whole little lesson plan with me when I was entering puberty, including reading a book to me that I think was called Preparing for Puberty. It was awkward, but I'm glad that she took the time to share that information with me.

I'm glad my mom handed me the puberty book and walked away. Jesus christ I would have flashbacks to that experience until I die.

I hope you're right, but my experience, albeit a decade earlier, was very similar to the above.
