Where I'm from if you admit that you learned about sex from your parents, you're not fit to hang out with the cool kids. This goes double if you're a dude and the information was supplied to you by your mother. I made that mistake when I was nine. I was watching a sitcom with my late grandfather maybe a week before his death and I asked him how the lead character (Murphy Brown) is pregnant without being married. The hardened WWII vet, funeral director, and father of eight supplied me with a direct answer: "She had sex with her boyfriend.". He answered it like I was asking him about the weather, or his favorite brand of mustard. I knew the sex act had something to do with naked people in bed or whatever and decided not to press him. Well, he died and I soon pressed my mother on it (my father lived in Los Angeles and conversations like this obviously cannot effectively be done over the phone). My worldview changed.
It seems like nowadays parents just wait for their kids to ask them and then say something to the effect of "Sweet child of mine, tell me what you know and I'll fill in the blanks.". Sometimes the parent will find themselves fetching a pen and a notepad...

Not according to Hollywood. I've often wondered how Americans manage to reproduce without removing their underwear.
Apropos the question: my wife was a nurse, and we always talked "shop" at mealtimes, having first dissected whatever fish fowl or animal we were going to eat, so the kids were immersed in anatomy and physiology from birth, and helped out on local farms and smallholdings at the weekends. No problem: that's how your siblings, friends and dinner are made.

Sex with your underwear on can happen, as briefs almost always have a penis door in them.
When you see a scene in a movie where a character is engaging in the sex act, the actor's penis is often covered for a variety of reasons. Such as filmmakers wanting a PG-13 rating instead of an R, or actors simply don't want people to see their penis. In films, it is inevitable that a few goofs will surface, such as revealing that the actor is not actually naked.

Yes, dear, that's how it works.
And in the UK, (a) briefs generally don't have a door - that's boxers and (b) ladies (you need one to make a baby) don't usually have a penis.

Briefs (and knickers) generally have two 'doors', one for each leg.

Plus one for your waist.
