"I'm sorry Amber I thought you knew. You've been telling me that your parents did not tell you much, but I thought you knew at least... What it was. Or where foals come from."
He sits upright, and leans against the wall. He takes Amber's blanket (or pillow) and places it over his lap. He taps his hooves together.
"So, um, um, um, when mares and stallions reproduce, uh, make foals, the stallion places his penis.... into the vagina of a mare. Preferably a willing mare. And if the mare is fertile at that time, and if the stallion ejaculates into the mare... well, stallions produce something called semen in their testicles. And then in ejaculation that travels into the mare and into her womb, where it can fertilize an egg in the mare's womb that grows into a foal. Now, mares will only be fertile during the period of their heat. They are not fertile otherwise. But when they are ejaculated into during their heat, that produces a foal. Or can, I guess it's more complicated than that. Anyways... so stallions lust after mares wanting to have sex with them, and mares sometimes feel the same."
He licks around his lips, and talks at Amber, unable to make eye contact:
"Now, uh... I guess I'll give you the speech my mom gives my sister at dinner. Little fillies like you, uh... so well... Mares get pregnant, Stallions do not. Mares have to raise foals, stallions do not. Stallions can just leave unless somepony forces them to stay, while a mare has to take care of a foal and herself and make money to do it, and she'll be less attractive for marriage to a different stallion, because stallions don't necessarily like to raise someone else's foal. I mean, some do, but it's a bad situation to be in as a mare. So stallions can go around and have sex with a bunch of mares and have fun and not care. But mares have to care because it can be very costly for them. And then there are other problems, like jealous as ponies can fight over sexual partners, or emotions, because sex is extremely emotional and can cause you to fall in love with somepony who you never should have fallen in love with. Somepony who is going to hurt you. So this can be very bad.
So um, many stallions will go out and look for mares to have sex with just because it's fun and romance is fun and the challenge is fun. These stallions don't care about the mares, because they don't have to. Now, probably not every colt or stallion is like that, but any of them could be, and um" he licks his lips again "any of them could be, so it's safest just to assume all of them are and only have sex when they propose marriage to you, or better, when they are actually married, that way if they try to leave you and your foal you can get the government to help you pull them back.
And uh, do I need to talk about marriage? I guess I need to. Uh, if a mare has sex with another stallion during the marriage, or after betrothal, that is going to hurt the stallion very, very much, and he will divorce you, and the government will not make him pay support to you. If he has sex with another mare, and you do not trust him, you can divorce him and the government will make him pay money to support you.
And uh... uh... you need to, you need to be very careful to look out for stallions who will take advantage of you for sex, because they will say things to you and take advantage of your naivete, and uh, Amber can I have some water please?"
