I used to believe condoms were stretched over a woman`s vagina

When I was 6 my family had a fourth of July BBQ at our house with all of our relatives and close family friends. Just as dinner had finished cooking I stood up and screamed at the top of my lungs that I was going to go get the condoms so we could eat. I thought that condoms and condiments were the same thing.

When I was around 9, a boy about a year older than I was told me a rubber was a thing a boy puts on the end of his prick so the girl doesn't get pregnant. I pictured a cork-like stopper made of hard rubber.
In the third grade, I had a friend who was a year or so older than me. One day, she told me about how her older sister was 'allowed' to have sex since she used condoms. I asked what they were, and she said that her sister showed her one, and it looked like a bag with white stuff at the bottom.
I then believed that condoms were sandwich baggies with little white pills in it.
When I was 16 and worked at a grocery store I was asked where the condiments were. I thought that was a fancy name for condoms. I was so embarrassed that I just turned red and could hardly speak.

I saw a movie with John Travolta in it. He was talking to some girl and she had said something about condoms, then he flipped out a butterfly knife.
Until I was 15, I thought a condom was a knife.

Once, I was in a theatre production of the Sound Of Music. We had microphones, and the mic packs (the square-shaped part that connects to the actual mic with a wire) weren't picking up sound right. So they started putting condoms on the packs to help the sound quality. Well, we had a five year old in the show, and she came up to me, holding the condom from her microphone, and said, "What's this?" I deliberated for a minute before saying simply, "it's a special microphone pack cover." Poor little girl! Years from now when she sees a condom again, she'll think it's a mic-pack cover!

I thought a condom was made of hard plastic and shaped exactly like the penis, not soft or floppy like a deflated balloon. Consequently, I wondered, how do guys get them to fit exactly right?!

When i was little i read a book about sex and puberty. i knew that girls had to use tampon when they got older and i thought a guy had to wear a condom every month when he got older. i was worried that i would have to ask my mum to buy me condoms when i was older. good thing i found out what they were.
I use to think condoms was something very small, something you put inside the hole of the penis not over the penis.
I used to believe that the masks used by carpetners were condoms because when I found it in the laundry drawer my Dad seemed really embarassed

I am proof of the power of the early 80's media campaign about HIV in the UK worked! Obviously as a 4 year old I didn’t understand what AIDs or sex was but I believed that you caught AIDs off a condom if you didn’t put it on a boys willy correctly. It must have had a lasting impression as now i am a sexual health nurse :-)

When I was about 11, my teacher did the sex education thing with us. She passed round a condom and I thought it was gum so i chewed it. And then this kid who knew what they were used for laughed at me andthe teacher went mad coz i was chewing a condom!!

when i was a little girl, i thought condoms were a lot more complex because of how important the media made condoms sound
I thought a condom was a little machine guys slid on that emitted electrical waves to prevent the sperm from coming out.
imagine my surprise the first time i actually saw one, i was disappointed in the lack of imagine the condom makers had.

my mom told me what condoms were about a year before she gave me the talk. though she said nothing about protecting from having babies. she just said diseases. after a long while of thinking, i came up with that people put them on their toungues when they're kissing.

When I first learned about condoms, I learned that they prevented the HIV virus from getting from one person to another. I was old enough to have learned that viruses and sperm were both very small things, but I hadn't realized that sex wasn't only to just make babies, so I spent a very long time trying to figure out how the condom stopped the viruses but not the sperm. I finally asked someone and was only more perplexed. Why would you have sex if it didn't result in a baby? And if you wanted to have a baby then you wouldn't be safe from HIV! (I didn't realize there was a test that could tell if you had HIV or not.)
When i was learnin about sex for the first time, and i learned about a condom, i thought that condoms where made of the same material as diapers, and that they were at least 1 inch thick, because i had heard so many ppl talk about them breaking....

When i was a kid, fishing with my dad on lake invermere, i caught a used condom. Not knowing what it was, I went to grab it... My dad immediately caught my hand and firmly told me not to touch it. He got a little flustered when i asked why, as he didnt want to tell me about sex.
so he euphamised it. he started off the story with "Kevin, when a mommy fish and a daddy fish love each other very much they want to express that love, sometimes without making baby fish..." and I blurted out "OH! So those come from fish?"
Not wanting to say any more he said "Yes, Kevin, those come from fish but they are dirty so dont touch them."
when I got a little older and started sex-ed in school a teacher held up a condom and asked if anyone knew what it was. Needless to say i was severely embarassed that day!
