When I was about 6 I went into a hotel toilet with my mother. It was a fairly posh place and they had bowls set up on the counter next to the plants. The bowls held very nicely wrapped complimentary condoms. With the sweet tooth I still have I immediately thought they were sweets and proceeded to nearly empty one of the bowls into my pocket. Later on while we were driving in the car I whip out one of my lollies and start to unwrap it excited for the free sweets I'd found. My mother nearly had a heart attack then almost died of laughter.

I used to believe tampons go in but they never came out and I aslo belived that condoms were rubber underwear

When I was little I used to look at the pictures on some of the comdom boxes and I saw girls in cowgirl outfits and swimsuits and things that said "for the best pleasure!" I used to think that it was an outfit inside the little box and they were called comdom outfits, like a signiture brand, like victoria secret and made all the people like you. Later I found what was in the box and I thought it was like a bath toy that tasted funny to teach you not to chew on things...

When i was about 6 my mum and me were sitting on a park bench and i a used condom on the floor, but i thought it was a balloon so i said 'i think some one's had a party here' my mam looked at me shocked because she thought i was using a euphamism for sex before i said 'because theres a balloon on the floor'. i think she was relieved.

When I was nine, I found some condoms in my aunt's bedroom. My cousin and I played with them like balloons (Couldn't figure out why they tasted so funny), even though I knew they were for adults. I unrolled one and told my cousin (pointing to the well at the end)that the woman would put them on her breasts so that the man would not get any milk in his mouth.

When I was 5 I found a box of condoms on my dads bedside table. I asked my mom what they were. She didnt want to have to explain that to a 5 year old so she told me that they were "Daddys Medicine" then when I was 10 my little brother found them and asked what they were. I told him what mom told me "They are daddys medicine" he asked why daddy needed medicine and I told him "I dont know. He must be really sick though because he has been taking it for 5 years" Mom still laughs about it.

When I was 6, I saw a condom on the ground in my neighborhood and my friends told me and my sister not to touch it. Somehow I believed that a condom was a "kingdom" where little people lived, and I wasn't allowed to touch it because I might kill the little civilians who lived in the "kingdom". I brought it up about ten years later, only to find that my sister believed the same thing.

When I was younger (probably 7 or 8) we didn't know what condoms were. So when my friends and I found a couple used ones in the alley behind their house, we took them.
I vividly recall my friend blowing one of them up like a balloon. We also stretched another one over a pop bottle.
I was disgusted when I learned what a condom was a few years later.

When I was 9y.o. I found an extra large clear balloon in a foil packet in my parents bedroom and thought I'd show off my brilliant find to everyone on my school bus.
Sure enough my friends were impressed until some 12y.o. told everyone on the bus what it really was. I was so embarassed, got off the bus crying and ran home.

To make matters worse the next day the headmaster took the 12yo boy out of class to apologise to me, HOW EMBARASSING AGAIN!!!

My parrents were amature coin collectors and one day I decided that I wanted to do that myself. Sadly I started my coin collection with my fathers foil condom and my mom took it away from me and was really upset. Knowing what I know now irks me.
