When I was nine I found some condom's in my dad's briefcase... I thought they were drugs. For a while I was afraid he was going to die from them...

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....

I used to believe that us boys grew condoms, and I could never figure out why mine had never grown yet. So I told my friend about it saying "How come my condom hasn't grown yet, but everyone else's had?" and he couldn't stop laughing and I didn't think it was funny at all! But he explained that you have to buy them and put them on for sex. And I didn't believe him so I asked both of my parents about it and they agreed with my friend… afterwards with "the talk". How embarrassing!

My father used to work at the US Post Office. He used to leave little rubber finger covers lying around the house--grippers use to help sort through letters...I was never sure, but I always suspected those were rubbers.

When I was little, my rarely saw my parents kiss, or hug, or have any type of physical contact. This was not because they disliked each other or had a bad relationship, but because they were like any other normal, Asian parents. So one day, when I stumbled into my mom and dad's closet and found a box of condoms, I was incredibly confused. I used to think that perhaps my dad wore the condoms everyday to protect himself from getting raped by other, nasty women. I refused or never really believed that my parents who *gasp* ever have sex together.

When I was younger, about 5-years old, I was at a drug store and I saw something peculiar. They were in boxes below a sign that I could not read. To my small brain it looked like a ring-like bandaid. I thought you put it on the tip of your finger, roll it up, and it acted like a finger-glove or a tourniquet. They seemed like a childrens toy because they came in so many colors! Was I surprised when I learned to read later on in life!

In England a few years ago we had a Dulux Paint commercial on the television with a big Old English Sheep Dog.
When I was 12 or something I was out with my Mom and we saw one of these dogs. I said "if I had one of those dogs I'd call it Durex"! whoops!

When I was little, I discovered condoms (still in their wrappers) in my parents' bathroom and naturally had to ask my mother. She just told me it was to prevent making a baby. I assumed from the way the looked, they went on the woman's breasts during sex and somehow prevented a baby. I didn't know the basics of sex at that time...

I once found a condom in a trashcan at school. I thought it was a balloon, and I blew it up in front of the class.

My friend was once in CVS with her mom and was wandering around the store. She saw a package with 4 little round things in it, and assumed they were little lipglosses because they said "strawberry flavored" on them. She brought them to her mom and asked her if she could buy them for her, let's just say my friend didn't read the packaging well enough...

I used to think that a condom was similar to a nicotine patch, you could just stick it to your arm and you wouldn't get pregnant!

Gretchen

when i was 10 i knew abt sex condoms and all but not about oral sex


when i first heard of flavoured condoms i thought that u were supposed to chew them like chewing gum until the flavour was lost and then put it onto the penis



later on i realised that u could do the 2 things together

I used to believe that a condom was a snail-like object that you would stick on your abdomen and it would somehow keep the babies from coming out.

When was younger I used to believe condoms were a food, because I once heard someone speak of vanilla and cherry flavored condoms, and I believed that for years

My friend was at a restraunt with some family and her little cousin (5 yrs or so) had to use the washroom and her aunt asked her to take her. After her cousin used the toilet she asked my friend what the Condom Dispenser was, my friend told it was candy and she rushed out of the bathroom. After dinner my friend went to use the bathroom and as she opened the door she heard her cousin complaining to her mom to buy her candy! You can imagine how shocked her mother was!
