I used to think that a baby grew inside a condom for a while until a women ate the baby and it went into her stomach.

I'm very embaressed about this now that I know what I did. When I was very young i used to always crawl under my parents bed to look for stuff. One time I found a sealed *condom (which ididn't know what it was at the time) opened it up..noticed it was sticky but looked like a balloon. So first I chewed on it (crazy habit that i have chewing on rubber) tasted weird then I blew it up like a balloon and played with it. No one ever found out what I did..not even to this day. I'd be so embaressed :(

Once I was at a movie theatre with my mom. I asaw a condom on the ground and said mom! A one fingered glove! Can I have it?! She said no, and explained it. I felt like a dummy...

I was watching a movie when I was little (5 or 6), with my dad, and a female character took off her coat, and underneath it was a purple bra and underwear. The male character looked at her and said something about a condom. When I asked my daad about this, he said it was something that men slip on thier "hotdogs" that looked like a rubber. Until I was 12, I thought a rubber looked something like an inflated rubber float that you wear to the pool when you can't swim. How could that fit on a hotdog without being crushed, and why would a woman want a hotdog, and a thick piece on rubber in her anyways? I imagined the man and woman all ready to have sex, and the man would put a rubber,clear kiddie pool float on a hotdog, and pump the woman with it... man I was stupid

When I was younger, I thought that condoms were ment to blow them up..After that, the woman should put the condom inside her, so she got pregnant. Then she could carry the baby inside her, with the condom inside for 9 months!

I used to believe that condoms in their packaging were pretty coloured match boxes, because some had pictures of fire on them. I would stand at the counter peering at these nice "match boxes" behind the cashier.

Until I was about 10 years old, I used to believe that a condom was a type of lollipop!

When I was young and first learned about condoms, I thought that they were made of tin foil. OW!

I used to believe condoms were made of cardboard. Before that, I thought they were those round, flat, pink things in toilets.

Cardboard

I convinced my younger sister that you found condoms under soda bottle caps!

I used to think condoms were a pill you ate so you wouldn't have a kid during sex. When I found out what it really was I just kind of said to myself... 'Huh.... that makes more sense."

Woops.

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 :-)

I used to believe that condoms were like clown suits because I was watching the tv 1 day and I saw this man in a suit so i asked my mom what it was and she said a man in a condom.

One morning when in my mom and dads bathroom I was dumbfound to find a lovely balloon in the toilet.When my mom came in she flushed it down the toilet without a word of explaination. I almost wept to see the nice balloon disappear down the toilet How could she do such a thing?

When I was a kid, the AIDS epidemic was in full swing. There was a big push in the media to "have safe sex" and "always wear rubbers." For a long time I pictured people rolling around in full rubber haz-mat suits.

I knew that condoms were apparati to trap semen so it doesn't go into the woman's uterus where the sperm meets the egg and that's where it begins.

However, I thought that condoms were hard plastic penis molds custom-made to make a man's penis fit snugly tight into it. It sure trapped the semen inside the hard plastic.

So we went to one of my friend's uncle's house and looked in his drawers. I was so disappointed that I couldn't find the alleged penis mold called a condom. I just saw some packets in one of the drawers, thinking they were pills. Later, my friend looked into the same drawer and yelled "BINGO! There they are!" I said to myself, "That's what a condom is? But it's so small that it can fit in that small packet!?" Was I so embarrased out of ignorance!

I used to believe until i was 10 that guys peed into womens vaginas..and inserted their penis into her peeing hole and i was scared my hole would rip

also, i thought until i was 10 that condoms were sticks(a bit like inscence sticks) cause of hole straight penises were when they were erect. At camp all my friends saw a used condom and it was yellow and i thought that some guy had to shed his penis skin so it was fresh for another woman.

how wrong was i when i saw boxes of condoms..
