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.

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 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?

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..

I used to think that condoms were extra for "her pleasure" becuase the boxes said stuff like "ribbed for her pleasure."

I remeber in 5th grade two kids said they found a condom in the playground. But they pronounced it as CONDIMENT. I didnt know what it was. One of them later explained that that was what people had sex with. So when my older sister and mom pick me up i told them kids at school found a condiment at school. My sister was all "They found ketchup and mustard at your school?" i was mad because they didnt know what i ment.

When I was about 5, my mother recieved these free wallets from a contraceptives company (she was a pregnancy councillor). After removing the leaflets, she decided to give one to me. I immediately searched the pockets and discovered a condom, which she confiscated. I badgered her about it until she revealed that it was a "balloon". I immediatley demanded it, and threw a tantrum when I was refused. My siblings still bring it up sometimes. God, the embaressment when I learned the truth . . .

I used to believe those were REALLY balloons, until much later when I was old enough to read the boxes, at the pharmacy.

i used to think that condoms were rubber circles and i never knew how they stayed on

hello

when i was younger i thought that condoms were used by girls who WANTED to get pregnant (how wrong was I?!) me and my friend thought that they would just put a condom inside them and keep it there for a week and then get pregnant but they were only used by the fat and ugly girls who were desperate to ahve a baby but couldnt get a boyfriend! we were on a ferry on a school trip in the loos and a woman was at the condom machine. we couldnt work out why there were falvoured condoms so we went up to her and asked her. she went bright red.
