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

When I was around 7 or 8, my friend Seth and I were at a family BBQ. His uncle was getting ready to leave and as he was getting into his car, my friend screamed at the top of his lungs, "Uncle Lance!!!! Don't forget that I'm coming to your condom this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!" ---he meant condo....

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.

I thought condoms were used when the man was sticking his thing in the vagina and when he had to pee i took it out and stuck the pee in the condom

my brother told me girls would stick water in them and tie the top and stick it in there vagina if she wasnt aloud to have sex

I used to believe that whenever I saw a condom on the street...I used to believe that two people had actually had sex on the pavement and just left the condom there!

After my mom's finger was injured, she had to wear these finger bandages that looked like they were made of rubber that you just slip on. (I'm not sure what they were called.) I saw them, and I thought it was something entirely different. When I saw my mom slip it on her finger, I said aloud: "Is that a condom?" With a shocked expression. She got a good laugh out of that.

I used to believe conoms were to put on your dick, and stick in the woman, then slip the dick (not the condom) out and leave it in the woman. I thought it would stop diseases or sicknesses to the woman. I thought it gave them vitamins. THen one day my sis explained what sex and condoms were.

when I was younger I used to think men had periods too and that condoms were like a men's pad or tampon haha.
also in fifth grade the girls and boys watched this video tape about puberty and the girls got a pad and deoderant. well one boy told me they got condoms in their little aftergift haha. I was shocked to know what it really was later but at the time i was like not ah!

I had trouble understanding how a condom stayed on; wouldn't it just roll right off again? I imagined them much like nylon knee-highs, with a little bit of rubber and a scrunchy bit at the top so that it would stay on. I thought this until I was fifteen and a guy friend stuck a green condom in my purse. Later, when I was emptying it out, I got a shock and hid it away for ages so that my parents wouldn't see. Examining it through the package, and reading the side showed me how it actually works. I still have that condom, fully wrapped.

Once in the second grade, I saw a "balloon on the school ground at recess. I ran towards it, and started blowing on it. Being curious my other friends followed me. One of the girls called the teacher... Come to find out it was a condom. Til this day nobody knows if I actually blew on it. Which I did. OH! The shame!

I used to think that a condom was a electric chip that a man put on the tip of his penis in order to not have a baby.
