when i was little, i always thought a condom was something like a pin that a man would wear. i was watching this tv show and then after the woman got raped, the police asked her if the man was "wearing" a condom. i finally found out what a condom was after i learned about sex and i put the whole condom, sex thing together.

I used to believe that condoms were supposed to go over the momma's breasts after childbirth since they always have milk leaking all over the place. Ya, I was about 9 or 10. Boy was I wrong.

Well this is actually about my little brother. About 2 years ago we were at the park near my house. He picked up a used condom he found on the ground note he was only 6 and started to put it to his mouth. I told him to stop he was really pissed because i would not let him blow up the balloon. He said he would tell on me and went to tell my parents. My dad laughed for like ten seconds then my mom gave him the stop incouraging him look. My dad told him to throw it away and wash his hads. we did not tell him what it was and he stayed pissed off for around 3 days that we wouldnt let him use the "balloon". He found out that it was a condom earlier last year when my whore of a neighbors told him. They are only ten and he is now eght at that point they were 9 and he was 7. He is now best friends with thim and like totaly their pimp.

When I was around 10 I saw an ad on the side of a bus that said "use condoms", but I read it as "used-condoms". So over the years I tried to understand this concept of "used condoms". I imagined it was only in San Francisco(where I saw the ad), maybe it had to do with AIDS, and why does no one else know about "used-condoms"? I saw a news report on condoms being passed out on the street in San Francisco of course I assumed that it had to do with "used-condoms". So as I got older and understood the usage of condoms I could never ever understand WHY I saw a sign that read "used condoms", and I just forced the question to the back of my mind. Untill sometime in my early 20's it surfaced and I realised,"OH- use condoms, NOT used-condoms". I had even started using condoms at the age of 13!, and still couldn't understand why I saw that ad. I laughed my head off!

This isn't really a belief.Just a story. When I was 11 I was in the show, "The Sound of Music" playing one of the kids. You know the microphone packs? They're little boxes that have the on off switch and stuff and a cord that runs up to the actual mic that you put on your face. The tech people had this idea to cover the mic packs with condoms. So before every show they put one over everyone's mic pack. One day, the girl who played Gretl, (age five) came up to me and asked what they put on the mic packs. I told her, "Um..special microphone covers." And she believed me. Boy was that close!

This girl in my cousin's class was obsessed with chocolate. There was this condom machine in the changing rooms at the swimming pool and it was sponsored by some chocolate company. the girl thought it was chocolate and bought some!!!

Chocolate condoms?!?!?

I was given the birds and bees talk at a nice young age, as I believe my parents were absolutely terrified (and rightly so!) about what I might hear later at school if they didn't head off the nonsense, as it were.

I was in a conservative family and had no concept whatsoever of sex for pleasure - I believed that people had extramarital sex because they wanted children but not each other, even by the time I was old enough that I should have known better . . .

For the life of me I couldn't figure out how a condom let sperm through but didn't let the AIDS virus through even though the AIDS virus is smaller. Confused me for two long years between ten and twelve - but no one wanted to talk about condoms, therefore it was very difficult to learn how they'd engineered this feat.

Oh, the strangeness of the world when I knew the relative size of sperm and viruses but not that people have sex for fun!!! Makes me laugh like mad now . . .

I used to think condoms were really thick, and men used to make fire inside a womans vigina! my friend once dared me to ask a lady if she had any condoms. i did! she said yes and actually gave me and my friend some condoms! we blew them up like balloons and threw them out of the window into a group of teens!

I used to think condoms were bubble gum... After mike moved out. I was cleaning the house and found several condoms. My mom told me to throw them away. I did. But a week later I wished Would have kept the condoms and used them for bubble gum.

P.S. They werent used condoms. Just making sure you know

when i was a pre-teen i knew a lot of things about sex...well, almost...i knew that you can get pregnant if the male doesnt have a condom on. and thats when i remembered masturbation. I thought that if you masturbate, and dont put a condom on yourself...you still can get pregnant through your finger.

Once my friend and my brother where in our town's public swimming pool and my brother found a condom floating around. We thought it was a balloon but when our friend's father saw my brother holding it he freaked out and said to stop touching it. We aske what it was but he told us to ask our parents which we never did. Were about 10 and decided against asking mom since we figured it had to be bad due to the reaction from my friend's dad.

When first told how babies were made I thought men and women "did it" when a baby was wanted. However I was totally dumbfounded when I found that they made condoms so men and women could have sex for pleasure and not make babies.I thought this was terribly "naughty" until later in life when my girlfriend and I had sex and used rubbers like other naughty persons.

My younger brother used to think that condoms were something like trading cards you show to your friends (courtesy of a TV show where the boy asked his dad for one and implied that it was so he could show it off). This led him to take one from my older brother's house and show it off to his friends in front of my dad. My dad took it away and then about a week or two later my younger brother saw a commercial on MTV about Fight for your Rights where the guy is trying to get a condom from the vending thingie and it won't give him one even after he's kicked it and stuff then there's a message like "No condom, no sex" or something and thats about when little brother caught on.
