So until like three years ago, I had heard the term "Female condom" and didn't know how that would work. I knew women didn't have anything that a regular condom would fit over, so I was utterly baffled.

A little while later I came to the conclusion that a Femal condom was a rubber tampon.

I used to believe condoms looked like bandaids.

When I was 9 I had been to a service station and my friend bought something out of the machines in the toilets. He then proceeded to spend four quid on these things, opening them and trying to fathom what they were. When we got back on the bus, he managed to unroll them and when we got to france, he tryed to blow one up to put at the end of his bed. He blew up the other one and hung it at the end of my bed. I just thought that they were balloons And I thought I would jopin in the fun and we had blowing up competitions. They both burst in the end but it wasn't until three years later I found out we did Swex education we learned what they were used for. My fried was sick.

When I was about 6 ,I saw my dad in the bathroom standing over the toilet taking a condom off of his Penis and throwing it in the trash can.I thought it was something he put on to pee in so he didn't have to get up at night.When I went in the bathroom and took it out of the trash,I couldn't understand why daddy's pee was thick and sticky.

I was 13 years old when I was told by my pal that condoms are "things" used to prevent having a baby after sex. I used to see women taking pills to avoid pregnancy on TV. Thereon, I mixed up my conclusions and started to believe that condoms are actually tablets used to avoid having a baby and thus come in different flavors - strawberry, chocolate, etc. LOL!

I used to believe that condoms went into the vagina, and after sex, you would take it out. I also that i was the only one who knew how to masterbate.

Silly Me

I used to think that condoms were little circles that girls would put in their vagina to stop from getting pregnant (somehow), since when my friend Niz showed me a packaged one, it looked like a little circle covered in plastic. One day I saw a commercial for condoms, and it was a long tube-like thing, so I asked Niz about it. She looked at me strangly, and said, "No, these are for guys. They fold out, and guys put them on their...y'know, dick", And I felt REALLY stupid.

When I was very young I thought you placed a condom only on the tip of you penis. I could not understand how it would not work its way lose during intercourse.

i was maybe 6 or 7 at the time and went looking in my parents drawers because they had hidden my favorite toy. i had stumbled upon something...there were a bunch of colorful "thingies" wrapped up individually. i always thought they were candy, up until about 5th grade, when i learned what a condom was.

Anon

When I was first told how a man rolled the condom on his penis so as to be able to screw (we used that term when young) his girlfriend and not to make a baby, I couldn't believe it was true. My penis was so tiny and the condoms I had seen were so huge it just couldn't be the truth but when I grew up I found they fit just fine.

I used to believe that the masks used by carpetners were condoms because when I found it in the laundry drawer my Dad seemed really embarassed

I used to tell my parents all the time that when I grew up I was going to live in a Condom. Not realizing that the correct abbreviation was CONDO, not condom.

Before I found out people have sex for pleasure I was told a condom was to stop a man peeing inside the woman. Ithought this was clever since there must have been a special filter to let the sperm through!

When I was little I was in a shop at the beach and saw those condoms on a stick. I asked my dad what they were and he told me suckers and I cried for the rest of the day because he wouldn't buy one for me.
