When i was 9 i heard somthing about a condom, but didn't know what it was, and no one would tell me. at one point, i was online, and i saw and ad for free condoms, and there was a picture of a woman wearing some sort of sexual clothes, i dont remember what. after that, i thought a condom was a kind of woman's clothing.

My friend once put a condom on a school trip and thought he was a homosexual. Unfotunatley he said he couldnt get it off so all day he was walking round with a condom on saying it gave him a warm sensation

When I was young and I first heard the word condom, I thought it was a cross between a tampon and a pad.

When i was at spencer's gifts i asked my dad whats a condom and he said, well son, you know those things the make somone look like he or she is bald? One of those... Then i said... DADDY! YOU HAVE ONE ON RIGHT NOW!? I was 8 at the time. (13 now)

I used to believe that condoms were thin sheets of rubber that once put on the penis would stretch out to cover the entire shaft. Well i missed the condom section in our sex ed class and had to find out the real way, when one was put on me, what a shock huh!

when i was younger i found a condom in a user condom in a drawer in my parents room. it had semen in it and i thought it was snots. i thought it was a weird thing my dad used to blow his nose in...i dont think i even washed my hands after handling it..oh well

When I asked about the condom packets sold in stores, my parents told me they were nylons and I believed them.

When I was 7 a little boy brought his brother's condoms to school one day (the whole box!). Everyone seemed really impressed. The kid even blew up one and let it fly around the schoolyard! Me, wanting to act cool, pretended I knew what they were, not knowing what they were or that they related to sex.

when i was about8 ish my friends mum told me that a condom was a pair of trousers, but i didnt work out what it meant until a couple of years later, and alot of embarrissment later too!

when i was little i used to think the way to use a condom was to blow it up adn put it next to the bed on the night stand like a balloon on a string and it would protect you by lettin out a gass that you could breath and when the balloon was out of air you would be done having sex

Anon

when i was about 7 or 8 the first time i saw a condom was at the monster trucks. when i first saw it, it looked like a balloon so i went and picked it up. my mom saw me and told me to put it down because it wasnt a balloon then later on told me that it was a condom.

When I was about 7, I knew what a condom was but not how to use it. So I took one from my dad's draw, wondering what you do with it, I put it in my pants and walked about with it. I jumped on my brothers back and it fell out. My dad picked it up and was wondering where it came from and threw it away. Really weird? I thought they were for females lol! I was sooooo stupid. cool.

When my brother would go by condoms i thought that guys had period and that is what they used

When we were in 8th grade, there was this kid, which I feel terrible about now, but none of us liked him and he was quite slow. One day while our class was in the library we went up to him with a condom and told him it was bubble gum. He placed it in his month and chewed it and blew a bubble! It was mean looking back on it now, but still makes me laugh too.

When I was young, I remember seeing condoms in my father's drawer. My mother told me they were for gas. When I got older, I looked up the word condom in the dictionary and was more curious. I opened the package and was HORRIFIED! I was so scared that my father would find out I buried the condom and the wrapper in the backyard.

I didn't know what the word "condom" meant. Condom in Russian (my native language is Russian) sounds like "gandon". It was quite natual for me to call my cousin, Anton - "Anton-gandon". It was rhyme that mattered, not the meaning of the word! : )

I saw the coneheads. I was too young to know about condoms or anything involving sex. I just thought that whenever the coneheads chewed the condom it would blow up that way.

no knowledge whatsoever

when i was 5 i found a condom under my dads bed and i thought it was a special plaster for a boy penis but i fluushed it down the toilet

I thought till I was about 13 that condoms were like plastic cylinders that were supposed to be put on the penis.
