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.

when i was like 6 or 7 we went to this health fair and kids that age like balloons...well i picked up what i thought were balloons (after a few tries because the lady would not let me have them) i brought them hope and asked my mom to open the package....she laughed because what i thought were balloons were actually condoms.....explains everything..

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.

i thought condoms were for women, since they looked like that they were round and flat.i thought that they would put it on top of their vagina and had sex.

i was so stupid!

still stupid now

Until i was about 11 or so, i used to believe that condoms were articles of clothing. I thought that when someone said to use protection, or wear a condom when u have sex to have safe sex, that meant that they needed to leave on there underwear (boys), and women needed to leave on their panties, cause well, ya know!!!

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!

I used to find condom wrappers under my parents bed and I always thought that they were the stridex face wipes.I never knew the truth until I was about 12:-D lmao

When I was in 7th grade, I was in my best friend's mother's car with my best friend Kelsea (also in 7th grade) and her brother Alex. Kelsea was nervous about taking the sex-education class that would be coming in a week or two and asked her mom if it's true that they teach you to put a condom on a banana. Her mom explianed that they probably don't and that it was just something that you see in movies. About 5 minutes later, when we were well off the subject, 8 year old Alex asked "mom, what's a "condomon"?". It was hilarious... we laugh about it to this day!

when i was little we stayed in a apartment complex for a few months. one day while over at my friend's (right across the hall) we found one of her dad's condoms, she thought it was a balloon and tried to blow it up. XD

Up until I was fifteen, I thought a condom would actually just stop a guy from coming. They'd orgasm, but the condom would stop ejaculation. Crazy, I know.

From the time I first heard about condoms to today after I found out the truth, I used to think that condoms where like glycerin supposatories (Those little lubricated things people stick up their butt when they are constipated, haha) that men stuck up their "thing". Today I learned that they are actually a plastic thing men slide over the thing.

i used to think that condoms were really just funky shaped ballons/water ballons so me and my little sister used to blow them up or fill them up with water until i was like 10 and really found out what they were for!

I got sooo embaressed when i found out

I used to think that condoms were just little discs you stuck on the end.
