My father used to work at the US Post Office. He used to leave little rubber finger covers lying around the house--grippers use to help sort through letters...I was never sure, but I always suspected those were rubbers.

When I was little, I discovered condoms (still in their wrappers) in my parents' bathroom and naturally had to ask my mother. She just told me it was to prevent making a baby. I assumed from the way the looked, they went on the woman's breasts during sex and somehow prevented a baby. I didn't know the basics of sex at that time...

I used to think that a condom was similar to a nicotine patch, you could just stick it to your arm and you wouldn't get pregnant!

When I was younger, about 5-years old, I was at a drug store and I saw something peculiar. They were in boxes below a sign that I could not read. To my small brain it looked like a ring-like bandaid. I thought you put it on the tip of your finger, roll it up, and it acted like a finger-glove or a tourniquet. They seemed like a childrens toy because they came in so many colors! Was I surprised when I learned to read later on in life!

when i was in second grade i heard for the first time, someone mention condoms and for many years thought it was two velcro circles and they would both wear one on their private parts and would stick themselves together and go to sleep cuddling.

i have no idea where i got that!

I had a friend who thought that flavoured condoms where so that there would be a nice smell during sex, not for a nice taste during... another activity. She believed this until we were 17 yearts old and i told her what was what, she was totally disgusted and I am not sure if she believed me!!

My friend was at a restraunt with some family and her little cousin (5 yrs or so) had to use the washroom and her aunt asked her to take her. After her cousin used the toilet she asked my friend what the Condom Dispenser was, my friend told it was candy and she rushed out of the bathroom. After dinner my friend went to use the bathroom and as she opened the door she heard her cousin complaining to her mom to buy her candy! You can imagine how shocked her mother was!

My friend was once in CVS with her mom and was wandering around the store. She saw a package with 4 little round things in it, and assumed they were little lipglosses because they said "strawberry flavored" on them. She brought them to her mom and asked her if she could buy them for her, let's just say my friend didn't read the packaging well enough...

When I was in grade 4, me and my friend were walking up to his house after school. We saw this pole with white out on it or somthing and my friend said that it was a condom and that a man painted it on ther penis before having sex so the girl wouldent have a baby. I believed that until i found a condom wrapper and opend it up and saw that it was like a baloon. but thats a nother story.

This isn't my moment but it's another friends.

We were learning sex ed in about fourth grade, and the teacher was explaining about condoms. My friend misunderstood and thought the guy puts a plastic bag, like from a grocery store, on his thing! We were trying not to laugh so hard.

When I was little, my rarely saw my parents kiss, or hug, or have any type of physical contact. This was not because they disliked each other or had a bad relationship, but because they were like any other normal, Asian parents. So one day, when I stumbled into my mom and dad's closet and found a box of condoms, I was incredibly confused. I used to think that perhaps my dad wore the condoms everyday to protect himself from getting raped by other, nasty women. I refused or never really believed that my parents who *gasp* ever have sex together.

I went to Florida when I was in my early twenties. I saw what I thought were a bunch of used, blue condoms on the beach and I was disgusted with the lack of hygiene. But it turned out that they were jellyfish.

up untill fairly recently when we had to put condoms on bananas for sex ed, i thought that condoms were small cap type things that were only about two centermetres long and a man just put it on the end of his penis like a hat. I was always thinking no wonder they fall off all the time.

Sam

i used to believe condoms where some kinda hair rubber band for girls haha

it's pretty embarrassing now lollll

pat

when i was little i was in a public bathroom in the mall with my mom and i was reading one of those despencer things with condoms and stuff and i asked my mom "why do they have napkins in here if you can get them in the food court?"

Jillian

okay this is weird. I thought that that since people are constantly talking about the infamous "put the condom on the banana," the banana peel was the condom.
Yeah.
I wouldn't eat bananas for 3 year.

When I was little I had the belief that people who use condoms will have children with the same colors as them... white,black,yellow. Later I learned it`s not like that and I was a little disapointed cause I wanted a black sister with curly hair and a perfect smile.
