I used to believe that a blowjob was when youput a guys penis into your mouth and then started to blow until you finally blew it out of your mouth...

I used to believe that oral sex meant the same thing as French kissing. Since sex means putting penis into a vagina, and oral means mouth, it just seemed logical that oral sex would involve swapping spit.

Fortunately, I learned the truth in my early teens. The credit goes to late-night HBO.

When I used to go to the dentist when I was about 6/7 I was always reading the posters and thought that oral sex was just kissing. One day my curiosity got the better of me and I shouted out to my mum

"MUM! What's oral sex??"

She ushered me over all crimson faced and said she'd tell me when I was older. I since found out, but not from her. Sometimes I think I should ask her just to embarrass her a bit!

During my young adolescence my dad occasionally worked in the public schools in the nearby bigger city, while my siblings and I were educated elsewhere. This was sort of a 'culture' moment for him every so often, and he took it seriously and would come home with sometimes horrified stories of a "what the world's children were coming to now" sort of nature (he and my mother also grew up in a very strict religious background)- young teens pregnant in the 6th grade more and more often, kissing making out and playing what they called "tonsil hockey" (which equaled a sort of glorified French kissing) at a young age on the playground.

These stories really impressed me, and so I thought I was all wizened up and knowledgable when I heard about the "tonsil hockey." When I started hearing about oral around that same time from some other source, I surely thought that this "oral sex" must be just like the bad "tonsil hockey" of the school children and that both were French kissing/deep/ heavy kissing.

I was pretty horrified when I found out what oral sex really was (I think it was the Clinton era that enlightened me- ah, the joys of growing up during the happy go lucky years of Clinton/Gore and free sex for all!), and even worse yet later, that my parents had done it with each other at my age. I could absolutely not understand why anyone would want to do such a thing or how this could be "moral."

I am still single and mostly inexperienced at the ripe age of 22. I think my sex education journeys were always a bit disturbing to me, while eventually thorough!

I came of age during the mid-nineties, right around the time Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know" came out. I remember I was really into it it and so were my friends, but I didn't understand one part of it. I remember saying to my friend, "what does she mean by go down on you?"
I thought she meant sitting on the guy's lap. My friend said to me that it was talking about blow jobs. I didn't know what these were and so I asked.
Well, needless to say she told me what a blow job was.
I was so utterly disgusted!
I said in horror, "people DO THAT?!"
We both agreed we would NEVER do that to a guy ever.

When I was younger, I heard the term "blow job" and believed it was when someone put their mouth on the end of the penis, and blew as hard as they could, as if blowing up a balloon.

when i was in 5th grade these guy said to me some boy wants you to give him a blow job.so naturally i thought he wanted me to use a hair dryer and blow on his willy.

I used to believe..up until two years ago actually, that a blow job was a sort of hairstyle.

Yet another one of my misunderstandings that my friends had to sort out for me. After I had asked very loudly in the school dining room what it was.

Until I was 13 years old, I thought that a blow job was when a woman blew on a man's penis, which caused it to get hard..

In elementary school we'd given oral reports standing in front of the class. I didn't know what oral meant so I assumed it meant "to stand." When I first heard about oral sex I believed it meant "to have sex standing up." I believed this for many years.

Anon
