i used to think that i was really a boy because i had my clitoris which i thought was a penis and also when i got horny then this liquid came out which i thought was sperm...also i didnt get boobs till really late so i thought i was really a boy, which scared me.

I used to believe that when babies where born they all had penises and if the parents wanted it to be a girl the would push the penis in and when the baby got older breasts grew because the penis took up to much room.

I used to be Firmly Convinced that breasts were actually called 'Roses'. My mum spent ages trying to tell me it wasn't, but I still held onto my belief.

To tell the truth, it always used to annoy me that the word 'roses' had two different meanings.

I used to believe that all babies (boys and girls) got circumsized. once i heard a classmate talking about babies being circumcised and he didn't specify whether it was boys or girls so i went home and asked my mom one day if i was circumcised. "She replied, only boys get circumsized junie." "hmm, didn't know that" I replied. well, now i know.

After being taken into the male changing rooms at the swimming pool when i was about 4, I became very curious about men. I believed that i din't have a penis because i was born a girl and would grow one when i was older, but when i became 30 it would be chopped off. I was very envious of boys because they got to keep it all they're lives.

I used to think that the bladder was inside or part of the testicle sac.

I was homeschooled until I was 16, so I was kind of sheltered. Anyway, I used to think that when you were born, your parents decided what sex you would be and if you were a boy, they would cut the umbilical cord off really long and if you were a girl, they would take the whole thing off. My entire knowledge of male anatomy came from seeing my little brother naked when he was a baby before his testicles descended, so I didn't know about testicles. Anyway, when I got older and started exploring myself a bit, I found my clitoris and I thought I was growing a penis! I was so scared for a long time!

Well i got told by my dads side of the family that if you stuck you thumb in your mouth and held your breath you would get bigger boobs. They told me my aunty did it when she was little so i had to try it. Sadly when i was 12 i developed the theory behind it as well and told my niece. See when you hold your breath the air tries to get out and the pressure has to be released so it goes straight forward....making your boobs bigger. Of course this isn't only for girls, because guys don't have boobs, when they hold their breath/blow on their thumb it goes into their muscles.

Big boobs

i used to beleive that girls didnt wear braws there boobs were just like that.....

i used to believe that girls had a wee hole and a poo hole and that was it and wen u gave birth it came out ur poo hole i believed dis until yr 6 wen we had sex education!

Until I was 12 years old I thought that boy could control their erections and make their penis erect when they wanted to have sex. So when my boyfriend showed me his penis for the first time it was naturally erected. No need to tell you my reaction!

Oops!

I used to believe that the reason I didn't have a penis is because it fell off and i lost it somewhere. I also thought girls were people with long hair and boys had short hair and so naturally i threw a fit when ever my mom tried to cut my hair because i liked being a girl.

I used to think that there was a hole in a womans private area for each use: one for pee, one for poo, one for sex, one for your period, and one for the baby to come out.

I always knew that if you kicked a guy in the, 'middle',it would really hurt him.I figured that sence females like myself don't have a 'middle',it would not hurt if something hit us in the loins.(And because of an episode of King of the Hill.)

I found out when I was 9 after I crashed my bike and the peddle hit me down there that yes,it does hurt.A lot.
