When I first discovered the little red "bump" by my hole as a child that I later found out was my clitoris, I thought for many years that it was actually a really tiny penis. This bothered me, because I knew I was a girl and I wasn't supposed to have one of those. I thought I was some sort of freak because I had a vagina AND a penis. I knew I was a girl because I had 3 older brothers and they were shaped different and talked different so I knew I wasn't like them. I started to believe that I was definitely a girl, but because my mom had given birth to so many boys before she had me that there was "boy juice" left inside her and that's why I was born with a small penis too.
Finally one day I sucked up my pride and asked my mom about it. She told me that what I had there was perfectly normal and it was just another piece of my vagina. I was so very relieved......

Whenever boys would get hit in the crotch by a ball or something, they'd be like "ow my nuts!" so I thought "nuts" just referred to the area between your legs, and I didn't know it hurt a lot more for boys to be hit there than for girls. So whenever a ball would hit me in between the legs I'd be like "ow my nuts!"

In grade 3 or 4 a boy asked me if I had a penis, and I said yes, because my concept of a penis was simply just where you peed out of (“PEEnis”). Silly me.

i used believe and erection was when your testicles went into your penis

My dad likes rock n' roll music, and when I was a toddler he would listen to it and I would dance. There was this one song called "Big Balls" or something like that by ACDC. I thought it was a song about those huge plasticy balls in those huge bins at Wal-Mart and K-Mart. I belived this until I was ten or so, and my parents still make fun of me.

when i was a kid my mom told me that there were sharp teeth in the vagina, naturally this scared me beyond belief....come to think about it, it's probably a huge part of why i'm now gay lol

when i was a kid for some reason i believed that boys had 2 penises, one to go to the bathroom out of and one to make babies with, i was really embaressed that i only had one and would never go to the bathroom in public for fear of someone seeing that i only had one

My mom and I were watching a movie that mentioned sex when I was about 7, so when I asked about it, she breifly explained things to me, not wanting to decieve me or lie. However, I didn't know what anything looked like.

Later, I was at my cousin's house, and my cousin and my brother were rough-housing. My cousin yelled, ouch, you kicked me in the balls!" I knew the place he was hurt was supposed to be where a "penis" was, but I didn't know why it was called "balls." I figured a penis must be shaped like a snowman, made of balls of skin. I thought this basically until sex ed in school.... ]_[

After discovering masturbation at very early age on my own, and not knowing anything about sex, somehow I concluded I have discovered a substitute for narcotics and would be awarded for my invention.

I used to believe (about 9) that a penis was a sausage that men stuck in their crutch area to attract women.

Feebs.

when i was a little girl i asked santa for a penis for christmas. i thought it was a really awesome toy.

haha

After having been given "the talk" by my Mom at around age 8, and given a picture book (*ACK* I don't yet know how I'm going to deal with this with my kids, but I don't think it'll be via picture book!) giving some of the (very few) details of baby-making, it never occurred to me that a boy's privates got firm in order to make the "grand entrance." I had seen only my father and a baby cousin naked, so I always had this idea in my head of grown-ups doing strange contortions in order to slide the very limp member into the girl's private area. So it was with blissful innocence I that I just smiled when, in middle school, some of the boys in my class teased me about another classmate getting "hard" after I had naively run my hand through his hair, just the way I had with my younger cousins... I had no idea what they were talking about, and I was quite shocked (and somewhat relieved) some years later when I discovered that that wasn't exactly the way things were done. :O)

I used to have a bath with my brother until I became extremely embaressed...
It was bath night and me and my brother were playing "Slip 'n' slide" in the bath, this consisted of us both soaping up and whizzing round a dry bath.
We were draining the water and my brother had the soap, he dropped it and I grabbed for it, I found something and tried to pick it up... I soon realised it wasn't the soap and was actually my brother's private part.
I asked my mum why I didn't have one and she said that I was a girl.
I was so confused,
my mum had always said that me and him were so alike and I realised we weren't.
