Imagine the look on my grandmother's face when I, her four-year-old granddaughter, asked "when do we get to chose whether we're mommies or daddies (women or men)? I thought peeing while standing was just SO cool, and I had already figured out that only the men get to stand, so, logically, the only barrier in my way was becoming a man. I wasn't looking forward to the whole shaving thing, and I really liked my long ponytail and my barbies, but I figured those were sacrifices I'd have to make.
My grandma was quite diplomatic but I was soooo crushed when she explained that my hose attachment option had expired at the factory. I think that's why we got those Childcraft encyclopedias so soon afterwards.

Tiff-tiff the terrible

I was probably about 6 or 7. I had a small rash a little below my belly button (the button on my pants was nickel, which i was allergic to). When I saw this, I ran into my mom's room yelling "MOM! I'M GROWING A PENIS!" I was quite distressed, for I liked being a girl.

It never grew in

When I was younger I thought men had two penises, one for peeing and one for having sex.

When I was about 8 I didn't know what sex was exactly. I didn't know about orgasms or that sex made babies for that matter! I had seen my mom naked before and I knew that girls had hair down there. I always said to myself that I wanted the girl's panties to be on when I had sex because I didn't want to have to touch that icky hair!

What? I was in second grade!

When I was younger my sister told me that if you pinched your nipples very hard for one minute your breasts would grow bigger. I went through many painful minutes with no results! Haha

I used to believe my penis, would grow to such an insane length, that space aliens would land on it, and then take over the world.

When I was at boarding school, a girl in my dormitory told me that you only grow when you're asleep, and if you slept on your front, you grew up flat-chested. I spent ages trying to get to sleep on my back, but gave up eventually and resigned myself to pancakedom in later life. Despite sleeping on my front, I'm now a 34F.

I remember the day my dad told my brother to refer to his penis as a "pecker." When I asked him what to call mine, he said something but my mother quickly sushed him. For many years, I was bitter because my brother had something to call his private parts, but I didn't.

When I was about 11 I decided that I didn't want to get a girl pregnent. So I told everyone I was getting a visectomy. At that time I thought that meant that you got your testicles removed.

My Little sister used to believe that everyone had unique shaped genetalier

I used to believe that only men had pubic hair. I think I got his crazy idea as a kid by seeing pornographic magazines where all the woman had shaved and the men were natural

the hairless wonder

I used to think that you got an erection because you were embarressed. I know why I thought that. In a book called 'The facts of life', there was a subtitle 'Embarressing Erections'. from this subtitle I concluded that you got an erection because you were embarressed. I must have been about 7-9..

I remember being about 4 and sitting naked in the tub. I was a little girl and thought I would eventually grow a penis, too. I thought that being a complete human being or grown up, meant having both genitals.

i used to believe that a penis was the same as a vagina except really long

*stupid*

I used to think that only women had pubic hair...i don't know why! i found out in fifth grade that men do too. maybe it was because i only saw my mom naked growing up, our dad always hid from us then. the only nude males i saw were my friends that were boys when we played the "i'll show you mine" game.

silly lil' girl

I used to believe that an erection was a curse that had somehow come upon me and that when I was gonna have sex (not quite knowing the mechanics of it at the time)I'd have to run to the bathroom and wait for it to go away before she'd notice and I'd be embarrased. Sad yet true....

When I was a kid, I remember seeing paperback romance novels and noting that when men were strong they had large breasts just like the women.

My best friend and I had a talk about pubic hair one day. We were in probubly 5th grade. We wondered why women in movies never had hair. We also thought that there was no way that these women would be on the movie set totally naked. We figured that their husbands must have painted a picture of their areas and then they taped them to their bodies to look naked!

Ariel and Jessica

I used to think an erection was for peeing over high walls.

when i was younger, i used to believe that 'testicles' were tentacles, so one day at school, our teacher asked what do you call the legs of an octopus, and i embarassly put up my hand and said, "testicles miss".
