I used to believe that sex was something that happened at night while you were sleeping and that if a man was going to sleep in your bed then he had to put a condom on before to stop him getting you pregnant

When I was three or four, I went into my mom and dad's bedroom when they weren't paying attention (they weren't in their room either). I found my mom's vibrator and didn't know what it was and (yep, you guessed it) started playing with it. Now, it didn't look like a penis, it was just shaped like one. And you know, since pills are long and skinny and so are penises, I thought the vibrator was a giant pill with HUNDREDS of tiny pills inside. My mom had always reffered to taking pills when she didn't feel good, and that particular night I didn't feel good. So I tried EVERTHING to get the"giant pill" open so I could be a big girl and take a grown up pill just like Mommy did! I even tried getting it open with my teeth (EW!!!). Days later I asked my mom why she kept all her pills in the "giant pill" and when she replied "What giant pill??," I explained to her what happened. Then she told to me what it was, what it was used for, and that I should never touch it again! (You can imagine how akward that was!). Now that I'm 28 and married, I still reffer to vibrators as "giant pills."

Up until i was about 13, i used to think that masturbation was when a man shoved a condom up a woman. i know better now.

LOL

When I finally asked my mother about the birds and the bees, she left out the part about penetration. She said, "The man and the woman lie down on top of each other and they just fit." I eventually decided the penis would curl up like a larvae and that the woman would wrap her labia around it.

When my nephew was about 11-12 he asked his grandparents if it did hurt to make love to someone. They answered him: "No, why should it hurt?" He replied "doesn't it hurt when you have to put the balls inside?"

I was given the sex talk pretty young with all the proper terms, but still didn't have a realy correct idea of it. I thought the man and woman laid side by side or on top of each other, connected, kissing. I thought kissing was just holding lips together. Didn't sound very exciting.

I don't know how my parents managed it, but I don't remember a time before I completely understood where babies came from or exactly what sex was. My friends apparently weren't so lucky. During 5th grade sex ed class, my dear girl friend, once she fully comprehended what she was learning, shuddered so hard that she fell off her chair.

When my Bro told me about sex, I thought it was a way if a man couldnt find a bathroom, he could just pee in his wife's "hole"

I use to think that sex and making out were the same thing

moron

I used to beleive when somebody said that they slept with someone I thought it just meant they slept and didn't do anything. So when I told someone I had slept with my ex-girlfreind (we did) she got very angry at me, but I didn't know why.

Havn't had a girlfreind for awhile...

i used to think that after people had sex they died, so when my sister and i happened upon mom and dad in bed, they were pretending to be asleep when we opened the door, i started crying and convinced my sister they died.

she started screaming and crying then we ran around the house freaking out until my mom miraculously came back to life wearing a bath robe and calmed us down...my sister still kicks me for it.

When I was eight was begging my older brother to tell me what sex was. The nine year old girl from accross the street heard my plight and whispered it in my ear when my nrother wasn't looking. For about two years I thought sex was a man and is wife lying naked in bed together.*

*they had to be under the covers and sleeping.

I used to think that having sex meant leaving your penis inside a woman's vagina overnight and peeing in your sleep.

Having bugged my mum on a really long car drive for about an hour on how ladies got pregnant she snapped and yelled 'Becuase a man puts his penis in her vagina!'. Being very young I didn't know about erections, but i did know that the vagina was hidden away between the legs so I came to the horrific conclusion that the man and woman's legs had to be broken so that the penis could get at the vagina! I wondered why anyone would go through that to have a child.

When I was young, some of my cousin's were teasing me about one of my friends who were a girl. They said do u have sex with her at midnight? So i thought it was a tease word. So at the car, i asked my parents that question, and got into big trouble

When I was around seven or eight, my best friend decided that having sex is where you pee into each other. I was really concerned at this point because I didn't want to pee in front of anyone, especially a boy for that matter. My house is an open household so my mother would walk in while I was peeing all the time. After this news about sex I wouldn't let anybody in while I was using the bathroom.

I finally confronted my mother and she gave me the whole story including a book; 'Our Bodies, Ourselves'. So I knew way too much about sex early on. I told my friend and she felt as awkward as I did.

Though I'm almost twenty now and I'm still freaked out about peeing in front or within earshot of other people.
