I used to believe that it was against the law to have sex before you were 18. I also thought when you got married the blood test you took was to make sure you were the same blood type because you would get AIDS if you weren't the same type... I spent my young existance afraid to fall in love with someone because we might not be the same blood type. I have no idea how I thought this up

when i was young i was watching some news show and it said a woman got raped. i asked my mom what it meant but she wouldnt tell me.

it sounded like "scrape" so i thought it meant "stab". the next day i went to school and i thought i was so cool i learn this new grown up word, but then this kid told me it didnt mean that but he also wouldnt tell me what it did mean.

it wasnt until i was like 11 or 12 that i realized what it meant

When I was a kid, my sister told me a story about a guy who had raped a young girl. I didn't know what raped meant, so I thoguht she meant raked. I pictured a guy running a rake across the girls back. How awful I thought to myself.

when i was little i used to think masterbation meant to buy big bait since i heard it on TV and didn't know what it was. when i walked in on my brother one day he was naked doing something to his penis. he said he was masterbating but i said he wasn't because it was something else. then he explained everything and then i knew what it was

When I was in elementary school, they gave us a very very basic sex ed class. This included labeling anatomical diagrams. This did not include the concept of an erection. Thus, it was a few years before I realized that it didn't require you to be in a position that shoved your feet in each other's faces.

feeling rather silly

I thought that sex was pronounced 'sax' for some reason. One day a friend of mine wanted to annoy me, and started yelling 'SAX!' at the top of his lungs. I was really embarressed, so I started yelling to drown him out so my mom wouldn't hear.

My sister told me once when i was 9 that masturbation meant wiping your bum after you had been to the loo, she told me to ask dad what it was if i didn't believe her and i couldn't understand why she was laughing so much. So i asked him and he went into a rather detailed explaination about it all, i was rather embarrased after that but my sister was worse as she was sitting next to me in the car when i asked him LOL!

I used to believe that if i jacked off it would fall off and i would go blind.

Sometimes when I was a little kid, I would play with my self(and I don't mean playing a game by myself)and my parents would tell me never to do that. I knew nothing about sex or masturbation at this age, so I though that my parents didn't want me doing this simply because it was unsanitary.

whenever I knew my parents were "doing the naughty", I never understood exactly what they were doing.. all I heard was my mom and I used to believe she was having a baby.

My parents would not let us watch TV at nights in Europe cuz they said there was Sex on TV. As a result, I thought that Sex was invented on TV/Media. I thoguht people learned sex through watching TV so sex must have been something new that was going on.

I used to think making out and sex was the same thing... I had a huge argument with my older sister about it. Wow she musta thought I was an idiot...

Anon

i used to think sex was just when adults got naked, went to bed, and kissed a lot

When i was about 9 years old, my friend joey would constantly make jokes about masterbating (maybe he just discovered it who knows)he would make the hand gesture of "beating off" but i thought for a very long time after that boys got pleasure from punchin themselves hard and repeatedly in the penis...

hahah boy, i was WAAAY off.

I used to believe I was the only one in the world that could pleasure myself. This was before I had an inkling of a clue what masturbation was. I would invision myself getting on the news becasue this incredible buy could have sex with himself.

I used to think that when people had sex, the man would put his penis in the woman's vagina and leave it there all night.

I used to believe that having sex made you gain weight. I got this from the movie "VisionQuest" where Matthew Modine had sex with Linda Fiorentino and then had to make weight for a wrestling match.
