In my family sex isn't really a talked about subject, so when I was younger (almost in high school) I thought sex was just a dirty thing perverted people did and had nothing to do with getting pregnant. I remember thinking I'd be so embarassed if I ever found out anyone in my family had ever had sex. By the way, my mum has seven children.

When I was young, I knew that men had penises and women had vaginas and that the semen went into the vagina to make the baby. I wasn't really sure how the semen found its way into the vagina because to my knowledge, which happened to be based on some soft-core porn that I had stumbled across, the man rubbed his penis against the woman's stomach area during sex.

When my friend was little she used to think that you had to put yes or no for sex but then she found out that it was a gender thing LOL

I asked my mother what a 'homosexual' was when I was 11. She said it was when men danced together.

When I was little, I thought that the "sex" section on a driver's license told people how good you were at sex. I always tried to figure out what "M" and "F" stood for, exactly. Which one was bad, and which one was good?

When I was about 8 a friend at school told me that sex was when a man pissed inside a woman. I confidently told him that this was rubbish and informed him that the man sprayed semen inside the woman and that semen was a kind of milk

By the time I was 5, I had figured out that in order to produce a baby the "daddy parts" somehow had to touch the "mommy parts". I was very confused as to how this occurred though, as I believed that the daddy and the mommy had to lie down on the floor butt to butt, and that this action would trigger the "baby making switch". Furthermore, I thought the "daddy parts" were pointy like a knife, but with a bee stinger at the end...that was how I rationalized the strange noises I sometimes heard from my parents' room at night.

Growing up in the jump and praise the lord... stomp your feet, get filled with the holy ghost church life, we always had the classic pipe organ looming above us from the pews while the preacher droned on about who knows what and some blind man resembling Stevie Wonder pounded away on the damn thing.

We felt so proud to have one because not every church in our slum-like nieghborhood could even dream to afford an organ.

To beat the boredom. Me and a bunch of other "sinners" lol, would talk about sex. (Or what we thought was sex.) i know we must've sounded like a bunch of Booboo the Fools, who didn't know what the heck what we were takling about but we wanted to sound "manly" or "womanly"

One day some lug nut proudly boasted that they had an "orgasm" in the bathroom. Being the sheltered kid that i was, and lacking the street smarts my other friends so graciaously possessed, I took one look at the pipe organ and assumed "orgasm" was just another "fancy hip" word for a pipe organ. Hence the two sounded so much the same (Gee, im smart.)

Anyways this theory stayed with me... until Christmas time that is. Being the musical person I am, I wouldn't think it would be a bad idea if i could own a pipe "orgasm" of my very own. Imagine the pastor's surprise and my mother's face when I came out and said that I wanted to get an "orgasm" for Christmas. Of course i used "orgasm" to show of my profound knowledge.(Like I said before, i was smart.)

The pastor's eyes just about fell on the floor, my mother hit me with her purse... and my fellow "friends" laughed their asses off when word of my orgasm wish hit the streets of my small neighborhood. Lets just say going back to school was tough.

Yeah... I can still hear them laughing and every time I come down to visit someone always says "Hey Richie... you still want that orgasm?"

My younger brother thought that having sex was just being naked. My dad was taking a shower and my little bro told my mom that dad was having sex in the bathroom.

I WAS A CURIOUS KID WITH VERY OPEN MINDED PARENTS SO I ASKED MOM IF SEX HURTED. SHE SAID THAT IN FACT IT COULD HURT REAL BAD THE FIRST TIME IF YOU DIDN'T DO IT RIGHT AND YOU WEREN'T WET ENOUGH. IMAGINE HOW MANY TIMES I WONDERED HOW MUCH WATER I WAS SUPPOSED TO POUR ON MY PENIS TO KEEP IT FROM HURTING!!

i used to believe that homosexual meant that you did it with stuff in the home

Up until the time I was 13 or so, I used to think that kissing was something that was only done on TV or the movies. Then one day when the family went on vacation I saw a couple on the airplane kissing and was so stunned to see that it really was done in real life that I had to announce it to the whole plane. Needless to say, my Mum pretended I wasn't her child for the rest of the flight.

When we were about 12, my friend said during a class of 25 students that 'it must hurt to have sex', when asked why he replied 'because it must be hard to fit your balls in!!'. Everyone laughed for a long long time.....

But he was adamant that the penis and the testicles had to go in the vagina and argued that we were all wrong because 'how else is the sperm meant to get in!!'

"Rape" meant that someone would force you to undress, and then steal your clothes, leaving you naked in a strange place. It was an especially cruel type of practical joke, causing great embarrassment.

I used to believe that there was always a baby inside a girl, just waiting to come out. Whenever I went to the bathroom, I'd be too scared to poop because I thought that if I pushed too hard, a baby would come out, fall in the toilet and drown.

I once heard my parents having sex in the bedroom, and walked in on them, and thought they were playing a fun game ! The next day i kept asking if i could play next time !!! LOL

In the school yard when i was six we used to argue about what sex was in the school yard. One day a boy said he had seen his mother on-top of his father. We all were convinced he was lying, cos in the movies men werealways on top and we were convionced that that was how it was done.

When I was in 5th or 6th grade and had heard the word 'orgasm' but didn't know what it meant, I figured it meant some kind of organ in your body or something. So one day when I heard these two girls talking about orgasms in class one day, I happily joined in and said, "Yeah, well I think Kidneys are better than orgasms! Orgasms don't really do anything, and kidney's have a funner name!"

When I was about 9 I thought lesbians were just beple from a country called Lesbia. I was playing The sims and and I made a family... they were all girls cuz i was a girl... I called them the lesbians... later my older brother was playing and asked if I made it. I said Yes... He had to explain to me what lesbians Really Ment. I was sooooo embarassed!!! lol

Lesbia

I used to believe that lesbians and gay men dated eachother-my powers of logic were highly developed but unfortunately I was still muddled. I thought that lesbians were women who wanted to be men because they wanted to date girls, and gay men were men who wanted to be women so they could date men-so naturally, a lesbian would seek a gay man, in my eyes. My mum set me straight before the whole homosexuality thing could turn into insults for my classmates.
