I shudder to think that I used to believe that oral contraceptives were taken so that ladies wouldn't get pregnant if a man came in her mouth.

Until I was 6, I thought that sex happened when a man kissed a woman between her legs. All I knew of men's bodies were my Ken dolls, so I figured the only sexual thing about men was their lips for kissing. I used to make my Barbies "have sex" all the time. One day my sister found me doing this, and told me that sex was when a man sticks his "ding dong" in your "hoo hoo" and showed me a book with the male genitalia. That was when I became a lesbian.

In high school I started noticing the change in my female friend’s derrieres. I thought that the change from having a skinny butt when they were in junior high to having shapely ones in high school was from having sex and that the penis inserted in the vagina pushed the butt cheeks subtly but permanently out and that the more times she had sex, the fuller and rounder her butt would become.

when i was younger i heard my parents having sex i was worried so i went into my older brothers room who said my mum was just having a nightmare and that i should leave her alone, but i walked in anyway and for ages afterwards i thought you only had nightmares if you were rubbing against a guy. Imagine my suprise when i had one

oooooooh dont think i should tell u that one

When I was 8 or 9 I was already pretty wise. I knew for example what position 69 was and how it was done. But I didn't know why it was called 69.

I used to believe that somewhere in the process of growing up you would be taught let's say 100 positions and everybody knew them. So that you could switch from 69 to 83 and then back to 14 and so on, and so on..

It took me many years to find out why position 69 is called that way

Sex Ed

When I was about 8 I heard about masturbation for the first time from my friend's older brother and his friend (they were about 14). They were talking about semen saying it was really really sticky, like super-glue. One of them said that if you get it on your hands it would stick them together and you'd never be able to get them apart. I was petrified. I believed this for years.

A friend told me all about humping when I was 8 or 9. It involved two people taking their pants off of course. Then one would lay down and the other one would jump on top of that person. To demonstrate he planned to jump from the handicap bathroom stall bar, which was about 3 off of the ground. He landed hard on me with all of his body weight. I decided that humping wasn't such a great thing that day.

When I was little I thought sex meant sleep since that's what it seemed like in movies. One day when I was sleeping with my dad my mom asked from another room "what are you doing?" and i said "I'm having sex with my dad!"

when I was really young, before I started "coming" during masturbation I read that it was really messy and got everywhere, so I thought it would be just like peeing. every time I did "it" I was worried I would start to come and it would collect into a big pile on the floor and start flooding or something...

My brother and I, after much discussion, thought we had figured out how babies were made. Unfortunately, lacking the knowledge of the female anatomy, and of the existence of a second fluid from the penis, we decided that the man put his penis into the woman's anus and urinated. (un)luckily, our mother overheard this and set us straight...somewhat; "you NEVER do that!" *THWACK*

I always thought that when a man and woman wanted to 'make a baby', their nipples had to be aligned as well as their nether regions!!
I just couldn't figure out what you would do if you were smaller than your boyfriend/husband!!!!

When I was younger, I thought sex was two peolpe pressing their nipples together.

When I was young (about 7 or 8), my mother took me on a trip to Washington D.C. We were in the gift shop of the Air & Space museum of the Smithsonian and I wanted some crappy toy that I saw in the window. Unfortunately, they were all sold out. Me, being a snot of a kid, started to have a fit & yelled " Oh yeah? I guess they had a gangbang & sold them all". She turned 6 shades of red & dragged me out of the store to a quiet corner, away from the snickering store patrons and asked me where I had heard that word. I explained that I had heard some older kids at school talking about getting together for a gangbang, and assumed it was some sort of large gathering of people. And while I was partially correct, I was still WAY WAAAAY off the mark!

When I was younger I heard the term "missionary position" on a television show. I was curious so I asked someone, I do not remember who, but I know it was an adult, and was told that it was a man lying on top of a woman during sexual intercourse. Unfortunately I did not dissociate the term "missionary" from sex and I thought that it was a man lying on top of a woman during sex, who was dressed like a nun. I don't remember but I amy have also thought that it could only be done in a foreign country.

I walked in on my parents having sex when i was about four. I told them that if i caught them again, I would call the police! I thought they were trying to kill each other!!!

My babysitter had a keychain that I found and it said something about being "horny" and when I asked her what it meant she told me that "horny" meant happy, so when I was like 6 I was running around telling everyone I was horny!

Leslie

My dad used to tell my sisters and I that before a boy could kiss us, he had to kiss my dad--the same way he wanted to kiss us!!
It worked for a while...

Until being correctly informed, I never knew that girls could 'cum', so when hearing the line "creaming over tough guys" in a song, i assumed that the girls just got out cans of whipped cream and squited them over the men! How embarrassed I was when i suggested we do this at a party!

Never having heard the word before, my first impression of the word 'heterosexual' was that is was a person attracted to gay people of the opposite sex.

This one is about my sister. My family and family of my family all used to hang out together. One day my sister who was about 9 at the time came crying to my mom that a cousin of a family member who was 13 had sex with her. My mom was in shock, the boy denied it of course. My mom then asked her what he did. She said he fell on her. She was convinced because he was on top of her they had sex.
