Hmm, another is...oh, yeah. I guess as a kid I was a kind of "scared of God" person. So, I believed all these relatively petty "crimes" would send me to Hell. FOREVER. Including having sex before you were married...I think I even wrote one of those stupid letters to myself in the future when I was 9, and I was gonna open it in ten years. I wrote something like, "If you have a boyfriend right now, you should be ashamed of yourself...you have to focus on college..." blah, blah, blah. I wondered where they sold chastity belts, actually...especially after Scary Movie.

I used to think that being a "virgin" meant you weren't married or in a romantic relationship. This was because they used the term "Virgin Queen" when we learned why virginia got its name when jamestown was settled.
This was back in like 3rd or 4th grade, and I thought that for a while until I heard the term "virgin" used in other ways, and then I wasn't sure, so I looked it up, and sure enough, I was lied to originally.

One time when I was younger I had asked my sunday school teacher what a virgin was. You know, cuz of the Virgin Mary? She said ti was someone who hasn't had a baby yet... -_-

When i was about 7, i was a really big rocky horror picture show fan. I knew that if you've never seen the rocky horror picture show live you were considered a virgin, so i thought that this was the actual definition of the word. A virgin was someone who never saw that movie live. I even told my Aunt that she was a virgin because of it. Thinking back it does explain her reaction of utter confusion...

When I was 5, I believed(because of the Virgin Mary) that a virgin was like a nun or something(?). About 2 years later, I was watching something on tv and one person was using the word virgin in context with sex. they didn't exactly define virgin, so i just went with what seemed logical at the time and assumed a virgin was someone who was unable to have a baby.

I thought being a vegetarian was cool and i had just learned what it meant, no eating meat. So one day me and my cousin and her friend were paling with those old Polly dolls from the 90's and I sad my was a virgin meaning to say vegetarian. Well i found out what it really meant. how i got the two mixed up I don't know!

I was born in September and therefore am a virgo zodiac sign. When I first heard the word "virginity", I thought that anybody who was born in September had virginity. I thought a virgo and a virgin were the same thing!

Clueless Virgo

I first heard the word virgin on the television, when I was about 9, and I asked my parents what that meant. My dad told me that it means that it was a person who had not slept with anyone. To confirm, I said that means you and mommy are not virgins and he said yes. I thought he meant slept together as in the same bed and thats it. For months until I found out what sex was, i thought me and my brother werent virgins because we used to nap on the same bed in the afternoon!

When I was in fourth grade I went to a private Christian academy. We were discussing something about jesus and mary and someone asked what a virgin was. Our teacher told us that a virgin was a woman who was unmarried. Luckily most of us were smarter than that already.

My mom once told me that if you only had sisters, you were a virgin.
