I remember me and a group of friends sitting one evening discussing stuff-i think we were about 11. I think we all though virginity was when you had had sex..cos we all said we werent virgins!

the church can't come up with anything better than "young woman" when you ask them what a virgin is, so of course one day when someone asked me on the school bus if I was a virgin my response was something like "of course not, can't you tell just by looking?" it still cracks me up...

When I was younger, I believed that being a virgin meant being really holy, a level above sainthood since the only person with which I had ever heard the word "virgin" correlated was the Virgin Mary. When watching the movie It with my family, I heard one of the characters announce that he was still a virgin; at first, I thought that meant that the only other person as holy as Mary was that character in the movie.

Once me, my mom and sister were sitting in our living room when Madonna's " like a Virgin" came on the Radio" I was probably 5 or6 and I heard the line "touched for the very first time" and at that moment I proudly proclaimed to my sister and mother that I was not a Virgin because I had been touched lots of times.( I am not sure How I figured out being touched made you not a virgin, but I did) I didn't understand why they thought that was so funny..
Thanks Madonna for messing up little kids minds..

I thought that being a virgin meant you were having sex constantly and living in Virgina.

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

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 the third grade, we were outside playing at recess when several of the boys were asking the girls if they were virgins, Of course I didn't know what that was and thought It must be something bad because of the way they were snickering so of course I was sure to tell them I was not. Of course they had a field day with that and I was mortified when one of the other girls told me what a virgin was, needless to say I then tried to tell them I was but you know boys...It was sometime before they'd leave me alone about it.....

i was once told that a virgin was someone who had sex with a man from another country!

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

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...

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 a 'virgin' was a type of bird, sort of like a raven. i think i came up with this philosophy after hearing (and dancing to) "like a virgin" by madonna. hah come on, i was only 6..

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.

I used to belive that to loose your virginity would mean licking a girls (hairy part) and sucking a girls (headlights).

I used to think that virginity was a religion :)

When I was younger, a girl in my class said that a virgin was a make-believe character, as in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, etc. I believed her for a while.

WHEN I WAS 10 I THOUGHT BEING A VIRGIN WAS SOMETHING BAD. SO WHEN KIDS WOULD TEASE ME AND ASK ME IF I WAS A VIRGIN I WOULD SAY "HECK NO!"

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... -_-
