When I was little a schoolmate of mine came up, and asked me if I was a virgin (In my opinion he was just excited that he knew what being a virgin meant, and he started asking) but I didnt have a clue of what it meant. The only place that I had heard that word was: The virgin Mary, so trying to look like I knew what he was talking about, I said no (I had assumed it was something like you were a saint) the boy teased me so much, and I still didnt get why. Then a teacher explained what it meant, I was so ashamed; from that point on I always ask about things I dont know.

I used to think that you only didn't have your virginity while having sex, and when you weren't, you had it. One time I used that belief in a conversation with my mom, and she straightened me out! Embarrassing!

When I was little, I thought a virgin was a little magician...like Micky Mouse was in Fantasia, until I was watching a TV show and it mention it, and I asked my mother what it was and she told me truthfully.

when i was in grade school a friend asked if i was a 'virgin'. i had never heard of the term before but i didnt want to ask. it sounded like horoscope sign to me (virgo) so i said no. i immediately knew i gave the wrong answer when i had to beg the girl not to tell everyone.

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.

I used to think that being a virgin meant being picky (i got that from Clueless)....with everything (shoes, clothes, etc....) didn't really think about it that much....

me and my friend were watching a movie with my mom and dad and the word virginity popped up.Instantly I asked what it meant and my dad said its when you havnt skiied.Im guessing he forgot about telling me this because one day we went skiing and the first thing i said was how happy I was to not be a virgin anymore!!!

when i was about seven i watched a film about some bad witches and they needed to find a virgin to do some bad spell. this virgin was a good witch so i guessed that virgin was just the name for someone that did good magic.

When i was aroun 8 or so i heard the term "Virgin" applied to 16-17 year old female friend of the family. Naturally i asked my dad what it meant. He told me a virgin was "tease" and proceeded to elaborate further. By the end of his rant i had a very low opinion of "Virgin's." I now know that he held this particular girl in quite a bit of contempt at the time. Im sure he thought i forgot all about it but when a new neighbor moved in next door (about 30 years old with 2 children) i was very concerned and thougfht it neccesary to ask her if she was a virgin... I remember to this day her surpsrise when i asked that question (we had just met). After her initial shock she proceeded to ask me what i thought a virgin was. I remmebr explaining it to her... Funny her and my dad never quite got a long the whole time we lived there... :)

A couple years ago (when i was about 12)i was told that if you have given "oral sex" you are no longer a virgin. So last year some chick asks me if im a virgin, i answer with a simple sweet NO. this was in like 7th grade, so everyone flipped out! turns out i really was a virgin, but now i know better... now i can answer NO.

I'm a high school student and we recently performed "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" for our spring musical. Any of you who know the show, you know that it has alot of "adult humor" and some double meanings...all that fun stuff. Well, My mother came to see it (I was the assistant stage manager, so she was mad that I wasn't in it this year...o well) and she brought along my 9 year old brother. After the performance, he asked my mom what a virgin was. She said it was a nickname for Virginia.

I'm now a little nervous about his reaction when he learns the truth...

one time, I believed being a virgin meant that you HAD had sex already and not being a virgin meant you HADN'T had sex yet. So I was known as the purest girl in seventh grade. (I'm in ninth now.) So on a walk from the bus stop, my friends were teasing me in a joking way. "You're a virgin. You're a virgin!"
I yell out loud. "I AM NOT A VIRGIN!" I got stares from a lot of people. My friends and I were laughing in tears.

I used to believe that snogging was having sex, and that fingering was wen you put your finger in someones ear and tickle them, Do you now how many years ive had of bullying after sayin that i wasnt a virgin, i thought it ment a girl!!!

once my sister and i kept calling our little sister a virgin and she kept screaming "no im not!" so loud that my parents came in and she told them what we were saying. we thought it was pretty funny...but apparently my mom didnt...

I didn't learn what sex was until I was home alone and watched this program on TV about sex...

My Family Life teacher was a big, fat, idiot and just assumed everybody already knew what you did during sexual intercourse because of the media.

So, up until I was 15, I believe sex was kissing, and when you lost your virginity, it was just when you kissed a boy.

Kiss me!

when i was little I used to think that when you drank a virgin margarita it meant that you had to stay virgin the rest of the day.

drink=no sex!

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.

Lol

The first context in which I head "Virgin" was "Virgin Mary." So I thought it meant female Saint, or holy woman.

When i was around 7 years old my neighbor who was like 10 asked me if i was a virgin and i had no idea what a virgin was. I didn't want to look dumb so i didn't ask what it was i just replied yes, then no, then i don't know. I kept trying to figure out what a virgin was so for some reason i pictured a little white reese cup! I thought a virgin was a little white reese cup, and then they actually came out with them a few years ago and it was hillarious to my best friend who said you should have told them about that years ago and you could have made some money. lol
