When I was about nine, my 5th grade class had a very vague presentation on reproduction. We knew the basics of sex, but we were not told about ejaculation or sperm. Not wanting to ask, my friend and I debated for a while and came to the conclusion that a man pees into a woman to get her pregnant. For quite a while after this, we were scared to use toilets after boys, and decided that we would never have sex because it was so disgusting. A few years later, her older sister cleared things up for us.
