When I was in 5th or 6th grade we had a sex education class. They showed us mostly animal sex and then just talked about human sex. So I believed that the male urinated inside the female to "fertilize the egg". Needless to say, if you had children, you were just kinda gross. But I understood how much people loved thier children and how they would do anything for them. But what I really did not understand is how people would get pregnant on "accident". How do you "accidently pee in someone"?
