When I was a little boy, I thought that both women and men have penises like myself. To make a baby, the man must urinate inside a woman's anus. After a while the woman's stomach begins to swell when the baby is formed inside the woman's stomach. Then the baby comes out in a torrent of diarrhea after about a year. I reasoned that because some women couldn't take the pain when pushing out the baby, they died during childbirth. Therefore, I believed my theory was quite correct... till I read the book by Lynda Madaras "The What's Happening to my body - Book for boys." during the early years of my puberty.
