When I was little, I discovered condoms (still in their wrappers) in my parents' bathroom and naturally had to ask my mother. She just told me it was to prevent making a baby. I assumed from the way the looked, they went on the woman's breasts during sex and somehow prevented a baby. I didn't know the basics of sex at that time...
