I had NO idea that sex and getting pregnancy were linked until I was 12. I thought that a woman would just spontaneously become pregnant one day, not to mention that I had been told the baby came out of her belly button. I also was completely unaware of penetration in sex, that sex was solely recreational and involved two people getting naked and kissing.
Boy, was that ever a shocking day of health class.
