In fifth grade we had just gotten back from a very vague sex ed class and a boy in my class said something about a condom. The sex ed class hadn't mentioned condoms, so another student asked our teacher what a condom was. She told us it was a device used for sex. I then thought two people couldn't have sex without a condom. I thought it was some sort of metal device that the man and the woman attached themselves to.
