When I was about 5, my parents told me the whole reproduction story, but they didn't explain if very thoroughly. They told me a woman gets pregnant "When a man and a woman are naked and are very close to each other." For years I imagined my parents, naked, sitting squished next to each other in the armchair in our living room.
