When I was young, I thought that only women's bosoms could have erection of the nipples (I knew it happened, I once walked in on my mom dressing). One day I got out of the tub and while my mom was drying me I noticed my nipples. I was horrified and I thought I was a Hermaphrodite. But I used the term "Two-Gendered! AAAAAH!" then my mom explained.
