Until I was about 11, I thought that you'd get pregnant every time you had sex, + so people would only do it 2 or 3 times in their lives, when they really wanted a child.
Then one night my Mother let me stay up late to watch a film, + there was a sex scene in it. I couldn't understand why anyone would just jump into doing a thing like that without even discussing whether they wanted a baby.

- I liked cats so much I wanted to be a Vet when I grew up, but, I thought they couldn't eat meat.
— Tanya - when i was about 7 i used to believe that if you wanted to get pregnant you
had to lick your elbow — Jane - I used to believe that I would never grow up, because I "wanted" to remain a child. Ha. That one fell throughAnon
