I used to hear my older sister talking about sex stuff, and it didn't faze me until I was eavesdropping on her sleepover. I was eight, she was fourteen. They were talking about this girl who was supposedly not a virgin. My sister replied, "Ewww, did they even use a rubber?"
Well, I had heard of condoms, but not rubbers. I got this weird mental image of a couple wearing those yellow rubber gloves while having sex. I concluded that this was because men's sperm weren't sanitary and a girl needed to wear gloves.
