A childhood belief about sex

One time, I was at a friend's house when her parents weren't home. She had a TiVo and said she recorded Sex And The City on it and wanted to show me a funny part. In it, one of the main characters called someone up and asked if they wanted to "wrestle". We spent at least a half hour watching the clip of her and him "wrestling" trying to decided whether she was training for a match or if it was fun. We decided she didn't like it because she was screaming so much.


Also, after that she told me that that lady was going to get HIV. I didn't know what that was, and when I asked she told me it was disease you got from having sex too much that killed you. I was so scared, because I thought "having sex" was kissing someone, and I had kissed boys before! I thought I was going to die for a week.
