When I was very young, I knew about sex, to a degree, but I had no idea that it involved taking your clothes off. Once, while watching a movie, the stars were making out and took their shirts off. I asked my mom why they did that and she said that it was so they could get closer to each other. I realized later that she was right, in a round about way. I actually asked my sex ed teacher how people who wore pajamas had sex. He had to tell me that people took them off first. Duh! I still can't believe that it never occurred to me.
