My mom and I were watching a movie that mentioned sex when I was about 7, so when I asked about it, she breifly explained things to me, not wanting to decieve me or lie. However, I didn't know what anything looked like.
Later, I was at my cousin's house, and my cousin and my brother were rough-housing. My cousin yelled, ouch, you kicked me in the balls!" I knew the place he was hurt was supposed to be where a "penis" was, but I didn't know why it was called "balls." I figured a penis must be shaped like a snowman, made of balls of skin. I thought this basically until sex ed in school.... ]_[
