My parents had the sex talk with me relatively young, but apparently they didnt go into enough detail. I thought you could get pregnant just by touching a penis to the outer vaginal area. So when I was around 3 me and my neighbor were playing "Ill show you mine if you show me yours" and we touched our areas thinking it was sex.
I also wasnt aware that the human gestational period is a mere 9 months so for at least two years after this incident I had an immense fear that I was pregnant and would punch my stomach to "kill the baby".
