I was seven when my parents told me I was going to be a big sister. My mom gave me a brief birds and the bees talk. I imagined sex being so clinical. I pictured a man and woman (I don't know how this image came about) sat facing each other, like on the side of the bathtub, and the man just inserted his penis into the woman and took it out, and she would automatically get pregnant.
