When I was about 7 or 8 years old, my next-door neighbor (about 13 at the time) tried to explain sex to me. Unfortunately, he gave me a very poorly worded description of a hymen by saying, "when a girl first has sex, a bone in her vagina breaks, and it hurts really bad." Of course, my inexperienced mind immediately assumed there was a cage of bones, like a ribcage, inside every woman's vagina. I had trouble understanding this anyway, so when I learned the truth several years later, it was a relief :) .
