Even though my mom told me how babies were made when I was little, she didn't give me enough info. I thought that people never actually have sex to have a baby. They just sleep and the sperm travel from the guy's body, traverse the bedsheets, and gets inside the woman's body by some kind of magical process.
Needless to say, I was very traumatized when I found out that you needed to do to get pregnant...
