A childhood belief about reproduction

Bashful Southern Baptists, my parents never gave me 'The Talk.' All they ever taught me about sex was that it was something naughty to feature or to watch on TV and that no one ought to do it (whatever frightful and secret thing "it" was) until after marriage. Until I was enlightened by the Texas public school system, I thought that sex was merely rolling around on the floor, fully clothed, with a member of the opposite sex--and of course, I had no idea how babies figured into it.
