sex

I used to believe that women caught The Pregnancy like it was the cold. Even to this day, when a dear friend of mine's mother got pregnant, I remember telling her that I hoped she felt better soon.

I used to believe…

From hearing vague descriptions of intercourse and the fact that there was an "egg" involved in reproduction, I somehow got the idea in my head that the "egg" emerged from the man's penis during intercourse. I would compare the size of eggs from the fridge with the circumference of my own youthful member and feel a genuine sense of dread about what I assumed would be an intensely painful process.

I used to believe…

Like a lot of other kids I believed that babies were either brought by a stork or purchased from a special baby market.
I talked to a fully pregnant lady when I was about 6 and was a little shocked that a full-size baby would live in someone's belly like that.

I used to believe…

When I was a kid, I thought the number of children in a family represented the number of times the parents had sex.

My best friend was from a family with eight kids, so I thought his parents were sex maniacs.

I used to believe…

Growing up I never realized that anything but pee could come out of one's penis. Thus I thought that a man would pee in a woman's vagina to make a baby.

I took this one step further and thought that whenever two people peed in the same toilet a baby would form. I reasoned that there were millions of tiny dead babies in our nation's sewers.

I used to believe…

This ones bad. I used to think when you had sex, you did it anally. And after she got pregnant, then it came out of her vagina. Made sense at the time. So now I have an ass fetish because of that. Big Ol Asses!

I used to think that each testicle had its own sack. For real. I even asked the first guy I had sex with if his was normal. Hes my husband now, and he loves to tell that story.

I used to believe…

When I was very little and first asked about babies, my mom just said "Mommies and Daddies do a special sort of hug, like a very tight hug."

The next morning they hugged in the kitchen and I smiled, thinking, "I hope it's a girl!"

I used to think the head of my penis was my circumcision scar. I thought it looked that way because they took something like a meat cleaver and chopped off the tip, and all the flesh inside popped out like that and formed a mushroom like scar. I was glad since it was so sensitive, but got mad when I found out that uncut guys have one, too. It just only comes out when it's time to play.

I used to believe…

Whenever there was any sort of explanation of sex presented to me, they would talk about the sperm and the egg, and then they showed a man and a woman kissing to symbolize sex. So I used to believe that the sperm was transmitted when the man and woman kissed. As you might imagine, this made kissing a rather daunting prospect.

I used to believe…

When I was a youngster, I learned about circumcision in such a way that I believed it was reserved for Jewish people. Later, at a friends house, I saw an image in a foreign porno mag of a man who was missing the head of his penis (I don't know why, I couldn't read the text).

This lead me to believe that Jewish men were all missing the head of their penes, and that's what circumcision was.

Here's the worst part:

This stayed with me until I was 23! It was very embarassing when I mentioned to a girlfriend that I couldn't imagine having a circumsized penis, and she had to tell me that I was very silly because I was circumsized. I was lucky that she thought it was so rediculous, that I must have been joking.

I had to look it up later to find out why it was funny.

I used to believe…

When I was very young, I was watching a movie with my parents, and in the movie, a woman talked about having been raped. I asked my mother what rape was, and without hesitation, she told me that it was when one person forced another person to take their clothes off. I understand why she said it... I didn't even know what sex was yet, but the misconception was never corrected.

For years, everytime I would hear about rape on the news or in movies or TV shows, I would wonder what the big deal was, it seemed like they were being all whiny and hurt over nothing.

It wasen't until I was a teenager, and I heard about a local girl having been raped, that I actually voiced my opinion about how people seemed to overreact to rape in the presence of others. I got yelled at by several friends, and the misunderstanding was finally resolved.

I used to believe…

When I was little, my mom made me watch lots of sex education shows. On one, I must have listened selectively as erections were described. I understood they made the penis larger just fine, but I also got the impression that their effect was cumulative. I made it my mission that day to get as many erections as I could - possibly as many as eleven!

I used to believe…

When i was young, i always watched my mom playing sims, and i always thought sex was just getting in bed and rolling around-fully clothed. I remember i "pleasured" myself thinking about doing that too. Also i had no idea what a testicle was until i was about 12 and that one picture of jesus or whatnot, i always thought he split his penis in half

I used to believe…

When I first got my period, I didn't know how to use a tampon. I thought that you just had to squeeze it and it would just shoot up inside you. I wasted ALOT of my friends tampons trying to work that out.

I used to believe…

This happened when I was about 4 years old... My brother, who was about 1 yr. at the time was getting a bath from my mom. I accidently walked in on them because it was almost time for my bath. I then saw my brothers parts, and I saw they were different than mine. I thought there was something wrong with me because I didn't have a penis. And I actually thought if I started doing boy things, then I would "grow" one. Then my mom explained that I'm a girl and my brother's a boy, and that boys and girls have different parts. So, I learned about the difference between a male and a female at a really young age.
