I used to believe…

when i was younger i believed that you could breed different colour babies simply by colouring them the required colour at birth, then keeping them in a room and every person that they saw would be painted this colour. as i got a little older i realised that this was silly. you would in fact need TWO babies (1 male 1 female) they would both have to be painted at birth and constantly painted (with special paint that doesn't kill you) and kept in a room that other painted people would come in to to feed them and such. when they got to the right age, they would have babies, and they would then be painted, this would go on a few times until one of the new babies would evolve into this colour!
prove me wrong!!

I used to believe…

When my sister was 4 or 5, she walked in on my parents when they were having sex (possibly oral sex). My mother told her that she was checking my dad for pin-worms. She believed that until she found out what sex was.

i used to believe that women got pregnant from anal sex. and then i didnt believe that a man's penis actually didnt go into the woman's vagina.

— darkknight7288sex : getting pregnant

I used to believe that if you lost your virginity to someone, you would stuff a flower up their nose, put a rose in their teeth and immediately call their astrologer to say that their starsign had been changed to Virgo.

I used to believe that if you had a period then you had an awful internal disease, and would have to be rushed to hospital where a nurse would put a thing called a pad up your butt and a pamton in your knickers. I know better now and don't get the names mixed up anymore.

I thought, up untill age seven, that babies wer born through the mother's belly button!

I didn't know what the word "condom" meant. Condom in Russian (my native language is Russian) sounds like "gandon". It was quite natual for me to call my cousin, Anton - "Anton-gandon". It was rhyme that mattered, not the meaning of the word! : )

I used to believe…

When I was little, around nine or ten, I was at my cousin's house and he was looking at porn. He didn't care that I was in the room. In the picture, the two girls in it were playing with a dildo, but it was flesh colored and slightly transparent, and I thought it was a body part or organ or something that they took out from inside of them and were playing with.

I was really freaked out around girls for a while.

I used to believe…

During the Monica Clinton affair, I thought oral sex was supposed to be kissing. That lead to a lot of confusion when I heard you could get STDs from it.

I've been interested in science from a very young age. When I was about 10, I had read about animals finding mates via pheromones. I assumed that pheromones played an important part in human mating, too. I thought that men and women enjoyed sex because of pheromones passing between their sex organs!

Then I learned that a condom prevents fluid exchange, but I didn't know what a condom looked like. So I assumed that it was an elaborate contraption to convey pheromones between partners during sex! I imagined a plastic device with tubes connecting the two people. I remember asking an older friend about condoms, admitting that "I don't know how all the tubes work." He got a funny expression and changed the subject. Later on, when I finally learned the truth, I was so embarassed of my wild imaginings!

I used to believe…

When I was 11 or 12 I used to travel with my father who was a salesman. When we stopped at gas stations, I would go to the bathroom. At truck stops there would usually be a condom machine in the men's bathroom. I was always curious about comdoms and wanted to put in a quarter to get one and see what it was like. However, I believed that a loud alarm would go off if anyone under-age bought one.

I used to believe…

when I was young, I didnt know that a man had to stick his penis in the vagina to have sex. I thought they just rubbed their penis on the vagina, and that was it, I didnt even know there was a hole down there!

I used to believe…

Okay with blowjobs When I was younger I knew it involved putting the guys cock in your mouth...but I thought it meant you actually BLEW while it was in your mouth! For the life of me I couldn't figure out how you'd breathe properly while doing that...or what would be so enjoyable about it!

I used to believe…

One morning when in my mom and dads bathroom I was dumbfound to find a lovely balloon in the toilet.When my mom came in she flushed it down the toilet without a word of explaination. I almost wept to see the nice balloon disappear down the toilet How could she do such a thing?

I used to believe…

When I was first told how a man rolled the condom on his penis so as to be able to screw (we used that term when young) his girlfriend and not to make a baby, I couldn't believe it was true. My penis was so tiny and the condoms I had seen were so huge it just couldn't be the truth but when I grew up I found they fit just fine.

I had a friend as a child that me sperm was green. I actually believed this into my late teens......

I used to believe…

When first told how babies were made I thought men and women "did it" when a baby was wanted. However I was totally dumbfounded when I found that they made condoms so men and women could have sex for pleasure and not make babies.I thought this was terribly "naughty" until later in life when my girlfriend and I had sex and used rubbers like other naughty persons.

I used to believe…

When I was little, I thought that you could buy babies at the store.

So when i asked my mom if I could have a little brother for christmas, she told me I'd have to wait awhile, and i asked her why she couldn't just go to the store to buy a baby.
