I already knew about sex, as I was in 6th grade, and a smart kid, but my mom told my dad to finally give me "the birds and the bees" talk. So he came up to me and said "There's birds, there's bees, and there's women... choose the latter."

when i was 7 i was told that if a car was rained on, it wasn't a virgin. well i thought the same went fo people. later in 6th grade some friends were talking about virginity. i proudly said that i wasn't a virgin. many questions and some explaining came next.

when i was 5 or so a found a tube of ky jelly in my parents bedroom i asked my mom what it was for she said it was for my dad's back(he had back problems) this made sense 'cause i would some times hear moanings from their room in the middle of the night.

I used to think that babies grew from a seed that every woman had inside them, and that the seed would start growing when she fell in love.

I used to believe…

Not sure if this is all that appropriate, but I used to think babies were born out of a women's... butt... and not their... you know...

I also used to think that you made babies by kissing.

I used to think that you only didn't have your virginity while having sex, and when you weren't, you had it. One time I used that belief in a conversation with my mom, and she straightened me out! Embarrassing!

when i was little my older brother said if i didn't have sex before i was 20 my penis would shrivil up and turn inside out and i'd have a vagina

I used to believe…

When i was little i thought you had sex in the woman's mouth and the woman would swallow the sperm and a baby would grow in her tummy and after awhile the baby would come out the other end like the process of eating food

i found out a few weeks/months ago that no, oral sex is NOT when you talk dirty to eachother. i could never figure out what was so arousing about that anyway...

I was smart enough to know that you couldn't get pregnant by kissing a person of the opposite sex. However, i believed that by sleeping on the same bed could. My explanation was that sperm crawled on the bed to the other person (when i first knew about sperm) when you 'needed' it to.

When I heard my brother use the word "dildo", he told me it referred to the dough for our mother's dill bread recipie. It made sense to me that "dill bread" came from "dill dough". I can't believe that I bought his story. He still laughs about it decades later.

I used to think that penetration in sex was optional. Like a move that you COULD do, but didn't have to.

I used to believe…

When I was 12 years old, everybody was talking about sex. I was picking up terms, but I got them confused. I had heard that 'cum' meant a white liquid that would come out of a boy's penis, but I confused erection and ejaculation. I had heard that some boys had erections in class and had read some magazines. Somehow, I thought that boys that had erections in class would have white liquid come out from there and it was like a boys' version of having a period.

I used to believe…

Pregnant Women... How did the babies get inside their bellies? I never needed explanations from my parents 'cause I used to think that the babies were the result of too much food eaten by women at once. I mean... if a woman eats too much at once, her stomach wouldn't digest all that stuff and then... Baby! Just like The Spontaneous Generation Theory says.

When I was young and I first heard the word condom, I thought it was a cross between a tampon and a pad.

When I was younger I used to believe that "practicing safe sex" meant before you had sex to first practice having sex, but do it with your clothes on first and make sure you do it "safely" so it went right, so when you did it there weren't any "problems".

I used to believe…

when i was 6 my 18 year old brother said that a blow job was when a guy used a blow dryer on their penis and they had a "special" feeling. So when i was 12 i started masterbating and i thought if i guy could have this "special" feeling so could girls, nothing happend.

I used to believe…

When I was little all of my older sisters and their friends were getting their periods and talking about them. I didn't know what a period was, so I associated a 'menstrual cycle-period' with the 'punctuation mark-period'. I one day chased my older sister trying to see the "period dot" on her "peepee", that they called a "period". I thought it was a little tiny dot somewhere down there that bled. Of course, unfortunately, I know NOW what a period really is.
