when i was little i thought that babies came from your belly button until one day when a girl in my class asked me if i knew where babies came from..when i said yea shes like "the...you know..." then i figured it out for sure and asked my mom what happens if you have to pee. stunned that i knew thats how you give birth she just said on the table...i was so confused
i used to think that you could get pregnant from kissing and i was terrified of getting kissing. i always thought "when im older what do i do if i accidentally get pregnant? mommy will kill me!" then when i first heard the word sex i thought it meant just seing each other naked

up until a few months ago my bf (age 14) thought oral sex was talking about it over the phone and up until last summer i thought it was making out laying down
I never knew that there was a hole inside the vagina and thought the man put his penis on the clit and rubbed it about a bit and that was sex, i thought this until i was about 14. The shame!

i thought a blow job was when u blew in your vagina and then had an orgasm.
I was explained the initial process of intercourse...simple enough: the man's penis enters the woman's vagina, fluid with sperm comes out, sperm finds egg and gets fertilized. However, the only thing was I wasn't explained was the process of how the ejaculate fluid comes out of the penis. I spent some time thinking that once a man's penis was inside the woman they just sit there and wait until it comes out...and I was confused as to how they know when the man has ejaculated lol.

I also thought I could get pregnant just by sitting in the same chair where a guy just sat because I thought he left little sperm on the chair and they would crawl up in me.

When i was little I used to believe that if your mummy and daddy got naked in the bathtub together, they wouldn't have human babies, but instead they'd have baby ducks.

I used to believe that if I slept on my tummy my boobs would never grow so I never slept on my tummy.
i used to believe that a woman becomes pregnant when a man sees/touches her naked body. in indian movies the sex act is never shown, the woman's clothes are tossed one after another, and a few scenes later she announces that she is pregnant!!
i used to think that i was really a boy because i had my clitoris which i thought was a penis and also when i got horny then this liquid came out which i thought was sperm...also i didnt get boobs till really late so i thought i was really a boy, which scared me.

When I first heard the word virgin, when I was around 11 I was around a lot of people who were older and that liked to talk dirty all the time, and someone asked "Are you a virgin?", in a serious way and I thought he was asking are you from Virginia, and I was born in New York and moved to New Jersey when I was little, so I had no idea why they would think that, so I responded "Um... No... why would you even think that?", acting like I was all smart and they were dumb. Image an 11 year old saying that. How embarassing. That was so long ago... but I still can remember it, it's one of those memories that you can always think about and laugh.
I used to believe that when babies where born they all had penises and if the parents wanted it to be a girl the would push the penis in and when the baby got older breasts grew because the penis took up to much room.
I used to be Firmly Convinced that breasts were actually called 'Roses'. My mum spent ages trying to tell me it wasn't, but I still held onto my belief.
To tell the truth, it always used to annoy me that the word 'roses' had two different meanings.
I used to believe that all babies (boys and girls) got circumsized. once i heard a classmate talking about babies being circumcised and he didn't specify whether it was boys or girls so i went home and asked my mom one day if i was circumcised. "She replied, only boys get circumsized junie." "hmm, didn't know that" I replied. well, now i know.

WHEN I WAS LITTLE,THE CORNER STORE HAD A DISPLAY OF KOTEX IN THE WINDOW. WHEN I ASK MY MOM WHAT THEY WERE SHE SAID A WOMAN PUT THEM UNDER HER ARM PITS TO KEEP FROM SWEATING ON HER CLOTHES. WISH IT COULD HAVE BEEN THAT SIMPLE.
I once saw a film where a had came out of a guys shoulder.
I was sure that this is how babies where born, and this belief was reinforced when I was at my friends house, whose mum was a nurse, and she had a strange yellow pointy stick think in a drawer. I still have no idea what the hell it was, but I thought at the time that the yellow pointy stick was used to cut a circle out of whoever was having the babies upper back/shoulder area, and then the baby would be pulled out. I believed this for years, until it slowly dawned on me that there was rather more to it than that...

After being taken into the male changing rooms at the swimming pool when i was about 4, I became very curious about men. I believed that i din't have a penis because i was born a girl and would grow one when i was older, but when i became 30 it would be chopped off. I was very envious of boys because they got to keep it all they're lives.
I used to think that men put balloons on their penis n called them "comdoms" lol duhh
I started my period on christmas day. Now, much to my embarrasmet, my seven year old brother noticed first the red splash on my Pajama pants. he looked at me and my mother, who was coming over to tell me, and remarked:
"Mommy, I think ______ spilled paint on herself!"
He still dosen't know what was really going on, and its been two years.
hall of fame
I used to believe that girls had their period all the time non-stop and that they bled out of their hands.
