I read about a girl getting her period in a book. When I asked my sister what it was, she said it's when you pee blood. Close, I guess. Somehow I got the impression that you had your period for seven days, then had one day of relief, followed by another seven days.... Yeah, my mom had a good laugh while explaining THAT.

When I was very little, I was allergic to pollen, and since it coated our car every year, my mom explained what it was and how flowers grow. Not long after I learned about how flowers were made, I asked how babies were made, and she explained it in what she must have thought a quite understandable fashion, especially for a 4-year-old. Only problem was, I connected the two, and for years and years I had visions of sperm floating through the like pollen every time a man peed, randomly impregnating any woman that happened to be around.

When i was younger (7 or 8) i went to the cinema with my mum. we were in the bathroom and as the door had no lock on it she asked me to hold it shut for her. i accidentally let go of the door as my mum was inserting a tampon. i thought this was a condom and the next day told everyone that i had seen my mum having sex with herself in the toilet
i was told by my best freind when i was about 6 what a condom was, (another word for a hat) just before christmas holidays, coinsidenty my grandmar gave me a hat amongst other things for christmas and after phoning her up my mum put me on to say thankyou, my grandmar was in complete shock when i turned around and said (thinking i was being clever) thankyou for the condom grandmar it fits really well!!! my mum was in hysterics and asked me where i heard that word from never have lived it down.

My weird childhood ideas about sex came from a book about baby-making that was supposed to clear things up. From looking at the pictures I figured out that the man must have to squish his penis into the woman's vagina using his fingers (I knew what a penis looked like, but I hadn't heard of an erection). After that they would just lay still in the bed, smiling with their eyes half closed, staring at their genitals until they fell asleep or got bored, I guess. It all seemed kind of creepy.

When I was about 7, before I knew what a period was, I was at my friend's house and she tried to explain what it was. Well, turns out she wasn't so good at it. She told me that if my mom had pads or tampons under the sink, she was never gonna have a baby again. My mom was pregnant at the time and I was really scared that the baby would die. When I heard the news that my mom was in labor, I was a wreck. The worst hours of my life ended when we got the phone call that I had a new little brother. I still have my friend to thank for that little scare!

i used to believe that when i put my barbie and ken in a cupboard together naked they would magically come to life and have sex. I would always secretly peek to see if they were and if they weren't i just thought that they weren't in the mood.

when i was 5 i use to believe that tampons were little rocket ships that moms kept in their purses to entertain their kids. so whenever i saw one in my moms purse i would open it up and push it throught till it dropped on the floor. i use to do this in the middle of stores, with company over, anytime i found one. And if my mom didnt see me do it, id just drop it on the floor and leave it there

When I was in year 4 at school we where learning about Egypt and I�ll never forget when another boy told the teacher that in Egypt a baby was born every 26 seconds. I was totally amazed by this and I actually believed that all the women gave birth every 26 seconds. I was more worried about the thought of having to pick so many different names for that many children.

When young I learned how a man and woman made a baby.I thought they did it only when they wanted a baby and did it and that was that. When I first learned about condoms I was dumbfounded to learn men and women used condoms so as to be able to make love just for the enjoyment and not make a baby. I thought this was a very naughty thing to do and not done by nice people. However when I grew up and fell in love I used them just like evertbody else and don't feel they are great invention and not the least bit naughty using them.
