sex

I used to believe…

When I was young, I was always fascinated with babies. As I grew older (maybe 5 or 6), I realized that most babies were breast fed. I somehow came to the conclusion that dark skin mothers produce chocolate milk and light skin mothers produce vanilla milk... Than I was bold enough to ask, and felt dumb... Lol

When I was younger, about 8-9 years old, I believed that a guy and a girl sleeping in the same bed was enough to get the girl pregnant. Not requiring any other physical contact.. :)

I used to believe…

Most kids are told that the baby comes from mommy's tummy. Well, I took that literally and thought that babies were barfed up when they were born. It made perfect sense to me since I threw up when my tummy was upset - I figured if a baby was in your tummy your tummy would get upset and you'd barf the baby up . I couldn't wrap my head around how a baby could fit out of a persons mouth and thought maybe their jaws came unhinged, like a snake, and that they couldn't breath while they were doing it. I was born with a big ol' bump on my head that they removed a few months after I was born. I believed thoroughly that the bump was due to hitting my mom's teeth on the way out. Turns out if was just forceps.

When I first found out that babies lived in their mother's stomachs, I believed that when a mother gave birth, her stomach actually popped open, allowing the baby to simply be lifted out.

When I was little(6 at the time) i asked my older sister Grace (11 at the time)where babies came from. Grace told me you stick a seed in your belly button and after 9 months you take it out and you have a baby. I believed her until i was about 9.

My grandma told me right after I finished 6th grade (in 1969) that I was not to get a bikini or two-piece for a swim suit, because it would attract boys and I would wind up pregnant.

I used to believe…

When I was little, my parents referred to round, spherical poops as "balls" - so of course, whenever boys referred to their "balls", I thought they were talking about their bowel movements. At school, a girl dared a boy to shout "MY BALLS ARE BIG!!!" I remember thinking, "hmm, that's not such an embarassing dare."

I used to believe…

When I first had my period at 10, I didn't realize the cervix would block the tampon from going up all the way. I walked slowly like a robot, afraid any sudden movement would cause the tampon to shoot up in me irretrievably. I think I eventually realized the likelihood of women mass using a product also meant it probably wasn't so dangerous as to get lost in the body.

I used to believe…

When I was around 11, I stumbled upon an article explaining that "Most young people belive oral sex isn't actually sex." and that this was an incorrect belief. I had never heard of oral sex before and the only thing I could come up with was that oral sex meant making out. I also was shocked that older people like my mom thought that kissing a boy was just as bad as "doing it." That comparision seemed way too drastic to me. But still, I was afraid of my mom getting angry at me if I kissed a boy for a long time after that.

I used to believe that everyone had a vagina until i was 11yrs old because me and my boyfriend Callum was playing a shooting game and he said "ill get my penis out and wee on you soon!" i laughed like i knew what a 'penis' was.

I used to believe that women's eggs "broke" when a man layed on top of her and that's what sex was all about. Squishing the egg open and getting the baby juice in haha

I used to believe…

When I was little I thought that when a woman got married, her body would automatically know when and that's what made her pregnant. The body would also figure out how many babies the woman wanted to have. I also thought that, when an unmarried woman got pregnant, it was because she had been drinking.

For a while I thought babies are coming out through the navel.

I was raised in a Catholic home in which my parents both lost their virginities to each other after marriage and consequently thought that losing your virginity was synonymous with getting married.

I used to believe…

When I was very young, I only wanted to take showers because I thought I could get pregnant by using the same bathtub (the tub, not water) as them.

I used to believe…

When I was younger, I thought the woman got pregnant when the man kissed her with his tongue.
