When I was a very young male child, I'd never seen a nude female body, so, until the age of 9, I'd assumed that all human females had only one hole for all the 4 functions.

I was raised in a Christian family, and so I would always be reading stories in Genesis where someone 'lies with their wife' and their wife is 'with child'. So until I finally asked The Question I always thought that pregnancy was this magical thing that happened when women had been sharing a bed with their husband. I thought it travelled through the air.
I used to think that the testicles were the center of the nervous system in males, and thats why it hurt so bad to get hit there. I thought itthey were just big balls of nerves.
I used to believe that after a certain age women just got pregnant at random, like one day they would just wake up pregnant with no say in the matter whatsoever.

When I was very young, I used to believe that women had girl babies, and men had boy babies. I mentioned that to my mom one day, and she promptly gave me "the talk" and pulled out a book about sex and pregnancy.

When I was 11, I thought that if you had a girl give you a blow job and you "came" in her mouth she could get pregnant. I was told otherwise in my health class after I asked this questions and got a good laugh from my fellow classmates.

When I was a kid I always used to check my underwear for spiders because I thought if a spider went into my panties and up my vagina I would get pregnant and give birth to a giant spider!

While I always knew the physical differences between boys and girls, until age 9 or so I thought that penises/testicles were strictly to distinguish boys from girls when they were born.
I knew sex had something to do with the penis but I didn't know what and I also knew you can have sex for fun and not get kids. When I was 12 my friend told me that every time you do a french kiss, your penis will erect so I believed that to have sex without getting kids you have to french kiss a girl. Not long after that I had a date with my girlfriend and when we started getting really close I asked her if she wanted to have sex with me. For some unnatural coincidence she thought sex was the same thing I thought it was (wierd!!)! So we french kissed and I got a really big erection. It felt really good for both of us so we had "sex" a couple of times in the next few months. We were soooo embarrassed when we found out the truth but we laughed about it later.

My friend once told me that if you masturbate a lot you get "sexier" and get a bigger penis and balls. I believed him (we were about 10 or 11). Since then we both used to masturbate as often as we could thinking we'd get bigger and sexier genitals. How I wish it was true!

i use to believe that you could only get pregnant after you turned nine and if you had sex even once you would get pregnant
I used to see women on TV with breasts and think about how funny they looked. I hoped and wished and prayed that I would never grow those weird looking things, because it would be really embarrassing. I remember this was a recurring theme from ages 5-10.
Unfortunately, I got my wish. I take it back! :(

When I was in the fourth grade my best friend spent the night. My older brother, being the comiedian he is, asked my friend if she had Maxi Accident Insurance. I knew he was kidding and started to laugh. During my time of laughter she had walked up to my mom and asked her what Maxi Accident Insurance was. My mom looked at her confused. I grabbed her and told my mom never mind. I had to explain to her that it was just a joke!

When I was about 5, my parents told me the whole reproduction story, but they didn't explain if very thoroughly. They told me a woman gets pregnant "When a man and a woman are naked and are very close to each other." For years I imagined my parents, naked, sitting squished next to each other in the armchair in our living room.

When I was 10 years old, my friend's mother took her daughter and I to see "The Object of My Affection". There was one "sexual" scene in the movie, in which the woman and the guy are in bed together. The woman kissed the guy's stomach (when I asked my friend what she was doing, she replied, "That means she wants to have sex!") and proceeded to kiss the guy along his torso. In the next scene, the audience finds out the woman is pregnant. For three months after seeing the movie, I firmly believed that if you kiss a man all along his chest and torso, that was considered having "sex" and would impregnate a woman! (after all, they didn't show "sex" in the movie)

I used to believe…
Somehow I'd figured out the parts involved in making a baby but sex had never been explained to me. I worked out that while the man and the woman were asleep in bed, the sperm would crawl out of the man's penis and into the woman's vagina and then she would just wake up pregnant.
