sex

I used to believe…

my brother when he was 8 his mom my step mother was watching a baby story and my brother asked my stepmom " Wwwwwwwhy is that woman pooping out a baby mommy?" she told him the story

I used to believe that when a woman gave birth, the doctor had to cut the belly open and get the baby out, and then sew it back up. Then they had to cut it open again to make sure the mother had enough milk.

i used to believe when i first got my period that in ored for the blood to come out i had to pee on the pad so i did that every time i had to go to the bathroom

i used to think that condoms where things people made i thought they where made of plastic wrap and tin foil

In 5th grade, a girl asked me if I was a virgin. I said no because I thought a virgin was some sort of prophet or a saint.(I was watching Hocus Pocus and a virgin had to light the candle. I assumed that a virgin was somebody who was more special than anyone else.) When the girl started laughing I said "Just Kidding." It was 2 years until I found out what a virgin was.

When I was six, my best friend told me how men and women have sex, and that it makes a baby. I thought that the man and the woman had to stay attached like that for the whole time until the baby came.

When I was about 2, my mom was pregnant with my sister, so I began wondering about reproduction. My conclusion was, since when a woman and a man get married they have one child, in order to have another one they had to marry again.

I used to think that when I got an erection my penis had filled up with urine and I had to go to the washroom

When my mom was a child durring the early years of puberty she and some of her friends thought that they could could get bigger boobs by pumping their arms in the air like a cheerleader would with pompoms. They even came up with a cheer to say while doing it. "We Must, We Must, We Must Have Bust!!!"

When I was a pre-teen I believed that if a man thought he would be having sex, he would put the condom on hours before.

Like before he left for his date, he would slip it on. Then later, it would already be there.

When I was younger - before I started my period, we had sex ed and I had talked to my mum all about womnaly issues. So she told me that I was due to start my period soon, so me being rather melo-dramatic, announce to my older brother everytime I got stressed with him "Look, I'm allowed to be stressed! I'm going to start my period soon!!". He'd always give me a funny look and back off straight after....But the ironic thing was I didn't start my period until like another year later.

When I was in junior high school, sex education was taught separately to the girls and boys. The teacher pulled down a chart of female reproduction organs and showed us how the egg traveled from the ovaries, through the fallopian tubes, and into the uterus where it was fertilized by sperm. She rolled up that chart before pulling down another of the male reproduction organs. She then traced the journey of the sperm from the testicles through the penis. And, then, up went that chart, out of sight. What she never explained was how the sperm and the egg actually got together. It seemed like the "fast girls" who always got asked to slow-dance always got pregnant. As a result, I did not dance slow with a boy for years, thinking that slow-dancing was the key to pregnancy! I was a virgin until my second year of college!!

I used to believe that my parents had tickle fights in their bedroom. I would hear giggles and of course tickling was the most likely reason for excessive giggling. I was nearly an adult before it occurred to me that they may have been having other sorts of fun.

When I was younger, I believed that a woman (by some means) got pregnant by kissing her true love.

My belief was complicated when I saw my cousins kissing at family gatherings, and I wondered how come they didn't have any kids with all the kissing they did.

Up to when I was 8 or 9, I believed that sex was when a man and a woman slow-danced naked. I wasn't associating it with pregnancy (I had never really thought about "where babies come from"), I just assumed that this was how couples would physically express their love for each other, and that this was what was called "sex." I don't know where I got this, but it was probably something my parents probably told me.

I remember, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the term "sex" was mentioned on TV, and my brother, then 7 or so, asked what it is. My mom asked me to explain it to him... after I gave him my definition (without my parents correcting it, of course), he probably still believed it for quite a while
