sex

I used to believe…

When I was about six I overheard my dad telling my brother about sex. I just remember standing there with my hand on my stomach, thinking, "I have *eggs* in there? Can I break them if I jump? Do I have to lay them? How do they come out?"

I started my monthly cycle fairly young, 11yrs. old, in order to teach me about the birds and the bees my mother, two grandmothers and my aunt sat me down and let me know what was going on and that I was becoming a young woman. They also said that with this whole "monthly thing" my body was getting me ready to be able to make babies when I get married. My granny, God rest her soul, told me that "Young men shouldn't be trying to rub on you and things like that or you will make a baby doing that." Now at 11 I had no clue, the next day I told my friends and they were just as clueless as me, after that conversation with my friends a boy walked by me and brushed up against me and I immediately became pregnant!!!!! I was scared to death. I thought I was pregnant and didn't even know what that was let alone what you do about it. To make a long story short...I finally had that baby 9 years later. Whew...don't let them boys rub on you!!! It takes too long to have kids that way!!!

When I was little, my mom was pregnant with my little brother. She was acting and looked different and i didn't know why. I asked my father and he said that she was really an alien.

I believed him.

My eight-year-old son and six-year-old daughter think that a woman gets pregnant by eating a very, very tiny baby. It then grows in her stomach.

They don't seem bothered by this thought! I'm not going to correct them, until they ask!

I used to believe…

When I was younger I believed that testicles were actually babies waiting to be put in a womb.

So if I saw a woman with 3 or more children, I figured she was cheating on her husband.

I used to believe…

My daughter who is 3 and a half has had 4 teachers at her preschool who have had babies in the last 6 months. So she has seen the teachers get bigger when they are going to have a baby. In her mind that means that the teachers eat more food to get a baby in their tummy. Then they go to the doctor's office to have the baby taken out when they are too fat!

Until i was about 11 or so, i used to believe that condoms were articles of clothing. I thought that when someone said to use protection, or wear a condom when u have sex to have safe sex, that meant that they needed to leave on there underwear (boys), and women needed to leave on their panties, cause well, ya know!!!

I used to believe…

Im 13, and until a week ago, i thought that pregnancy tests worked by the girl sticking it up her vagina. then i got the nerve to ask someone and i learned how they really work

I used to believe…

When I was 6 my friend (a girl) said that for a girl to become pregnant the guy would cut off the tip of his penis and put it in the girls vagina. sicne i was uncircumcised and i didnt know that some people didnt have the foreskin i assumned that by "tip" she was refering to my foreskin.

When I was nine, I found this book in my sisters bedroom called "Your Body." I saw a picture of a girl using a tampon (cartoon ofcoarse). I told my sister that she has to give her self shots in the vagina. She started crying.

I used to believe…

When I was a child, I thought masturbation was a credit card. So my mother and I were checking out at a grocery store, and the cashier asked her for her credit card. I responded with "Yeah mom! Get out your masturbation card!".

I meant MasterCard. Heh...

I used to believe…

this isnt mine but that of a kid in my old health class

the teacher was talking about how you can still get and STD from oral sex when a kid raised his hand and asked "how can you get and STD from that, isn't oral sex just talking?"

I used to believe…

When I was little i asked my mom "where do babies come from?", they can come out, but how do they get in.. she said "well.. daddy and I hug a lot and then a baby will grow out of an egg" I started to think but i thought it was a bit weird to hug and then make an egg.. out of wood I imagined.. and then put it into her belly through the bellybutton.. I believed it for quite a while

I used to believe…

when i was in health class, they always pushed condoms as one of the surest methods not to get STDs like the dreaded HIV. and i didn't understand how you could get pregnant with one on, so i thought that they would cut a hole in the tip so that the woman would get pregnant, but also not get HIV. but my mom was a nurse so i asked her and she just laughed and then explained it to me. ya...i was like 9...

I used to believe…

My grandmother (and mother) used to (and still does) tell me and my sisters that if you sleep in your bra, your boobs won't grow. So we were always sure to take off our bra's before bed. Ironically enough, she (my grandmother) dosen't wear underwear to bed, does that mean that her butt grows at night?

I used to believe…

When i was itty bitty i used to believe that to get a girl pregnat the boy had to pee inside you... .you see i didnt know there was anything else that could come outta there.... so thats the only explanation i had!

I used to believe…

When I was a little (back in the day) I thought that when you had sex you just were on top of each other and rolled around, kind of like you are rolling down a hill but with someone on top of you. I never knew anything went anywhere until I found out...I was so relieved because I was really confused and never asked any questions. I mean come on who wants to ask their parents about that stuff anyway?
