I used to believe that a period was when you got cut on your leg,cuz I saw my sisters pants in the laundry basket with blood around the thighs,and me being nosy me,heard them sitting down to the "period talk".So one day while riding my two wheeler in a very strange way,(I was 4 and just learned to ride a two-wheeler)My friend,who happened to be a boy,fell off his bike and scraped his knee badly.Then I laughed to myself.I wanted to be grown-up!So I rid my bike into a brick wall.Ouch.So my mum wouldn't let me ride for a week.Then I found a case of tampons and started putting them on my ankle,where the scrape was.My dad walked in,and started laughing at me.

I had no idea why until age 9,when my older friend told me.Then,a year later,"it" happened.

— Um...so...sex : periods

I used to believe…

My friend told me this a couple of years ago.

When she was in gradeschool, she first heard about gay people. She was puzzled by this, and wondered how exactly two men could have sex. In her mind, she decided that the two men would just slap their penis's together, making it look like some sort of bizarr thumb wrestle.

I used to believe that having sex was just putting your penis into the vagina and leaving it there. Also I learned how to masturbate when I was 4. I don't remember how.

When I first learned about sperm being single cells I still did not understand what sex was, I suppose I wasn't paying attention in class. At any rate I understood that getting pregnant had to do with sperm getting to the egg. I thought sex was just a man and woman being in bed naked together but I thought that would be so embarrassing so I tried to come up with ways to circumvent the embarrassment. I decided a man could take a bath or shower and then the woman would come and use the bath/shower immediately afterwards if they wanted to have a baby.

I remember when I was young I saw my mom eating a birth control pill, but I didn't know what is it for at that time. So I asked her and she said if she didn't take it, then I would suddenly have a little brother or sister. I thought when woman reach the age where they can have babies, the babies will automatically grow inside their stomachs and can only be stopped if you eat the pills. And if you forgot, then the baby will develop and you'll be pregnant.
Well, I was half right, but I never thought man had anything to do with that...

When I was little, I found a box of condoms in my parent's bedroom drawers. For some reason I thought it was a pack of cigarattes, and I thought my parents smoked, to my great horror! So the next day I whispered to my sister secretly, sis ...I think mommy or daddy smokes ... Mom overheard us and asked me why would I think that and i said I found the cigarattes in their bedroom. Confused, she asked me to show it to her ..which I did. She snatched them from my hands and just told me quickly they aren't cigarattes ...but never explained what they are. I believed they smoke until a few years ago, talk about embarassment!

When I was five, I saw a used condom in the park. Since there were quite a lot of trees in that particular spot in the park, I also thought that there must have been snakes living there. Putting two and two together, I concluded that condoms were worn by snakes to keep their tails warm, and felt sorry for the poor unfortunate snake that had lost his tail-warmer...

When I was in the sixth grade my best friend's sister, who was a year younger than us, thought she would get pregnant if she sat on a toilet seat after a man had used the bathroom.

When My younger brother was little he would play with his self ( if ya know what I meen) and we would tell him that if he did it again it would bite his fingers off. so a couple hours later my mom saw him doing the potty dance and she told him to go pee. he told her he was scared because if he would pull it out to pee it would bite him.
