I used to believe that you got periods through your belly button, I got images of women on the beach, with blood poring from their belly buttons!
I have no idea where I got this idea from!
I used to wonder how you used to get tampons in your belly button, I even tried this once when I was ten, only to realise this wasn't possible!

I KNEW THIS BECAUSE THEY HAD ME AND MY SISTER.

When I was little, I was told that too have a baby, you had to go to the Doctor. I knew what sex was, so I thought the Doctor had to have sex with you. Then bam, you would be pregnant and the baby would come right out.

I used to belive that babies "acquired" their head hair during birth and that's why mommies have "hair down there."

My dad wouldn't let me use tampons because he thought I wouldn't be a virgin anymore. Once we were going swimming and I was on my period, so she let me use a tampon, but made me swear not to tell Dad!! My dad also thought that having a pelvic exam took away your virginity. When I was 14 or 15 I had one, and he freaked out. Finally my Mom set him straight on how one lost their virginity!! My dad was in his 30's and didn't know!!

A teacher I know told me this one: she had a female student who never heard that women could produce milk and nurse babies. When the student put two-and-two together and finally understood, she blurted out, dumbfounded "LIKE COWS???"
The kicker (and I'm not lying here) -- she teaches pre-med students in COLLEGE!

When I was a kid I had a napkin collection - napkins I saved from parties, holidays, etc. One day my mom and I were standing in a line of women waiting to use the restroom, when I noticed a machine on the wall that said "feminine napkins". I asked my mom for a quarter to get one for my collection, because I thought they were some kind of special bathroom napkins. I couldn't understand why my mom looked mortified and said No, or why the other women in line turned around and looked at me with little smiles on their faces.

i used to believe that gay guys would have sex by "kissing" each others penises with their own penis.
I used to believe that masturbating would make the boy's penis bleed and you would die,and so I was scared of doing it.
I'm now 29,and when I masturbated first at the age of 17,I was embarrased to see that it doesn't make men's penis's bleed,and you dont die.
I was on the phone (I was about 5.He was just a boy from my class who I liked and presumed my boyfriend) to my boyfriend and I asked if he had a penis.When he said yes,I was shocked.My mum had told me that only my dad had a penis and that boys only grew them at the age of 20.She only said it to stop me from having sex 'till I was 20,at least,and seeing that the boy I liked was only 5 like me,I was generally shocked.
I used to believe that when a man and woman had sex one of the man's balls went into the woman and the baby grew from it. Therefore I thought you could only have 2 kids. I thought that people that had more than 2 kids had stolen/bought one from someone else.
i used to think that your peirod was wen anything started 2 bleed then wen i was 12 my head was bleeding i tld my mum i started my period! she explained SCUNDERED!!

This is how I pictured birth in my mind as a child: The expectant mother would go up on a stage in front of a large audience. A big red curtain would open so that the audience would see the expectant mother naked and squatting over a five gallon bucket. She would push the child out into the bucket and the audience would applaude.

When I was around 9 I was at my 15 year old baby sitter's house looking threw her jewelry box. There was a little round blue thing in it so I asked her what it was and she told me it was a condom. I was like, well what's a condom? And she wouldn't tell me! So I got really mad and I was like, well I'll just go look it up in the dictionary... I couldn't find it in there and I asked my dad. He got really angry and wouldn't tell me either.
I was so confused why no one would tell me... because I thought it had something to do with a CONDO. Like maybe that's what the keys were or something!

In the fourth grade I was learning about human growth and development and my teacher told us that girls grow boobs when they hit puberty. For the longest time I thought tthat they grew over night and that one day I would wake up with big boobs and everyone would know I hit puberty.
