I thought women could only get pregnant if they were married, I think I actually believed this until I was about 10.
At about this time when some girls at school started telling me about what happened in sex, because their mums had told them about it, and my mum hadn't, I thought they were joking and asked if the two people had to be tied together with ropes or something to keep them in position because I could just not imagine how people's parts of the body could go together! I did not believe it for a long time, probably until I was about 12. I still feel silly about that question I asked the other girls and I think they thought I was pretty stupid.

When I was in 5th or 6th grade we had a sex education class. They showed us mostly animal sex and then just talked about human sex. So I believed that the male urinated inside the female to "fertilize the egg". Needless to say, if you had children, you were just kinda gross. But I understood how much people loved thier children and how they would do anything for them. But what I really did not understand is how people would get pregnant on "accident". How do you "accidently pee in someone"?

I remember when i was little...when those commercials would come on for like headache medicine and stuff...when it says "do not use if you are or may become pregnant" and i used to tell my parents that they were being stupid for saying that becuase anyone could become pregnant so no one would want to take the medicine...i used to beleive that anyone (even guys) could just get pregant out of no where

once when i was about 9 or 10 i found my moms pads i went to her and asked why are there napkins in her drawer and she said they were for a special occassion. so on my dads birthday my mom made this huge dinner and she told me to set the table. and of course, i went and got the pads and used them for napkins! they all laughed and finally told me what they really were...lol

i have a friend that used to believe that the penis and semen were the same thing. So i guess the penis would just come off and the guy would only get to have sex once in his life! So weird.

When I was in grade six, I knew a little bit about puberty and sex and all that other stuff (my mom had told me "where babies came from" when I was only four years old, and she'd bought me a book about puberty when I was ten), but I still wasn't exactly sure what condoms were, or what they were for. So one day, at school, I asked my friend Lisa what a condom was, and she said "The man puts it over his dinky before sex so the woman doesn't get pregnant." Then she proceeded to scuplt one out of plasticene for my edification, by making a plasticene "log" and sticking her finger in it to make it hollow. So, for a while, I believed that condoms were either hard plastic devices that the man stuck his thing into, or sort of like a rubber "sock" for the man's thing. I was shocked when I first saw one in a package, lol.

When I was very young (about 5) I saw some commercial for AIDS or teen pregnancy and the commercial ended with something like "Make sure you know what your kids are thinking about sex.." And from then on i tried to never thing about sex or pregnant people because I thought if you thought about it you would become pregnant.

when i was 12, i started my periods, when i first woke up that very day, i thought i had wet the bet, because it was soaked, but when i saw that it was brown, i thought that i must have pooped the bed. I tried to hide it but the rest of my family found out. I robbed a few of my sisters pads and tampons, and piled up 9 pads and 4 tampons in my underwear, because i thought i just couldn't stop wetting myself, or pooping myself. i didnt quite no what periods were, coz i was off for the sex talk in school.Everyone in school noticed i had huge bulges in my underwear, and that the pads and tampons would keep slipping out and hanging below my skirt, coz i hadn't stuck them in. I got so embarrassed, because someone told the teacher that i had robbed something and snuck it in my underwear, so i had to lower my knickers, and the 4 tampons and 9 pads fell out onto the floor, i was embarrassed, because they put me in a diaper for the rest o the day, and told me about periods

Once when I was really little, like three and a half maybe, I found a box of sanitary napkins under the sink. While my mother was out in the living room entertaining a male family friend, I decided to show everyone a new use for those sanitary napkins. The next thing you know, theres little Sara, skating out into the living room with nothing on at all except for a sanitary napkin, sticky side up, on either foot, and one, sticky side up again, on my privates. i dont know...I was a strange little bird.

When I was about 7 years old, my friend and I played house. He was the baby and I was the mother, and I ordered him to to take a bath. He stripped naked, and I saw his penis (the first one I had seen). I had learned that boys had a penis and what it looked like, but I never was told about testicles. I saw his testicles and thought they were another penis. From then on I thought boys had two penises!

When I was little, I overheard my mother telling a female relative about her pregnancies. Apparantly, with my little sister her stomach was huge, and with my little brother, well, that pregnancy was just a big pain in the a**. From then on, I was convinced that girls came out of the belly button, and that boys came out of women's butts. I used to always wonder if any baby boys were born into the toilet by mistake, while the pregnant women were taking care of business. Weird.

When I was 11, I thought that as soon as a man became aroused, semen came out all the time until he wasnt aroused anymore! This is what a boy at school told me!

When I was little, my mom kept a box of sanitary pads in her dresser. I had asked what they were and she told me napkins and I'd be able to use them in a few years. One night we didn't have table napkins for dinner and I said, "mom, you want me to get those napkins out of your dresser drawer?"
