In about 2nd grade I thought "virgin" and "lesbian" were the same thing. I knew they both had to do with sex, and therefore was "bad" so once my friends asked me, "Are you a virgin?" (i don't know why we were asking this question in 2nd grade) and I got all indignant thinking they were asking if I was a lesbian and said, "Gross, No!"
Years later, and I'm a lesbian. ;)
I once told my mom, "I know why during sex the man has to be on top."
She raised her eyebrows a little and said, "Why is that?"
I said, "So the penis will hang down."
she said, "Yes, that's right."

I used to believe that people got pregnant by kissing too much, and men had boys and woman had girls out of their mouths :)

When I was little, I knew that a virgin was someone who hadn't had sex. Nobody ever told me what a person was called who did have sex so I thought that a pedestrian was someone who had had sex.

my mum, my little sister (who was 8 at the time) and I (who was 13) were in a public girls washroom at the mall, when my sister saw a vendor for flavoured condoms. there was a picture on it of an ice cream cone. she pointed at it and said to me, "can i have a quarter to buy an ice cream?" i laughed about that incident the whole day, you should have seen the colour of red my mums face turned. haha

Apparently the only pictures of male anatomy my grandmother had seen before she was married were pics of the man's privates blocked out by a fig leaf, like a adam/eve kind of thing. She told me that when she married my grandfather, she thought he was malformed. It wasn't until she gave birth to a son that she figured out that ALL men look like that.
I used to believe that when people had sex the penis fit into the vagina like a hotdog into a hotdog bun. It was not until I was in high school that a friend of mine dispelled the belief when she was explaining a joke I obviously did not understand. My friends still make fun of my misinterpretation of sex to this day; 10 years later.

We were attempting to sell our house and we had people over that were looking at the house. A while after they left I was just playing minding my own business and I found a condom that was in the wrapper (unopened) on my couch. I didn't know what a condom was and I picked it up and started moving it around inside the wrapper. After a while I went to my dad and said "Dad, the lady who looked at our house left a tiny little hat in a package on the couch" My dad informed me that it was probably not the ladies and more likely my brothers and then he told me what it was and what it was for. I was disgusted.

When I was young I used to brlieve that woman gets pregnant by drinking the sperm and than it stops in the stomach and so the baby comes from there.

When I was little I thought that women had to get a Cesarian section to deliver the baby.
I used to think that semen were sea-men. So when I heard semen came out of peoples penis's that sea-men came out into the world to marry Mermaids. How wrong I was!
I studied French at university and in my second year (I was 19) I wrote an essay on nineteenth-century short stories. One story featured a strange bear-man who had been conceived when his mother had sex with a bear. I told my tutor that this fitted the description of a "conte fantastique" perfectly, because although events seemed supernatural, there was also a logical explanation and what happened in the story, although unlikely, could happen in real life. He looked at me in amazement and then said, very slowly, "look, I know we're not studying biology here..."

When I first started getting pubic hair I wanted it to grow faster so I put shampoo that said it would help hair grow on it. I also thought only girls had hair on there privates.
I once heard the word masturbation and went and asked my mother what it meant. She told me it meant playing with yourself which I took a bit too literally. If I was playing in the garden or with my toys on my own I'd shout 'Im masturbating!'
A few days later I had been corrected :D LMAO
I knew that babies were a result of sex, but I thought my parents only had sex three times since they only had three children. I figured you only have sex according to the amount of children you wanted.
I use to think that if you went swimming and there was fish in the water that those were the "fish" that got you preganant so i alwaysed checked the water before i got in.
I used to believe that when you had sex, it occured at night while you and your mate were asleep. It would happen accidentally, and the mother would just wake up pregnant. My belief was augmented when I asked my father about this and he, acting very uncomfortably, said Ummm... that happens sometimes.

When I was about 8 and learned about the birdsand the bees,I assumed that the babies were born just a few weeks after sex. I also believed that the expectant mommy had to be careful to make sure, when she went to the bathroom, that she was just pooping, and wasn't giving birth. I also wondered how many babies had been flushed down the toilet by unobservant mothers.
