I used to believe that sex was a recently thought up invention, probably invented only a couple of years before I found out about it. I remember thinking "Phew, that's lucky, my generation will now be able to carry on the human race."

When my auntie was in hospital having given birth to my cousin (she was in her 20's) she couldn't understand how the woman in the next bed had had a aby when she wasn't married. She had to ask her mother when she came to visit. I'm not sure whether she thought that you couldn't get pregnant until you were married (even if you had sex) or that you were physically unable to have sex until you were married. There is also the possibility that she didn't know which part of being married had got her pregnant but I've never like to ask :-)

When I was about five, I was on a car ride with my parents. I'd recently learned what a penis was. We drove by a field of cows. I said to my mother, "Wow! That cow has a lot of penises!"

When I was little, I thought babies were made when the mother and father kissed. They exchanged germs or "cooties", and the father's saliva helped create a baby inside the mother. I always expected babies when I saw people kissing.

My friends little brother found her tampons in her room. He took them out to his father & asked what they were. His father told him they were special ear plugs. So when her brother didn't want to listen to what was being said he would search for the special ear plugs.

I thought a woman became pregnant from kissing. No need for any clothes to be removed. I couldn't figure out what in male saliva made her pregnant or how whatever it was got from her mouth to her stomach.

I must have been about 7 or 8 years old. At the time I was seeing ads for feminine napkins which I thought were individually wrapped table napkins. I could'nt understand why anyone would need individually wrapped table napkins.

My mum is french so she called vaginas, 'zizi's' and penis's something like 'ricket's'. I was watching the news and it said that children in 3rd world countries had rickets due to malnutrition. So I thought that if ate badly you'd become a boy.
See there's logic there!

When I was about 8 and just finding out about how babies were made, I used to think that the sex of the baby depended on which parent had been 'trying harder'when they made the baby. If the dad had been trying harder, the baby would be a boy, and if the mom had, it would be a girl.

I used to think that girls peed out of their clitorises and that they were mini penises.

Up until 5th grade (when we watched the sex ed video), I thought that when girls reach the age for having children, they spontaneously develop an opening between their anus and their vagina where intercourse takes place. I also thought when a girl said she was having her "period" that was another term for saying she was having sex.
