sex

I used to believe…

When I was seven years old I quietly asked my mother, "Is sex illegal?"

I had simply assumed that since so many people treated the subject as taboo, it must mean there were legal consequences for doing it.

I was never one of those kids who actually ASKED where babies come from, but I did have my own theories. I believed that if you French-kissed a guy and he spit in your mouth you'd get pregnant.

Boy, was I surprised when my theory got shot down in fifth grade.

I used to believe…

As most children, I had trouble understanding where babies came from. My trouble, however, simply came in a misunderstanding of terms. For some reason, "born" sounded like "burned." ("Mommy, where was I burned?") Consequently, I was positive that children appeared from fire.

When I was little my older brother was talking about how he saw a persons penis.I didn't know what i was, so when i was older i looked it up in the dictury and it said somthing that I thought was really wrong.then I said it to my older brother and he said it was wrong.Then he told me.I was very surpried at that!

i used to think that babies came from the bellie button. so when my mom was pregnant w/ my younger sister i always looked inside he belly button and say hi to my sister...

I used to believe…

one day i was watchin rugrats and tommy's mom said that the reason why she was pregnat is because she ate pickles and rasberrys ewwwwlll

I used to believe…

When I was a child I was told by my mother babies happened when someone swallowed a watermelon seed...

...well, at the age of four, we had watermelon, and one can reasonably guess what happened. I was literally wailing and crying because I was convinced I was going to become pregnant >_<

I used to believe…

When my dad described human reproduction to me at the age of eight, he said that the man put his penis inside the woman and she got pregnant. For some years after that, I had the understanding that he and my mom had gone to the doctor's office, cut off his penis, and that my mom had then swallowed it like a big pill to get pregnant! Sex Ed. cleared that one up for me real quick!

I used to believe…

When I was about 7, I had found some condoms in my parents bedroom, and I brought it up to my dad asking him what it was. He had me convinced that they were "water balloons" so I filled them up with water and threw them at passing cars, not knowing what I had done until years later.

I never beleived that my parents or their friends (most of whom appear cultured and sophisticated) could ever have sex. I thought it was an immoral act, and the thought of touching a woman where they pee with the part of my body where i pee repulsed me then (the thought that each other's urine could cause illness). Plus the fact that I'm an only child who looks more like a maternal uncle, augmented this misconception. Then in 1992 (I was 12, soon to learn about the birds and the bees) my parents' friends came with his three children. The second son's hairstyle was so much like the father's, and I wondered how was that possible?

When I was little I came across some Sanitary Napkins in my grandmothers handbag. I asked her what they were for and she told me that because she was getting old she needed these in case she wet her pants... I be;ieved her until I was 11!

I used to believe that you took birth control right before you had sex. I thought the women on tv were such sluts because they always said "Who wants to worry about birth control every day?" I thought maybe they were just really horny or something

I used to believe that people didn't have sex, the sperm just came out of the man (subconsciously) some nights, crawled across the bedsheet and went into the woman (i spent many sunday mornings looking in my parent's bedsheets to see if I could find some loose sperm)

I used to believe that the making of a baby was manufactured and given to you as a wedding present. Turns out i found out what it was when a perverted friend of mine said, "My daddy lay over the ocean, my daddy lay over the sea, my daddy lay over my mommy, that's how they they created me!"

I used to believe…

This is about my little cousin who is now 10 years old. When he was about 5 years old (and his mum told us this), he was being very naughty so his mother got angry and said "Don't be so big headed!/have a big head" (and other stuff I suppose!) And my cousin got really upset and sat in the corner and then told his mum "And you've got a big willy!!"
Poor kid, he thought the opposite of head was a willy. And he thought mama had a willy too :)

I used to believe…

My older sister was expecting a baby when I was about 7, and I believed that all you had to do to have a baby was to lie down and wish really hard for one........I was close, hehehe, just wrong about the "wishing" part!!!
