An older lad told me and a mate what he had learned about periods during sex education classes, but explained the function as washing away eggs, this cracked me and my mate up who both thought he was trying to tell us our mums would lay eggs once a month

I used to believe that boys penises could move independently like an Elephant's trunk and that they could pick up stuff with it.
My mum was very prudish and so I was told that babies came from under gooseberry bushes. Then I watched a graphical nature programme in the early sixties while she was out. There was an african woman giving birth in a mud hut, and you could see the head emerging. Beleiveing that babies came from gooseberry bushes I could not understand why or how someone had put a baby up inside a woman. It looked so awful I was traumatised for ages until the truth dawned on me.
My cousin (honest!) was told by a catholic priest when he was 11 that a woman had teeth inside her and that if he had sex with a woman that he wasn't married to then the teeth would bite the offending member off. I discovered this fact when I was 18 an he was 20 overe a pint, it took me a year to convince him it wasn't true !!! - he eventually lost his virginity when he was 21
I used to believe that you got pregnant by drinking the man's wee wee!! Yeuck! I was never having a baby!!
when i was younger, my first girlfriend asked me if i woz avirgin. I replied no 'youve got my name wrong, i'm not mary, im joseph'
My mum told me that if i ate my apples my boobs would grow - so as you can imagine i ate as many as possible - secretly i still wish that when i eat an apple!! :-)

FOR A CHURCH PAGENT ONCE WHEN I WAS LITTLE I GOT TO BE MARY SO I TOLD EVERY ADULT I KNEW THAT I WAS ONLY PRETENDING TO BE A VIRGIN. WHEN MY MOTHER FOUND OUT SHE HAD TO CALL EVERYONE UP AND EXPLAIN WHAT I MEANT I STILL DON'T THINK THEY BELIEVED HER.
Well believe this or not and it is so stupid but i used to believe you got babies out of catalogues!!!!!
My Mum used to be a huge Gloria Estefan fan, she ended up being the ultimate woman in my head cos Mum loved her! So when Mum told me about periods and what happened, she said that every woman had them....to which I replied....'Even Gloria Estefan?!' To my dismay I've never lived it down :)
My gulible daughter(her dad told her this one) that all babies were born boys and if you wanted a girl you had to put them in a freezer and then their willies would drop off!!
My sister started using tampons when she was about 18, and every time she had to go for a wee, she took the tampon out and, after the wee, put it back in. She didn't know there were 2 orifices. We didn't have sex education in those days!
When I was a kid, I always played with my willy so my mum said if I played with it, it would fall of like my uncles did, because he always played with his when he was younger. It plagued me for years since the age of 4. I was scared to rearrange myself incase it dropped off. I asked my mum when I was 12 if it really happened but she doesn't even remember saying it!!! Thanks mum.
when i was about seven i thought that the whole ball came out when you had sex...i wasn't so much confused by the mis-match in the size of the opening (ouch), but because i was intersted in numbers i was confused because some people had more than two children in their family... i could only count two myself and i knew that must be right because my mum told me that you had two of everything down each side and one of everyting down the middle...anyway i justified it on the basis that your balls must regrow somehow...i suppose that i didn't really give it much more thought until i was about twelve and started experimenting and i found that i still had two whole balls and a messy splat on the floor

I thought my neighbor breastfed her baby because they were too poor to afford baby bottles. Maybe they were!
I thought babies were one year old when they were born. I corrected my neighbor when she told me her baby was 2 weeks old. She said, "well, they have to be something before they're one, don't they?"
when my mom explained how babies were made, I asked if people had to have intercourse for every baby, or if they did it once and the babies just kept coming after that. After I heard her answer, I was amazed that the Catholic family across the street had done it seven times!
In my second grade class everyone thought that sexual intercourse was "TALKING DIRRTY".
