When i was a kid, i knew that something came out of the mans penis that made a woman pregnant. One night, i cant remember why, Dad slept in my bed and i was in my parents bed with Mum. I was terrified that if something came out of his penis onto my bed it could get inside me and make me pregnant the next time i slept in my own bed! It had me scared for weeks, esp when i had "cravings" for chocolate!

When i was younger i thought that ,due to witnessing the absorbent tests on t.v , that sanitary towels were actually like in soles for your shoes to prevent sweating!!
it made sense until i asked my mum why she didn't wear these amazing products. The truth is embarrassing!!
Before I found out people have sex for pleasure I was told a condom was to stop a man peeing inside the woman. Ithought this was clever since there must have been a special filter to let the sperm through!
I used to think that babies came out of Mum's mouth. This was logical, as I knew they grew in Mum's tummy, and the only connection between the outside world and Mum's tummy that I knew about was the mouth. My brother corrected me on this one, he told me babies came out of Mum's butt!

When i was between the age of 3-7 i used to bleave that babies came out of your belly button
When I was young I thought a lady just sat on a man's knee while they were both naked and she got pregnant. In those day's sex was a very hush hush thing and was never talked about. Well when I started work (1956) and the subject of making babies came up and I said what I believed, they all laughed at me and proceeded to tell me exactly how it happened. I was most disgusted and said I would never let a man do THAT to me. Of course my mind changed some years later!
When my friend was younger, she asked her (prudish) mother where she'd come from and was told "you came from a hole in my bottom". She assumed this meant she'd actually walked out of a big hole in one of her mother's arse-cheeks, and told me all about it the next day at school. I was really confused, because I had a "where babies come from" book which told it straight, but I always thought she was cleverer than me, so I was totally lost for a few years!

My kids seen my maxi pads and now they think I wear Pampers now they call me Pamper lady!!
I was told that the angels brought babies to the Mothers in the Nursing Home. I asked how they knew to get babies who looked like the mothers. My Mum told me that the angels looked at the mothers and matched babies to them . I wanted blonde babies , so decided I would dye my dark hair before I went to this obviously holy place to fetch a baby home!

I used to belive that my willy was a snake and if i wasnt careful it would bite
When I was little, I believed that babies were born with clothes on. Once I was playing a game with my brother--I was having a baby--my Betsy-Wetsy doll. My brother said I had to take the doll's clothes off. I was shocked. He said, "But babies are born naked!" I refused to believe him, until my mother confirmed it.
I asked my mother where I came from, and was told she'd gotten me in Macy's basement. Every time she went shopping downtown, I asked her to bring me back a baby sister. She never did.
I thought babies just grew in their mother's stomachs spontaneously, but I knew a woman had to be married to have a baby--because my parents sometimes said things like "So and so's having a baby. I didn't even know she was married!" So I asked my mother, "How does a baby know if it's mother is married?" She laughed a lot, and said "It knows! It knows!" As a consequence, I didn't learn the truth till a friend told me when I was almost 13. What a shock!
I have three sisters, A., V. and E. In 1969 when I was 6 they were 19, 21 and 23. The youngest sister A. was having a baby and I couldn't figure out why the youngest sister was having a baby first and not the older one.
First excuse me for making mistakes, English is not my language. I used to believe that baby's were born by opening the mother's belly button. As a child, is used to think that the doctor just had to take the baby out and then had to make a belly button -knot again.
My cousin and i used to believe that we were born in the cabbage patch.We were told this by our parents,aunts,sister,brother,etc...
When I was young I was told that if you had oral sex then you're tongue went black - so everyone would know what you'd been up to.
To my relief, it hasn't yet!

I used to think that you have babies by holding hands. I actually felt my belly growing because i held someone's hand but to my relief i was just growing fat.
I am an English female, and middle-aged. Back in the 1960s, my friend and I (being really embarrassed about periods and sanitary pads) thought that if we had to wear THEM once a month, condoms must be for a similar function in boys! We actually believed that boys had to go and buy condoms on a regular basis!!
Despite masturbating frequently during my teenage years, when the word 'erection' was first mentioned in sex ed class, I thought the word realted to construction work. I had no idea it had two meanings!
