My best friend in upper school believed that penises actually had a bone in because everyone refered to them as boners. She was about 14 before she learned that it was not so!
I used to believe that you could only have a baby if you were married and that it must be something to do with the ring, or whatever it was when they left the room in the middle of the wedding ceremony (to sign the register, I now know). I was confused, though, because most of the brides round our way were pregnant.
when i was little my dad told me that babies came from the bush at the end of the garden. i didn't find the truth because i was home schooled. then when i did find the truth i was 32 and my wife had a baby and i said where did the baby ome from it was very imbarising.
When I was very young I used to believe that a woman got pregnant by eating certain foods, and that when you wanted to have a baby, the doctor would advise you about what to eat. For some reason, I thought corn on the cob was one of the foods that would get you pregnant...
My brother used to believe that when a couple left the church after they got married, there was a big wicker basket by the door with a selection of babies in it, so that they could choose one on the way home!
I remember being a very sheltered and naieve 10 yr old, and finding out about the facts of life in a very clinical biology lesson at school. I was totally stunned, and so grossed out, that when the teacher asked if anyone had any questions, and all my classmates sensibly looked at the floor... I blurted out " But do they have to do that EVERY time they want a baby...surely once would be enough!"... LOL!
my cousin used to tell me that if i put roll-on liquid soap, they used to make for kids in different colors, my breasts would grow. my chest was NEVER dirty!
I always knew that babies came from pregnant women, but whenever I asked my parents where they came from before that, they just told me "from heaven". So I tended to believe that once a woman reached a certain age, she just fell pregnant and it had nothing to do with men.
Mum used to tell us that we came from yhe cabbage patch and our bellybuttons is where god hang us sp to dry. I believed that till I was about 12.
I used to believe that sex had something to do with the long chrome handles on public urinals, and that they would go into your butt, and make your butt cheeks blow up like balloons - not round balloons, but long carnival balloons. Picture people with 4 foot long buttocks sticking straight out the back of them. Don't ask me how this really related to sex, but I was sure this was it for a long time.
I grew up as an only child and at school (3rd or 4th grade) I heard some boys saying that their parents told them that if they played with their penises they would get REALLY sick. I was relieved because I knew I didn't have a penis. Some time later I told a girlfriend what I had heard and she said that the boys were lucky. She said that if girls played with themselves our hands would fall off into the big hole we had! Glad I'm an adult!!!

I used to think that women wore bra's because it held the milk in. :)
Up to the age of 12 I was convinced urinating while in mid copulation resulted in a Downs Syndrome baby.

I used to believe that shagging was a couple rubbing their pubic hair together. Carpets must have played a part in that thought.
I got the words aural and oral terribly confused and thought for ages that oral (aural in my mind) sex involved making a lot of noise, hence the moaning during orgasm!
When I was seven, an older girl who lived next door told me that women became pregnant when a man gave them a French kiss. That year a boy in school kissed me and stuck his tongue in my mouth. I punched him in the face, then watched my stomach for months, convinced he'd gotten me pregnant.
I used to believe that having sex meant kissing each others privates, and that is how a girl became pregnant. I still remember being scared to death when I was about 6, thinking I had gotten the neighbor girl pregnant by kissing her "down there" behind the bushes at her house.

When my younger sister first got her period, she thought that once she got it, she would always have it, and the bleeding wouldn't stop until she got pregnant

I knew that only women had babies, and that babies were inside the mother upside-down, so I believed that the woman's breasts were the baby's feet sticking out.
