In sixth grade we believed that if you used dirty words you were no longer a virgin, so we went around bragging about how we weren't virgins anymore. We honestly had no idea it had anything to do with sex! Wasn't that silly?

I used to believe that a boy's penis was coiled up kind of like a garden hose, and when he peed, he had to unroll it..

I used to believe that once a girl "did it" just once, she would get pregnant more than once..as if that little sperm was embedded in her system for life.
When I was about 3 or 4 there were some really fun teenagers that lived across the street that used to play with me. I really wanted an older brother, so I asked my Mom to go to the firestation and pick up one up. I don't remember anyone telling me babies came from a firestation, but I was sure that was the place to go!

I was told by a friend who's mother told her that if you wash a man and woman's underwear together, then the woman could get pregnant after she wore them again.
Up until I was about 11 years old I didn't understand how sexual intercourse was performed. I used to think you just laid in bed and kissed and you would get pregnant because that's all I saw on T.V.
I used to believe that when my parents kissed it made a baby.
we used to tell my younger brother that if you ate watermelon seeds then a watermelon would grow in your stomach so he figured to grow a baby in your stomach you had to eat baby seeds.
Before my first sex education class, I had figured out how babies were made. It must happen when Mom and Dad kiss.
My wicked sister told me that baby's come from the armpit-didn't matter male or female.
When I was about 5, before I was told by my dad told me all about sex, I thought that 'swaping spit' was just another name for sex. I thought that a woman got pregnant from swollowing a man's spit.
I told anyone who would listen that a certain part of my anatomy was called a "pagina" and anyone who thought it started with a "v" instead had been sadly misinformed.

I used to believe (and apparently told a friend of mine) that you had to have sex for 24 hours to get pregnant.
When I was 8, I was playing tug-of-war with my classmates and a boy fell on top of me and I was positive that I'd get pregnant. I was so upset because I hated the boy. I told my older sister and she just laughed at me and told me that I was fine. I guess I just didn't understand that there was more involved than that.
When I was about 10, some rude boys at the little store I rode my bike to asked me if I was a virgin. I was generally a very smart girl and didn't want to admit I didn't know what one was, but the way they said it made it sound disgusting, so I said "No!"
My mom has 2 brothers and a sister, and since I knew they came from my grandmother, I always thought that when my grandmother was pregnant, the 4 of them were adults, sitting inside her, and playing cards, waiting to be born.
my brother believed that fish fingers were made out of goldfish. also he thought that black people were black because 'they couldn't afford sun-tan cream'. i, on the other hand, was perfectly normal: i believed that men weed inside women when they had sex. strangely, i know find websites where this is exactly the case.
When I was a kid my dad told me that Spectacles were actually called Testicles. I went around school the next day telling everyone who wore glasses they were actually wearing testicles. Needless to say my teachers weren't impressed as I refused to believe them when they corrected me. The sad thing is I thought this was true until my early teens.
As little kids, we suffered under the delusion that foreplay included the man pulling out the woman's pubic hair, one by one, and that this action made her very excited.
I used to believe…
a friend from primary school used to think that during sex a man would put his thingy into a woman's thingy and then he would pee inside a woman....
nice thought...
also my cousin told me not to stare at her boyfriend. she said that if you stare at someone hard enough you'll fall in love with them. so i didn't. ever.
