When I was a nipper on Sunday mornings, in time honoured fashion, I would burst into my parents room and annoy the hell out of them.
One day, I noticed these rubber tubes lying by my old man's bedside table and asked him what they were.
"special elasoplasts for Daddies who have hurt their fingers at work..." He replied with a straight face...
For many long years, every time I cut a finger, I begged for one of these special elastoplasts ...alas they were only for Daddies.

When I was four my mom was pregnant with my little sister. Strangly, I kept mixing up the word "pregnant" and "retarded." Once when I went with my mom to the doctor's office for a prenatal checkup I met two ladies who asked me why I was there. I replied that it was because my mom was retarded.

Until I was 14 I thought a blow job was when someone aimed a hairdryer at somebody else, but I always pretended that it was something gross.
Before I knew anything about sex and reproduction, I used to be amazed when someone looked like their father - I just thought that women got married and then automatically got pregnant - I had no idea that fathers had any part in this at all. I used to think "Gee, what a coincidence that some children just happen to look like the men their mother's are married to".

i used to believe you could get pregnant from swimming with boys.
Until I was about 14, I was terrified of having to someday give a guy a blowjob, and I swore I'd never do it because I'd talked to another kid online and he explained something about flaps that came up on it and it scared me to death. I've had several partners so far, and all of them have been circumcised, so maybe other ones do have weird flaps on them.

For the longest time I thought that if you got kissed under a mistletoe then would become pregnant. I stayed away from mistletoe for a long time!
I used to believe you could get pregnant from French kissing. As a 9-year old, I actually held my belly and thought I had real morning sickness because wanted to go suck face behind a neighbor's house.
I was sitting there thinking, "Aw Lord, how am I gonna tell my momma"
My husband has the strange belief that you cannot have sex when the woman is pregnant because the man will bonk the baby in the head thus causing the soft spot!
I used to believe that I wouldn't get pregnant if I went to bed with a man as long as I had knickers on-this stopped the sperm even though it had managed run across the bed from him to me!
this conversation happened between me and my mate when we were 7:
MATE: Do you know why in English movies (these also referred to American and Europeans) when they have sex, woman always on top?
ME: No, why?
MATE: To prevent pregnancy. She will get pregnant if she's under.
He is lucky caused when i realized that's wrong after learning about protection stuffs in science class, he already moved to another state. If not I will kick his ass.
I once thought that semen was blue, and it had a anal equivilant "blue fluid" that was the same basic substance. I was about 8 or 9, and had no clue that sexual relations had a "process." I was under the impression that intercouse began as you wanted it to, and lasted until both parties were ready to call it quits
when i was a kid...i use to believe that u dont have to have sex to have babies....but then i finally realise it was some stupid mistake.
At the age of about 8 my older friends convinced me that being a virgin was being a very very nice person. Consequently, I went around asking people - lots of adults - if they were virgins. Boy did my mom beat me for that one!
I thought that if you laid beside someone you loved ("slept with them") then you could get pregnant. Their love vibes would somehow float over and impregnate you.
I thought that a condom was a person who had a penis at the front and a vagina at the back, and a man and a woman could have sex with the condom if they wanted to stay virgins...
I remember at a sleep over some girls were swapping stories. One of them told about a 7-year-old who had a baby. We all beleived her, being 7 ourselves.

When I was very young, I thought babies were born out of their mother's armpit. No idea how I came to that conclusion....
When I was growing up I learned about masturbation from a magazine I found under my fathers bed.. my parents are for some odd reason against masturbation so they told me that if I ever did it again, even while they weren't home, our dog or cat would tell them when they got back and I would be severely punished. I live alone now but still to this day can't masturbate with a pet in the room. I even close my door to make sure they can't come in.
Our family name for girls bits was "pee-pee".. when I was about 4, my cousin and I got into a fight about it because she tried to tell me that it was called a "va-china"... I didn't believe that such a big word would be used for "that"..
