sex

I once saw a used sanitary towel in a toilet, and asked my mum what it was. She explained how a lady gets rid of her egg once a month and that's what a period is. I spent the next few years of my life thinking women laid sanitary towels when they had their period.

I used to believe that when Men and Women went to bed together they would only ever take their tops off - never their trousers or skirts!

i thought you could pick the colour baby that you had. This was cos for years when i was naughty, my mum used to say "pack-it-in or we will take you back. We wanted a black one anyway, but we got you instead"!!!

i used to believe that when your mother was pregnant, you were in her stomach, and in order to feed you when you were in there, you just ate whatever came down. i had this really vivid picture of my mum eating oranges and a foetal me gobbling up all the segments.

When i was about six i was singing along to "like a virgin" by Maddona, and i looked at my mum and dad and said "look, thats what i am isnt it mum?!"

Mum and Dad looked at each other horrified at having such a worldly six year old, and mum managed to splutter "what do you mean?!"

I looked at them like they were stupid, and replied "like a THIRD YEAR...im in class 3 at school!!!!!"


HA

My brother told me the bare fact about reproduction (penetration) and it sounded so complicated that I figured the man and woman had to go to a doctor to get the thing done. They would stand facing each other and then the doctor would carefully guide the man's penis into the woman. There would be a very professional medical quality to all of this and great embarrassment for the man and woman...but it was the only way.

My friend Geoffry told me that babies were born by the man putting his willy inside the woman. The baby would then grab hold with both hands and be pulled out. I have never been so disgusted.

Our family word for female privates was 'tweenies' - short for 'inbetweeneies'. There is a current BBC children's programme that I cannot bring myself to watch.

I used to believe that pregnancy was entirely spontaneous, and didn't realise that men had anything to do with it.

in my early life i was under the impression that babies somehow morphed their way through their mummy's tummy when 'born'. i didn't ever think of the specifics...

i used to believe babies were born through anus. only after i found out what the other hole's for, i held firm that believe

I thought that babies were born out of your bellybutton (couldn't think of anywhere else they pop out of!)

My mother when she told me that when pregnant with me she had a craving for mars bars so when I was born I was covered in mars bars. I told this to everyone at school till I was about 11.

I used to believe that lesbians and gay men dated eachother-my powers of logic were highly developed but unfortunately I was still muddled. I thought that lesbians were women who wanted to be men because they wanted to date girls, and gay men were men who wanted to be women so they could date men-so naturally, a lesbian would seek a gay man, in my eyes. My mum set me straight before the whole homosexuality thing could turn into insults for my classmates.

When my brother thought sex was disgustinghe said to me my sister 'Urgh, mum and dad had to have sex three times'.

I thought that women just got pregnant without men having anything to do with it. I believed this until I was about 12. I told a friend that my friends sister was pregnant, she asked me who the father was, and I said "oh there isn't one, she's not married"... that didn't do much for my street cred!!
