sex

I used to believe…

Up until I was about 13 years old, whenever I heard the phrase "busting a nut", as in ejaculating, I thought that the man literally squeezed his testicle until it burst open.

So I didnt understand how a man could do it more than twice in his life, considering he only has two testicles.

I didnt even comprehend the pain this scenario would cause.

My parents had the sex talk with me relatively young, but apparently they didnt go into enough detail. I thought you could get pregnant just by touching a penis to the outer vaginal area. So when I was around 3 me and my neighbor were playing "Ill show you mine if you show me yours" and we touched our areas thinking it was sex.

I also wasnt aware that the human gestational period is a mere 9 months so for at least two years after this incident I had an immense fear that I was pregnant and would punch my stomach to "kill the baby".

I thought the applicator on a tampon was the string, and I thought that the whole tampon (including the plastic) went inside you.

i used to think that:
1. women became pregnant if they loved their husband enough
2. babies developed in the stomach
3. babies came out the pee hole

Well, about two years ago, i touched my clitoris, but i didnt know what it was at the time. I started freaking out because i thought it was cancer haha. i finally looked online and figured it out.

back in 6, my mother was once making pads for my cousin. Well, in those times, sanitary napkins weren't that popular...so, she was wrapping up cotton in a piece of cloth, when i spotted her doing so...i thought she was making pillows for my dolls. i felt so excited. i went over to her and excitedly said out loud, "Mama, this is so sweet of you! you're making pillows for my dolls...!!! i gave her a tight hug and joyfully went away playing wid it. While, my cousin and mother just laughed for my innocent thought.
thank god those days are gone and we have propewr sanitary napkins today! ;)

i used to belive that babies came from the stomach

I used to believe…

When I was about 10 mum gave me some roasted beetroot for lunch one day & loved it & ended up eating a big bowlful.

The next day I went to the toilet & when I wiped it was deep deep red. I thought I had my first period! I told my mum who gave me sanitary napkins & for months I couldn't understand why I hadn't ever had another period.

until I ate beetroot again & the penny dropped!

Now, being the youngest of 9, I have 4 older brothers and 4 older sisters. Naturally, my older sisters experienced their periods before I did. I once wandered into the bathroom to discover my older sister changing a pad. No one had explained to me anything concerning periods before (I was 6) and so I was naturally terrified and she was just angry that I hadn't knocked. I ran to my room crying.

Of course, my parents weren't home to explain anything to me at the moment, so when another of my older sisters and my older brother found me sobbing both about being screamed at by my sister and about the blood, they decided to have a little chuckle. They told me that girls die younger than boys because when they turn a certain age they begin to bleed out and by the time you're 50, you lose all your blood. I asked about grandma and they told me she wasn't 50 yet, but she would be soon.

I also knew that my mother was 49 years old and that the next number was 50. I don't know why it didn't occur to me that my grandmother HAD to be older than 50 for that reason, but I literally cried for about 2 hours before my oldest sister mercifully told me the truth about life and periods. I nonetheless clinged to my Mother for days believing that she would die in the next year.

To this day I sort of hate my brother and sister for that one.

My mother, for whatever reason, never told me about puberty, so when I started my period at twelve years old, I didn't know what to think of it. My brother, younger than me, said I was having internal bleeding, and I accepted this happily - and went on stuffing toilet roll and cut-up clothes in my knickers - until I had my first sex education lessons at secondary school. I'm now of the opinion that parents should just give their children puberty books at age eleven if they're too embarassed to speak about it.

When i was little i read a book about sex and puberty. i knew that girls had to use tampon when they got older and i thought a guy had to wear a condom every month when he got older. i was worried that i would have to ask my mum to buy me condoms when i was older. good thing i found out what they were.

I use to believe that to get pregnant you simply had to rub your nether regions against ANY male regardless of species. Well, I use to have this big stuffed beagle and one night I fell asleep with it propped between my legs. When I woke up and realized what I had done I was so terrified I honestly thought I was going to have dog babies.

I used to believe…

Not knowing what the word 'laid' meant. I told a joke to my uncle in a checkout line (other kids were laughing at it at school). Your mother is like a brick...flat on both sides and laid by mexicans. The lady behind us was floored. My uncle had a talk with me in the car later.

I used to believe that during sex, a man urinated inside the woman (I had no concept of fluids), and was thus repulsed by sex until my mother told me what the real deal was, when I was 11, a year after we had the "talk".

I don't know how I got it into my head, but for some reason I thought sex was equal to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, because when you put the two things together something great happens(I don't know). Anywho, I had this crush on this girl in about 1st grade, and told her that I thought we should make a sandwich, thinking that she had jelly inside her and that my peanut butter in my penis would make something amazing. I guess I wasn't too far off in the end.

when i was little i used to believe that the adults could have children just with a kiss
