I used to believe…

My Mom used to talk about the child that she lost before I was born, so everytime we went out I was really close to them just in case.

I used to believe…

For a while I thought that when you got married, at the end of the ceremony the priest would hand the bride a baby. Funny thing is I knew very well my parents were not married.

I used to believe…

The full assortment of functions the penis provides was confusing to me as a child.

When I was 9, we went on a school trip out to the middle of nowhere, and after we'd been on the road for a while, I really needed to pee. The driver told me to just hold on, so I resorted to what I always do when I have to pee and can't get to a toilet: rub my crotch vigorously.

The older kids turned around and stared at me with mischievous grins on their faces. One asked, "Why are you doing that?"

I answered, "It makes it feel better." (At the time, I didn't understand why they were giggling about me.)

Today, I'm not sure I still believe that masturbating lessens my urge to pee. In fact, 2-3 years later, I discovered my Dad's erotica collection, which described in great detail the sticky white fluid that comes out of penises when rubbed. This had never happened to me, but I really wanted to make it happen, so, for the first time, I masturbated to orgasm. Nothing came out. So I thought you had to force it out consciously. Pee came out. For the next year or two, until my body started producing semen, I peed while masturbating, thinking that was what was supposed to happen, and that my semen was simply thinner and yellower than other men's. My parents threw out that mattress.

i used to stick my finger in my butt,for that is how i thought a baby is made.

I used to believe…

when i was in the 3rd grade, the boy across the street had a shed in his backyard and we used to go in there and play house. my two other friends were girls and then he was the only boy. one time when we were in the shed we played truth or dare and my friend shannon dared him to show us his penis. i had never seen a penis before besides my little cousin's. my cousin was not circumcised and i ahd no idea what circumcision was, so whent he boy pulled down his underware in the shed i exclaimed "yours is deformed!" the poor boy probably had issues for at least a year after that incident.

I used to think that if you were a virgin it meant you had sex before. little did i know it was the other way around. I thought this beucase the stupid boys in our 4th grade class would go around asking you if you were a virgin. if you said yes it was bad, and if you said no they would leave you alone. so for years some crude jokes or whatever by kids would say are you a virgin i'd say no. even though i was i was i had it backwards. lol.

I used to believe…

this is a boy's belief in my 6th grade science class.
In sixth grade i was doing an assignment with the boy at my lab table. i took out a jumbo pink highlighter. the brand and words on the marker had worn off so it was just plain pink nothing on it. the boy was like oh my god! put that away. i was like chill out what they heck is your problem? he said "thats a tampax. thats the little case you keep your tampax in, gross put it away." my young and really cute science teacher walked up and was like what the heck?! I told the boy it was highlighter and took off the cap and showed him. the boy was so embarassed he got up and went across the room to his friend to get away from me. my teacher looked at me and said "boys can be kind of dumb with girl stuff you know? just ignore it." i could have died. my teacher was SO hott and i was so embrassed i couldn't look him in the eye for a few weeks.

— Reneesex : periods

I used to believe…

when i was about 10 my friend brittany told me about periods. But i thought that you only bled once a day for a few days, not all day and night. My friend channing had two older sisters and we stayed up late with them one night. they thought I was asleep and the older girls started tlaking about how thier periods hurt and stuff. I thought the blood comming out would burn and sting like a cut. also at channings house one time i went to use the bathroom and there was a thong in the sink and it had blood all over the crotch. I had never seen a thong before so i was like "channing is that what your sister wears for her period so it doesn't bleed thorugh?" and she was like no you idiot thats just her thong underware.... me and channing also used to call each other on walkie talkies across her huge house and talk about how bad our periods hurt like ladies did on the phone. SO stupid.
I was like totally okay with tlaking to my friends about it, but so shy with my mom i hid it from her for 2 months. I also remember when they separated the girls and the boys from each other and made us watch a special video. during the video this one girl rachel who was really popular and mean asked if girls can get pregnant from a vibrator. no one knew what she was tlaking about and the teacher took her out of the room and made her sit in the hall. after the video was over we went out to recess, and the boys in our grade were all like "god you won"t believe whatwe had to watch it was SO gross, what happens to boys is really really bad." Us girl's were like "no TRUST US girls have something wayy worse!" haaha

I used to believe…

When I was little, about seven or so.For some reason I thought the word 'organism' was 'orgasm', I'm not even sure where I'd heard the latter.
I got some strange looks when in class I said "plants and animals, like people, are all living orgasms" my teacher turned bright red and was choking back laughter. She quietly told me later that was the wrong word.

I used to believe…

When I was 4 years old, I used to believe that you would get pregnant from kissing. But one day, I decided that my friend and I would go into my closet and "make out"!! Of course, we didn't know what we were doing, but after he and I were done kissing, I was so scared that I instantly had a baby in my stomach! I thank my grandmother for this old belief. But I know she was only trying to protect me.

I used to believe…

When I first discovered the little red "bump" by my hole as a child that I later found out was my clitoris, I thought for many years that it was actually a really tiny penis. This bothered me, because I knew I was a girl and I wasn't supposed to have one of those. I thought I was some sort of freak because I had a vagina AND a penis. I knew I was a girl because I had 3 older brothers and they were shaped different and talked different so I knew I wasn't like them. I started to believe that I was definitely a girl, but because my mom had given birth to so many boys before she had me that there was "boy juice" left inside her and that's why I was born with a small penis too.
Finally one day I sucked up my pride and asked my mom about it. She told me that what I had there was perfectly normal and it was just another piece of my vagina. I was so very relieved......

I used to believe…

When i was about 4, i found tampons in my mums bag, and i thought they were cool cotton straws she had bought for me. Later on when i went to the toilet, i saw a used tampon floating in the toilet. I ran out of the bathroom and screamed 'MUM!! STOP PUTTING TOMATO SAUCE ON MY STRAWS!!!!'

— *facepalm*sex : periods

hall of fame

I used to think (until I was about 18...) that giving head meant intercourse, because of the "head" of the penis.

I used to believe…

When I was about 7 or so and I had just learnt about masturbation I though that the good feeling that came from that was what giving birth felt like, and women screamed and moaned because of the nice feeling.

— Red-eyed Hedgehogsex : giving birth

hall of fame

I knew the basic idea of intercourse, but for a LONG time thought that the woman got pregnant because the man peed inside her.....

— Anonymoussex : reproduction

i used to believe that women could only have sex once. and i didnt know of the whole menstrual cycle thing so i thought the sperm just stayed there forever and would make her get pregnant at random times. and also for some reason(dont ask me why) thought that if a women had sex with two different guys the baby would be all mutated and deformed.

I used to believe…

when me and my brother were little (5 and 3) we used to be obbsessed with talking about penises so my parents told us that the reason it was taboo was because penises are like nasty and unsanitary (because she didnt want to tell us about sex)
