I knew how to masturbate by the time I was 10, but never really did it that much. When I was 12, I started doing it more. MUCH more. When I had the sex-ed video, somehow, I thought you could get pregnant if you masturbated.
I WAS TERRIFIED.

i used to think whenever you decide to lose your virginity you will go to a doctor and he would kindly create a hole for you in order to lose your virginity.

I was a very strange child, and to top it off, my family is catholic. I have 5 older brothers, but I did however, figure out what they were doing in the shower. I also knew that when a girl has her period the egg fell out. I put two and two together and figured out that the sperm and the eggs would live in the drains and if they liked eachother, would hook up and make a drain-baby. This is where homeless people came from.

When I was a child I believed women got pregnant merely by sleeping in the same bed as their husband ie "sleeping together". The sperm had to travel across the sheets on it's own. I knew about sperm and eggs but I'm guessing the elementary school sex ed had left out any explanation of how one got to the other.
I used to believe that all girls had seeds inside their belly buttons, and when they wanted to get pregnant, they would ask a doctor to release some of the seeds so that they could have kids.

As a kid, I use to believe that women went to the hospital to buy babies. Until a female relative got pregnant and I started to believe that women were asexual and got pregnant on their own (she was single).

I used to believed that having sex meant that the man and the woman rubbed their body parts together... up until 8th grade, I had never heard of penetration.

Whenever boys would get hit in the crotch by a ball or something, they'd be like "ow my nuts!" so I thought "nuts" just referred to the area between your legs, and I didn't know it hurt a lot more for boys to be hit there than for girls. So whenever a ball would hit me in between the legs I'd be like "ow my nuts!"

when i was like 3 or 4, i followed my mom into the bathroom and saw she was putting a pad in her undies while she was on the toilet. i had no idea why she did it. maybe she was just unique..? i thought it was toilet paper so i put a bunch of toilet paper in my underwear. later when my mom was helping me get in my pjs that night, she saw it and got mad. i thought maybe she was emberressed. for a while i had the idea that old old women did it.

my mom told me what condoms were about a year before she gave me the talk. though she said nothing about protecting from having babies. she just said diseases. after a long while of thinking, i came up with that people put them on their toungues when they're kissing.

One day we were talking at the dinner table and somewhere in the conversation someone metioned sex. My litte sister (only 9, my brother, sister and me are 10 years older or more) tried talk along with everybody, as if she knew what sex was. So my mother asked her if she knew what it was and she replied: It's when people rub their feet together. My parents didn't understand, but I did. My sister and me had just watched some television. Here in the Netherlands we have descriptions for tv programs and movies. They use pictograms to describe what kind of things you can expect in a movie of tv show. For example if there is violence in it. And also if there is sex in it. The pictogram for sex is four feet, two facing up and two facing down between the first two. So naturallly sex is rubbing your feet together!

My 4-year old daughter followed me to the bathroom one day. I happened to be on my monthly cycle and she when she noticed my pad, she asked me if that was a band-aid for my 'boomies'. To avoid having to explain things to her, I said yea. Later on, I went into her room to see what why she was so quiet, my bag of maxi pads were all opened and sticking to all her baby dolls. She said they all fell off the bed and needed boomie band-aids. I cant remember when I laughed that hard.

I was such a virgin. When I was 14 or 15 I thought oral sex referred to phone sex. When a girl in my health class asked if you could get pregnant from giving oral sex, I thought to myself, �How could you get pregnant from talking dirty on the phone!?� You obviously can�t get pregnant from oral sex�whichever way to interpret it�we were both silly girls.

Not realizing I was being called a lesbian, whenever a guy in my class asked me if I go to �She-She bars� I thought he was talking about some sort of Asian bar. She-She, sushi�I dunno, it sounded weird; I didn�t know he was just saying �she� twice. Took a while to click.

In grade 3 or 4 a boy asked me if I had a penis, and I said yes, because my concept of a penis was simply just where you peed out of (�PEEnis�). Silly me.
