I used to think that if a man stroked or tickled his wife's pregnant tummy, it would him a child molester to the baby, instead of a proud father to be!

I used to think the phrase 'expecting a baby', as in being pregnant, meant that you actually expected a baby to do something.
I used to get red bathwater confused with menstrual blood like if a woman or teenage girl was using red bath foam or shower gel and it looked she was washing all the blood away.

For my whole childhood, I thought that lesbians could only do handjobs.
I thought that condoms were sweets in their bedroom that my parents didn't let me eat. I always tried stealing them, but my parents took them from me as soon as I got my hands on one.
I believed that women who wanted babies ate a seed, which then grew into their baby.
When I was really little, I found some 'squidgy things' in packets. I wanted to eat one, but every time I got my hands on one, my parents took it from my hands. I always thought It was because they were being mean. It was actually because they were CONDOMS.
When I was a child, I used to believe a sentence that the people said " when a girl and a boy embrace or kiss, that girl will be pregnant". Why do people say that? Because our culture is very conservative, most parents won't teach their children about sex, even avoid this topic because they think this is a shy thing. So there is the origin of this sentence. Until I learned biology, I realized that it was a big lie!
When I was four years old, I used to believe that the previous sister or brother can choose the gender of next child in family.
My mum allaways asks:
"A brother or a sister, which do you prefer? "
My sister said she wants a girl and I borned.
I said I want a boy and my brother borned.
So I used to believe this theory very much.
When I learned that prostitutes were women who sold themselves to men, I pictured them sit in shop windows, like mannequins, and being pushed around in trolleys.
I used to believe that child arrived in a family from fly
I used to believe that birth and labour happened in a matter of minutes, up to ten. Not that it took hours and hours. I didn’t think it was painful, just a little stressful and that the shots were taken every day to calm you down.
I used to believe that babies were made by kissing.

I used to think condoms were meant to be solid, instead of rubber or elastic, like unblown balloons.
This one is quite obvious since 100% of all kids who are too young to know about sex would believe, that babies would be conceived anally, and periods were just random bleeding, like piles. Gross but hilarious.
When I was 12, I had no idea what sex was about, I thought that with kissing women became pregnant, so I did not kiss until recently. Until we started talking about it in schools
When I was learning about stranger danger, people were so vague with descriptions like "saying things that make you uncomfortable", "touching you in a way that makes you uncomfortable", and "talking about sex" that I thought that:
A) Any stranger who accidentally scared you or tried to hug you when you didn't want a hug, etc was bad news, and...
B) It was illegal to tell a child how babies were made unless you were their parent or teacher.
I learnt about genetics when I was, like, nine, but didn't learn about porn until way later, so I used to think that if something was X-rated, it was for women (which was why a little boy might get in trouble watching an X-rated movie).
I was a scholarly young lass, so I liked reading Wikipedia, but one day, I was reading the article for "sexual reproduction" and I thought I'd get in trouble if my parents found out.

Up until very recently, I thought "S&M" stood for "Scully & Mulder".
