I used to believe…

As a child, I'd always known that a baby grows inside a mom's "belly."

When I turned four, my parents concieved a third child.

I always thought that the baby grew inside the stomach, and just ate whatever mom did.

Well, eventually food leaves the body, and so should the baby... but both were to come out the same hole... the butt.

Everytime my mom would poop, I'd have to watch her and make sure she didn't have my brother then and there.

During the real birth of my brother, my other brother and I were sent to our grandma's house, where our new brother had "sent" us toys to play with while we waited for dad to take us back home.

I remember that day so clearly, and the one thought that prevailed in my head; "I hope she goes to the bathroom right away... she'll probably need a diaper... I know I would." ((and that was what adult diapers were for.))

— The Ever-Concerned Sistersex : giving birth

I knew it had to be something pretty disgusting to get a baby. I thought the way to get pregnant was the woman and man had to take off their clothes, get into the same bed and cover themselves up with a blanket. They went to sleep and in the morning, the woman was pregnant. To me, that was gross enough.

When my mom told me the actual way a woman got pregnant, I was so horrified at the perverseness of the idea that I cut her off mid-explanation, saying, "Okay, okay!!" and ran away.

I have two kids now, by the way.

i knew about sex and how things like that worked but i never knew what oral sex was.
i used to think that a blow job was where a woman blows down a mans penis to inflate it (like one of them long balloons you use for balloon modeling) and make it hard so they could have sex properly.
and to give a woman oral sex it was like a blow job but blowing in a womans "baby hole" so when the baby was made, it had plenty of room

I used to believe…

This is actually an ex-boyfriend from high school's belief. I finally set him straight. Whenever I was upset he would ask me if it was "the first of the month" and I never understood. Then I realized that he thought girls only got their periods during the "first of the month." Odd thing, he would ask me not only at the first of the month but all month long.

I used to believe…

until i got to the 8th grade i thought boners was a type of bone that was in your leg so one day my teacher asked me what the long bone on the leg was i said "BONER" and that was a bad day for me

I used to believe…

When I was little my older brother told me that boy's penises were just like the garden hose & they could be as long or as short as they wanted. He told me he could coil his up inside of him or just pull it out when he needed to. I looked through my mom's book "The ABC's Of The Human Body" over and over again to see if I could find a picture of a uncoiled penis!!

i used to think that if you were a virgin that ment you were a lezbo (i dont know how i made that assumption) i was in 4th grade at p.e one day and this girl looked at me and was like "are you a virgin?" me thinkin that meant gay i quickly answered no, she looked at me with huge eyes and yelled "did it get stuck" till this day i still laugh at that

I believed that, during a circumcision, they cut the whole head of the penis off. I had no idea what a foreskin was or anything, just that, despite their tastiness, pigs in blankets always reminded me of something...

I used to believe it was normal for all 10 year olds to masturbate 3-5 times a day...

— no more spermsex : virginity

I used to believe…

Hmm, another is...oh, yeah. I guess as a kid I was a kind of "scared of God" person. So, I believed all these relatively petty "crimes" would send me to Hell. FOREVER. Including having sex before you were married...I think I even wrote one of those stupid letters to myself in the future when I was 9, and I was gonna open it in ten years. I wrote something like, "If you have a boyfriend right now, you should be ashamed of yourself...you have to focus on college..." blah, blah, blah. I wondered where they sold chastity belts, actually...especially after Scary Movie.

— Helenasex : virginity

I used to believe…

One of my "theories" in grade school was that it was possible to have sex with all your clothes completely on. I think I imagined it, basically, as people frenching, but laying down side-by-side...yeah, I did [laughs]!! Wow, that's just silly, innit?

I used to think that a blow job was drying your hair, like blowing your hair dry.

I used to believe…

For some reason i have this picture in my mind that Cinderella couldn't have babies the "normal way" ( i was about nine at this time) i thought that they had to lie down next to eachother and put tubes in their mouths and they'd breath and Cinderella would get pregnant

I used to believe…

When I started masturbating (or, more like playing with myself), of course, I did it in my room in private. Well, when my parents and my doctor started talking to me about it, I was really scared, because I thought that they had put secret cameras in my bathroom and my room to make sure that I wasn't doing it! So, for years afterwards, I would always masturbate under my bedcovers to make sure that the "cameras" didn't see me!

— embarrassed girlsex : rude bits

I used to believe…

this might be a common belief, i dont know. But when i was little i was very innocent, and i believed that to have children, all you had to do was become married. then, you would share a bed and if you wanted to, the woman would magically become pregnant. i dont know. its weird.

— bananaslisassex : getting pregnant

I used to believe…

As a child I believed that you got pregnant by sitting on the same toliet seat as a man did. That's why my sister and I could never go into our parent's bathroom. One time my mother let me and I was sure that I was pregnant the next day when I had a stomach ache.

I used to believe…

When I was younger I thought you had to have an orgasm to get pregnant, like a man. So, needless to say, I tried for so long to make myself have one, (So I knew that I was fertile). When my doc told me I was wrong, I was so embarassed....but VERY relieved.

when i was about 10 i thought you could get pregnant from fingering yourself. because everytime i did my stomach felt funny.

— dreamgrl4201sex : getting pregnant

I used to believe…

When I was little my friend and I were playing barbies and she had one of them have a baby, but she wasn't married. Since, being young I thought you HAD to be married to have a kid. I was confused and asked my mom if you had to and she said no. So i formed this strange belief that you can adopt a baby in your stomach.

I used to believe that a period was a girl peeing blood, it wasn't until I was camping and playing with this boy and I told him that and his older sister overheard me she pulled me aside and explained what it really was I was really embarressed.
