One day my friend and I snuck into the boys bathroom. There wa a condom machine so we each put in a dollar and got our condoms. After we got them, we read packet and we saw that they were flavored, but we had no clue what they were. My brave friend opened up the little packet, took a lick, and said "this is good!" so we both came out of the bathroom sucking on them and our mothers caught us. hehe.

My mother use to tell me when i was younger - before i hit puberty - dont let boys or anyone touch your boobs, if so, they'll get bigger ... Now I am a D Cup.. big for a small Asian girl - I wonder what my mother is thinking...
I used to think that babies came through your stomachs. Like a hole would just open up in your belly and out comes the baby.

When I was little, I saw my friend's penis. Mind you, we're both guys and he was circumsized while I wasn't. When I asked my mom about it, she told me that doctors cut off the foreskin on your penis when you're little. #1- I had a good imagination.
#2- I thought she meant the head of your penis.
#3-she didn't tell me it was a by choice!
I had nightmares till I was a freshman at highschool that someone was gonna come into my room in the middle of the night and chop it off while I was sleeping. Those guys still freak me out!
I was adopt, and I knew that since I'm verry small. So I used to say that my mon was virgen.

Once when I was little, I heard someone referring to "Cabbage Patch Babies" (as in the toy doll). I took this to mean that babies came from cabbages. You went and got one from the grocery store and took it home. When you had waited long enough, the cabbage would grow into a baby.
Imagine my horror when I walked into the kitchen one day and found my mother cutting up a cabbage to make cole slaw!
I started screaming that she was "killing the baby". It took her like an hour to calm me down so she could figure out why I was so upset!

When we were little, my sister always wondered how women had babies. I would just tell her that they came out of mommy, just like she did.
A few weeks ago, she finally admitted to thinking that a mommy un-velcroed her stomach and just pulled the baby out once her belly button had popped out. (That was the sign of the baby being ready to come out.)
Now that she's older, she finally knows the difference. haha.

When I was about 4 or 5, I remember thinking that sex was when two adults danced around int hier underwear together. So innocent...
I used to believe that the wrapper things you peel off sanitary napkins (you know, to reveal the sticky part) were called appetites, and they were important because they told you how much you ate. Once, me and my sister found some "appetites" of our own. But I ended up losing mine, and that made me cry for a long time. I explained to my parents that I was crying because "I lost my appetite!"

When I had first heard of the infamous Clinton/Lewinsky affair, it was the first time I had ever heard of "oral" sex. I pretty much thought it was someone humping your mouth. Hahahaha.

When I was small, I thought that old men didn't have penises. I couldn't picture it so I figured that at a certain age they just fell off.

I was confused about the term "plastic applicator" for tampons. I thought it might be like a plastic butter knife that could be used to spread something onto your underwear.

When I was about 6 or 7, I still had a vague idea that babies came from their mommy's tummy, but I had no clue as to how they got there in the first place, or how they got out. Then I saw a TV program that showed footage of a cat giving birth. I went to my Mom and proudly announced that I now knew how babies are born. Curious (and nervous), she asked me how. I proudly announced with a big smile that "the mother POOPS them out!" Well, she laughed so hard she almost s--t a brick herself, and when she finally calmed down, she carefully and gently explained the concept of there being more than one orifice in the female body....

My four-year-old niece believes that EVERYTHING is made in China, even babies.
My seven-year-old niece argues with her that no, babies are made by your parents. A boy and a girl put the baby in the girl's tummy, using their hands.

I used to believe that a vagina was called a front bum.

Until I was 11 or 12, I would look at our neighborhood granny, and then at her adult son - perhaps he was in his thirties then - and I would wonder how she was able to give birth to such a big baby! It never occurred to me that he was born tiny, and grew up to be a big man!

when i was 8 i was talking to a friend about periods and he said he asked his mom and she said "that's girl stuff" so i thought that a period was when girls do "girl stuff" like play with dolls and talk on the phone for a long time. one day my friend (different one) told me to call him after school and i said "i cant, my mom's probably on her period"
I used to believe…
When I was but a youngster, I thought that babies spontaneously appeared a little while after a couple got married. After my aunt and uncle got married and didn't have a baby for a pretty long while, I got suspicious....
