When i was about 13 years old I was having a girly chat with my friend about periods and stuff. Then this boy in our class came over and asked us what we were talking about. At first we just giggled and said 'girl talk nothing for you to worry about' and he said 'what like periods?' and we said 'yeah'. Then he started asking about what it was like to have a period and we said stuff like 'trust me you don't wanna know' and 'it's really painful' Then after a while he said 'so do you just sit on the toilet for ages and let it all come out?' and me and my friend were like 'what?' He thought that you went to the toilet and it all came out in one go! he was shocked when we told him that periods last for about a week and every time you go to the toilet blood comes out!

When I was a young kid, nobody ever taught me about sex or reproduction. Once I got my period, I was afraid of touching boys because I was afraid of getting pregnant! I would avoid them like the plague. I'm not quite sure why I didn't realize that a whole lot more people would be getting pregnant if this was the case.

I had an older brother who was in a band so My mom and i got him this shirt that says on the front "I'm with the band" on the back it said" show me some hooters. So when i asked what hooters were she told me that hooters were feet.. I belived that till i was about 9.

My friend told me that when she was little she used to think that a person got pregnant by when got thought the time was right, he would put a baby inside of its moms stomach.

I used to beleive sex was just kissing naked. So because of this I wonderd if you could get pregnant if you kept one sock on, or stood real far apart while kissing.

I thought everyone had a penis but mine was really small so I couldn't see it (this belief stemmed from walking in on my babysitter's son peeing when we were about three).

I was 3 when my brother was born and when I watched my mom breastfeeding I was sure one was vanilla and the other chocolate!

I used to believe…

When I was younger, my mother always watched talk shows like "Maury" and such, and occasionally there'd be an episode featuring hermaphrodites. Once my mom explained what a hermaphrodite was exactly, I was sure I was one as well because that at that time I thought that all girl's privates were totally smooth, like a doll's. I kept on thinking this until I was 11 or 13, I believe.

this happened to my brothers friend.

so his parents let him in the delivery room (don't ask me why) and when his sister popped out, they said it was a girl. apparently he didnt know that girls didnt have penises and he called her umbellical cord her winkie. so when his dad snipped the cord he exclamed "daddy, you cut her winkie off!"

My mom used to say that having children costs a lot of money, so I believed that if you got a baby you' d have to go to the bank and pay money for it...

I used to think that a man's sperm swam out through his belly button while he slept and flew through the air in a big cloud to get into his wife's belly.

I was just a bit confused.

I used to believe…

When I was in the first grade, my friend told me that sex was when:

the mommy and the daddy went into the bathroom naked. the mommy kissed the daddy's privates and vise vera. then, the mommy became pregnant!

this was the same friend that told me you can get pregnant by kissing too much.

i learned the truth about this when i asked my mom, boy...was she surpised!

I used to believe…

when i was about 6-7 i found a condom in my bed and i asked my mom what it is she told me that it was something you put on your nose when your playing dress ups so you can look like an elephant. so about a week later me and two friends were playing dress ups at one of their houses. i wanted to have the best dress up so i went and asked my friends mom for a condom. i think her mom talked to mine about that cos not long after she told me what it is
