sex: reproduction

When I was around 5 or 6, we were at my great uncle's house and several relatives started talking about my parents' wedding. I told them, "Oh yeah, I was there too." They of course knew this wasn't true, and asked where I was. I said, "I was in my mommy's tummy." I couldn't understand why they were laughing so hard at me. Of course what I had accidentally implied was that my mom was knocked up when they got married - which they also knew wasn't true, since I wasn't born for another 4 years... I still feel embarassed about that one, but I guess at the time I believed all babies were just waiting in their mommy's tummy until the right time to be born.

When I was a kid, I never really asked my mother about where babies come from. I thought that they actually came from the stork (I used to be cartoon freak-that's where that came from). Well, when I found out that babies come from a man and a woman having sex, I was quite surprised. Talk about naivete....

When i was little i thought babys just happened as soon as you got married (that there was no act to begin with). One day me and my mom where walking past some sort of Birth Control Stand. i asked her what it was and she said it was so you stop making babys.
I told her she should get some so i dont get a little brother or something.
LOL. she truned pink after that (and i did'nt know why for years).

I was explained the initial process of intercourse...simple enough: the man's penis enters the woman's vagina, fluid with sperm comes out, sperm finds egg and gets fertilized. However, the only thing was I wasn't explained was the process of how the ejaculate fluid comes out of the penis. I spent some time thinking that once a man's penis was inside the woman they just sit there and wait until it comes out...and I was confused as to how they know when the man has ejaculated lol.

I also thought I could get pregnant just by sitting in the same chair where a guy just sat because I thought he left little sperm on the chair and they would crawl up in me.

Out local department store had a toy section where the top shelf contained life-size dolls. Whenever I wasked where babies came from, my mum would tell me that people bought them from the department store. Even though I recall not quite being comfortable with the answer, I did believe it for a long time.

I used to believe that a Test-Tube Baby was a baby that had to undergo so many tests, that they had to keep it in a germ-free tube. I got several odd looks when I overheard 2 people at the airport discussing this subject, when I yelled out "I was a Test-Tube Baby- and I don't think it's funny to have to study babies!!!!" Needless to say, I've just decided to never weigh in on the subject again..... by the way, I am NOT a Test-Tube baby

My son is 4, and everytime I show him pictures related to the pregnanacy with the huge belly, he thinks I eat him and that is why he was in my belly, I can't explaind how it asully happend yet.

My parents had me convinced babies came from a special baby store. You just went to the baby store, picked out one from the shelf, and took it home.

And when my sister was born, I told my mom to bring home a girl baby from the baby store, and she did. So when you're four years old, that means the baby store really is a true place.

I belived that rituals in a wedding are all that it takes for a baby to be born. My younger sis and I tried it out by following the rituals - well nothing happened :). My elder sis had believed that there is a tiny baby inside you from the day you were born and it grows gradually so that it will be ready to be born after the wedding.

I used to believe that you didn't have to have sex to have a baby. I believed that God would just put the baby in your tummy. I also thought babies came would kick the moms belly so hard that it would burst open and the baby would fly out.

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.

When I was younger I believed that the number of hours you slept naked with someone determined how many kids you had. I was always scared I would fall asleep and become pregnant with like 5 kids!

I used to think that the number of babies a woman would have was programmed into her -- there was no external factor like sex that would 'make' a baby, it would just happen randomly. ...at least until it occurred to me that dads were important somehow; then I thought it was kissing that made babies.

When I was 6, I asked my mom where babies came from, she gave me a very honest answer. Before she told me the truth, I thought this: If a girl ate a watermelon seed and she was in love, the watermelon seed would grow into a baby.

I used to be quite disgusted by my own belief that when older I would reproduce through urinating into a woman's vagina. Needless to say I was young enough not to have known what other fluids eminate from "the little fella".

when i was young i beleived that when u got married, god automatically made the sperm and the egg unite and kids where made:)
