when I was a younger girl my mom told me that if I let the boys touch my boobies theyd grow really big. That was dumb seeinghow I wanted big boobies. I used to allow my friends that were boys touch them all the time. Thanks MOM! I wonder tho they are a G cup....

My mom told me that when I was little, I walked into the bathroom where my dad had just gotten out of the shower and I shouted at him, "Daddy, your tail is on backwards!"
Somehow everybody in my family, and now my boyfriend know this story!

For the longest time, I used to think that males had "peanuts." I never understood, of course, why it was also something we ate.

I used to believe girls had a penis too, it just that theirs were farther back near their butt which is why girls had to sit down to pee and poo.

When I was about four or five years old, for some reason I was ynder the impression that I was supposed to have FOUR testicles. Well, one day, i was using the toilet, and I started to feel around and I was frightened when I realized that I only had two testicles. So I ran out of the bathroom screaming, "My balls are gone daddy!' So my dad reassured me that I was okay, and thats that.

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.

Back when I was going through puberty, my grandmother gave me a "what's happening with my body?" book which had information both on male and female bodies. Being a curious young girl who was also getting to be "that age," I naturally read all the stuff about boys' bits. One part was a section on circumcision, which had a crude illustration of two boys showering in a locker room, one with a penis drawn smoothly and one with a penis drawn with a little tip. The accompanying text described the foreskin as a "hood", but didn't really specify which boy in the picture was which. Since the book talked about uncircumsized boys first, and since the boy with the tipped penis was on the left and thus first, AND since the tip looked a bit like the hood of a jacket, I assumed that he was supposed to be the uncircumsized one. I pictured the foreskin as a big fleshy lump on the tip of a penis! It wasn't until much, much later that I realized I'd had it completely backwards!

I used to not be sure how many balls a man is supposed to have. Like, i didnt know that men normally all have the same amount or what that amount was. Which to me justified a bizarre, irrational fear I had that I might have been supposed to have 3, but that one "popped" some how. When I finally asked my mom if she knew the answers to if these were realistic concerns, I honestly thought that she may simply not know the answers to them because she wasnt a man. Was very relieved however when she awkwardly cleared up those concerns.

I used to believe my penis, would grow to such an insane length, that space aliens would land on it, and then take over the world.

When I was at boarding school, a girl in my dormitory told me that you only grow when you're asleep, and if you slept on your front, you grew up flat-chested. I spent ages trying to get to sleep on my back, but gave up eventually and resigned myself to pancakedom in later life. Despite sleeping on my front, I'm now a 34F.

I thought my testicles were pickled onions I had swallowed wrongly.

When I was a young spadge I used to think that your bell-end was like the ball in a ballpoint pen. Consequently, I also believed that if you pulled your foreskin too far back your bell-end would plop out like an egg from a hen’s arse. What were my parents thinking? Why didn’t they ever tell me? Oh, and nobody told me that banjo-strings (the string of flesh that links the foreskin to the bell-end, known in GU clinics everywhere as the frenulum) were normal either. I spent most of my adolescence thinking I was a freak. It was only when a friend told me his had nearly snapped, before whacking his cock out and showing me the withered thread that I realised I was normal. I’m not exaggerating when I say it was the biggest relief of my life.

I used to think that only women had pubic hair...i don't know why! i found out in fifth grade that men do too. maybe it was because i only saw my mom naked growing up, our dad always hid from us then. the only nude males i saw were my friends that were boys when we played the "i'll show you mine" game.

I thought that to breastfeed, a woman had to poke a hole in her nipple (like the hole in a bottle nipple).

When I was younger, I had no idea what the difference between boys and girls was (and I mean the REAL difference). When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I went to my cousin's house, and one of my cousins, A.J., who is a boy, was a baby at the time, and my aunt went to change his diaper. I stared at it thinking "What the heck is that thing?"

Then later, I went to my other cousin's house, he was about 3 or 4, and he went to go to the bathroom and for some reason he had this insecurity and always wanted someone in the room with him. Since I was the only one in the room, I went in and -- stupidly -- watched. First of all I didn't know why he'd put the seat up and I told him he'd probably fall in, and he didn't get a word I was saying and just went along and peed right there. When I saw that I never looked at a guy the same again.

My sister use to belive the reason mom had two breasts - one to give milk, the other for juice.

Until I was in college, I truly believed I had three testicles.

For most of my life I was self-conscious about my body because I was so obviously different. From an early age, I knew people should only have two, yet I very clearly appeared to have three. I was so self-conscious, in fact, that I never spoke to anyone about it or asked anyone if it was a problem.

While in college, I began to have acute pain in my abdomen. I found I could lie on my back and the pain would eventually subside. I also noticed that my "third testicle" seemed to disappear during this exercise. I did a little research and came up with a theory that needed proof. The problem became progressively worse, interfering with my daily routine and studies. I sought medical attention, and the (now obvious) diagnosis was made:

I had been born with a hernia that had never been caught.

One night when i was 6 my Mum and Sister came to tuck me in for bed. "Do babies come from your boobies?" I asked. They just laughed at me but I couldn't think of what other use they had!
