sex

When I was around 12 years old and first learned about homosexual men, I couldn't figure out how they would have sex. I finally decided that Man #1 would somehow put his penis inside the pee hole of Man #2, as if it were a vagina. I seemed even more strange and awkward that regular sex!

On our honeymoon, my husband told me that he used to believe that when and man and a woman have sex, neither one of them has to move. The man just sits there inside her, and her insides do all of the work. He deffinately found out that its not true.

When I was a little kid, I thought that people had sex by going to the bathroom on each other. I have NO idea what sick, perverted thing I saw that would lead me to think that. To this day I still stop and sadly shake my head at myself when I think of that.

I used to believe that when you masturbated, you bleed. How wierd, that's why I never tried it.

when i was about 15 years old i saw an comedian on tv which he was bitching about his wife who was spending too much money he said: 'with ten of these meals i can afford Yab Yum.'

I thought Yab Yum was a very expensive restaurant.

Later at an family dinner (it was my grandma's birthday) we went to a nice restaurant. Feeling quite the comedian i tried the same joke. My cousin started laughing at me.
But not in the way i thought he would....
turned out Yab Yum is a Brothel in amsterdam

I remember when I was maybe 10 or 11 I heard the word "rape". I didn't know what it was, but I'd seen people talking about it on TV. I always thought that it was when a man stuck a knife up a girl's 'hole'. I was always terrified it was going to happen to me-not because of the emotional grief, but because it would hurt like heck! I'm 13 now, and know better. Haha.

I remember once I counted to 10 in Latin in kindergarten (for my own amusement, we weren't actually LEARNING to count to 10 in Latin.) Since the Latin for 6 is "sex", I remember some kids told me I said a "bad word" when I got to 6, and said "sex" in place of 6. I didn't understand what the big deal was, after all 6 is just a number so how could it be bad?! I thought these kids were just making up lies to scare me.

Also, in case yer wonderin' (not that you are), I was one of the many children who asked one of his parents how babies are made. They told me it's when "a mommy and daddy love each other very much". It never occurred to me they had to get naked in order to do this, and when I found that out at about age 10, I was pretty grossed out.

When I was about 4 or 5, I remember thinking that sex was when two adults danced around int hier underwear together. So innocent...

when i was younger i thought it was illegal to have sex. this all came about because i saw it on a bold and beautifulish type of show.. they had sex and got arrested..(obviously they had committed a crime and not because of the sex!) i believed this for years

Once I finally figured out that sex was a bit more than hugging and kissing, I thought that you could only have sex doggie-style! I was flipping through channels one night and went past a movie in which two people were having sex (I still remember, it was Campfire Tales) in the doggie position and I thought that was the only way to have sex. Much later when I heard someone make a sexual reference to being "flat on her back" I was confused as hell.

when i was in first grade, my twin sister came up to me and asked, "do you know what sex is?" i said no and she said "it's when two adults take off all their clothes, get into bed and start kissing. they need to be under the covers too..." i was disgusted, and for the longest time i thought that was the only way to have sex. exactly as she said, you had to be naked, under the covers, and all you do is kiss the entire time.

I used to think sex was when a guy made a girl naked and hugged her. Then he kissed her all over. I thought this until about 7 or 8 when I was at my friend's house and I got up to go to the bathroom and her mom was screaming and her dad was saying "oh yeah, a little lower." I was scarred for life.

Until the age of 9 I was thinking that 'making love' meant lying in the bed and kissing. The reason was that I was watching the 'Bold and the Beautiful' and every day I was reading the updates. It was saying 'Brook and Ridge talk and then make love' and then I was watching them talking and then kissing and lying in the bed.
