top belief!

When I was little, I picked up some information about things called 'sex toys'. Not knowing about sex at the time, I imagined them like a baby's or a dog's chew toy, but sex toys were for another species named 'sex'.
I learned otherwise when we were naming all the animals in preschool and I said, "I know an animal! Sex!"

When I was in kindergarten, Magic Johnson had come out saying he had AIDS. I asked my mom how one got AIDS and she told me it was from sleeping with someone of the same sex. I started to freak out because I had spent the night with my girl-friend the other night at a slumber party. I was convinced I had AIDS.

When I was younger I used to think sexy ment a person who has sex alot. So when I found a people magazine which had a picture of Johnny Depp on it and words next to saying The Worlds Sexiest man alive I started freaking out.

when i was 6, i asked my mom about sex, because i heard it on tv. she tried to explain it in words i would understand, but made it worse. she said, "when a boy gets excited, a liquid comes out of his peepee", and other main points. after that, everytime i would play outside and get really excited about playing, i would have to pee. i thought that was sex.

I used to believe that lesbians were camels and always associated them with that Joe Cool cigarette camel. I don't know how I mixed them up. Weird kid.

Never having heard the word before, my first impression of the word 'heterosexual' was that is was a person attracted to gay people of the opposite sex.

In 4th grade, my friend Jesse told me that if sperm went anywhere outside the vagina, it would turn black and kill you.

Where the hell did she get that?

I thought that if you had sex before you were 16 (age of consent), you would get AIDS.

Glad that's not true

For a long time, I didn't know that guys got erections, so I thought that during sex, their penis would still be pointing down. Because of that, I couldn't envision how people could have sex. I'd seen sex scenes in movies where the guy would be on top of the gal, but I came to the conclusion that people just did that for a little while before having sex, and then they'd get into a new position where they'd lie with their heads at opposite ends of the bed, and would both move their legs apart really far and scoot close enough so that they guy could get inside her. I thought it was this huge physical feat.

When I was in 5th or 6th grade, I used to believe that an orgasm was the female equivalent of an erection... guys had erections, and girls had orgasms...

When,as a youngster, I first learned a man had to insert his penis into a woman to make a baby. I accepted this and thought they only did it when they wanted a baby. When I first found a condom and it was explained to me that a man would put it on his penis so he could have sex with a woman just for enjoyment and not make babies, I was totally dumbfounded and thought this was a very naughty and wicked thing to do. Later in life I used them just like most others and found they wern't so naughty after all.

a friend of mine was told by his older brother that girls had teeth in their genitals, and if he has sex, they would bite him... A good way to put off the first time!

When I was young, I just had no idea that sex was assocaiated with reproduction. I thought that sex was just a recent trend-a new source of entertainment for adults.Babies,after all came from heaven!

My weird childhood ideas about sex came from a book about baby-making that was supposed to clear things up. From looking at the pictures I figured out that the man must have to squish his penis into the woman's vagina using his fingers (I knew what a penis looked like, but I hadn't heard of an erection). After that they would just lay still in the bed, smiling with their eyes half closed, staring at their genitals until they fell asleep or got bored, I guess. It all seemed kind of creepy.

i used to believe that when i put my barbie and ken in a cupboard together naked they would magically come to life and have sex. I would always secretly peek to see if they were and if they weren't i just thought that they weren't in the mood.

When I was little I thought that sex was just a man and a woman taking off their clothes and sleeping in the same bed

for the longest time, i thought that the man and woman had to breathe together(like, inhale and exhale into each other's mouth at the same pace) for the woman to get pregnant. why?...

when i was in kindergarten, we went to a chicken farm. we were going to hatch eggs so we took a tour of the farm. when the lady giving the tour talked about the chickens "breeding," i thought she said "breathing." i was only five!!
