When I was young, I thought sex was when one person kissed the other and the latter tickled the former's nipples. I once asked my brother to have sex with me. I also believed it proper to remain fully clothed during the act.

Sex was never really verbalized in my house,so having lived on a farm I made my own theory. This theory I thought to be true for a very long time, until having sex for the first time. The theory...I thought that males had sexual organs like pigs, it would just spiral out and the girl could be a fair distance away. Then once touched on the bum by the 'cork screw' become pregnant. How rude of a realization is that?

Being a nosy little sister, I hovered by my big sis’s bedroom door when I thought she was getting into trouble. When I over heard my mom talking to her about sex, she referred to it as the “birds and bees”. I thought she said birdbee. Later that summer we went to Florida for a family reunion and my mom said, “Wow you guys! Look at that. A humming bird.” Then I started to laugh and say, “Mom, gross! I don’t think we should talk about sex.” I looked at everyone and saw looks of amusement and others horror. My Disney experience forever has been tainted.

the first time I heard the word "masturbate" I thought that it was sticking your finger up your vagina!

One day I was watching tv when they said something about Viagra, (A medicine for erectile dysfunction, for those who don't know) and I didn't know what it was, so I asked my dad what it was. He is a devout Catholic, so he only said "It is for men to have babies." for months on end I thought it was something that would cause men to grow a male vagina and be able to have babies! I learned what it was by reading Time magazine, where there was an ad for Viagra.

One set of genitals is enough, thank you very much.

When I was five, my mum told me how babies were made. (Very vaguely). Aside from being utterly disgusted, I thought the mom and dad had to cut their legs off, or bend them all the way backwards to have sex, and the peenee had to be un-erect so you could guide it to the vagina. Until I was 10, I couldn't figure out how the did it.

i dont recall clearly what exactly was it that i saw my parents doing (to be darn truthful), but i do recall sneaking in to my parents room, like any little 5 year old would do in the middle of the night, seeing my parents practically making out. but you know as a little kid, if the eyes where closed, that meant the person was asleep at least that was my theory for the moment. i just stood there kinda wondering what on earth they were doing 'while' they were 'sleeping'. eventually all i recall was proceeding with my plan and sneaking in, quietly lifting the covers and falling asleep. it makes me wonder, what went through my parent's head when they realized their little daughter was watching them all along....

When I was younger I heard the term "missionary position" on a television show. I was curious so I asked someone, I do not remember who, but I know it was an adult, and was told that it was a man lying on top of a woman during sexual intercourse. Unfortunately I did not dissociate the term "missionary" from sex and I thought that it was a man lying on top of a woman during sex, who was dressed like a nun. I don't remember but I amy have also thought that it could only be done in a foreign country.

When I was very young I didn't realize girls had a hole between their legs. I just thought they had no penis, with a hairy spot. I told my cousin how embarassed I would be if I had an errection while trying to have sex. which to me was the act of rubbing the flacid penis on a girls hairy spot.

when i was little, my parents would openly talk about sex being where babies come from with me, but they never explained exactly how it was done other than being naked. well, after walking into their room one night and noticing they always had the TV on, i assumed that was part of sex. so i invited the boy next door over and asked him if he wanted to have sex. then we proceeded to go to my parents room, take off our clothes and watch bugs bunny together. later i found out that he nearly gave his mom a heart attack when he went home and announced that he was a "man" now because he had had sex!

I used to think that having sex was that a man and a woman were naked in bed and they were kissing under the covers. I got this theory from the show "Buffy The Vampire Slayer". Boy, was I wrong!

I used to believe that sex had been invented by some dirty-minded people, and that it didn't exist before the 1920s.

when i was 3 or 4 my mom was tucking me into bed, and i looked up at her and proudly said "mommy, i know what sex is" which freaked her out, she braced herself and asked me what did i think sex was. i said, "do you know who peppy la pew is?" she said yea? and i said. "you know when he kisses the cat and floats up into the air with hearts all around him, thats sex" she was very releved. :)

I knew someone who thought that humping someone/thing was just letting your peener touch it.

I used to believe that you had to contort yourself fooleshly to have sex, I also thought it would not work if you had an erection because your winky had to go straight to the middle. I also thought something had gon horribly wrong when you have an erection. I also thought that "Having Sex" "Sexual Intercourse" and "F***ing" were 3 different things.

When I first heard about sex I thought it was a man and a woman in a dark room on opposite walls, walking toward eachother slowly and meeting in the middle and sort of fitting everything right there.

I used to believe that my parents had tickle fights in their bedroom. I would hear giggles and of course tickling was the most likely reason for excessive giggling. I was nearly an adult before it occurred to me that they may have been having other sorts of fun.

Up to when I was 8 or 9, I believed that sex was when a man and a woman slow-danced naked. I wasn't associating it with pregnancy (I had never really thought about "where babies come from"), I just assumed that this was how couples would physically express their love for each other, and that this was what was called "sex." I don't know where I got this, but it was probably something my parents probably told me.

I remember, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the term "sex" was mentioned on TV, and my brother, then 7 or so, asked what it is. My mom asked me to explain it to him... after I gave him my definition (without my parents correcting it, of course), he probably still believed it for quite a while
