sex

I used to believe that "rape" was "rake", and that if you got raped, some big scary guy stood over you and raked you with a rake.

When i was younger about 9 or 10 i use to think that when a mand and women had sex the penis would get stuck in the vagina leaving the man and women attached together...so the man and women would lay helplessy stuck to eachother until medical assistance came to take them apart! LOL

When I was little I thought that little fairies would jump up on my parents bed making it squeak all the time.

My dad has a t-shirt with lots of pairs of skeletons in different sex positions. He used to wear it a lot when we were little and he convinced us that the skeletons were dancing...

At the age of 8, I asked my mother what "sex" was. Very desperately, in front of my grandmother she just said "Two people get naked and roll around." Until a couple of years ago, I had imaged that 2 people having sex was two people naked, rolling around on the floor, across the room from each other.

I think I was about 10 when I discovered masturbation. This was in the mid-80's, and AIDS was a very big epidemic. I remember being concerned that if I ejaculated, I could possibly give myself a disease such as AIDS.

In the news, they were talking about a high-school teacher who was charged for 'sexual battery' and for having sexual relationship with a minor (a person who is not yet of legal adult), I thought that that sexual battery was using a battery as a sex toy and putting it inside on one's vagina or anus.

Because my parents would always turn the channel or remove me from the room if a sex scene ever came on T.V., I thought that sex was this awful thing that my parents were trying to keep out of the house. I thought that if you had sex, you would go to hell. Then one day, I accidentally walked in on my parents having sex, and I was so convinced that they were going to hell that I cried for hours. My mom decided to have "the sex talk" with me at somewhat of a young age because of this. I now have a baby of my own, and I plan on taking a different approach.

When i was like 9 i was watching Mad T.V. and there was this skit about masturbation and the guy was talking about a hot tub soo for like 2 years i thought that when you go in a hot tub by yourself that was masturbation

I used to believe that the word Orgasm meant what "organism" really meant...Science class in 5th grade was quite an embarrasment for me.

I used to believe that gay guys had sex by sticking their penis in the other's penis.

Back when I was a kid, I thought that gay people were attracted to other gay people. Which is kinda true, in a way . . . except I thought that gay men could be attracted to lesbians, and vice versa.

Turns out, not so much!

That being a virgin was equivalent to being a "slut."

When I was little my dad told me that if I had sex, sperm would come out. Sperm was part of your life, and if you spermed to a certain amount you would have lots of wrinkles and suffer.

When I was young, my cousin told me that you can't have sex until you're married. I knew how sex physically occurred, so I tried to add those thoughts together. I thought for a while that there was a special slit in the groom's suit or something, so it could happen during the wedding kiss. Then I got really confused when I realized that it could happen during ANY kiss, not just the wedding one.

When I first learned about gay people I thought it was something that had only started fairly recently like within the last 50 years or so. I thought this until I asked my mom one day and she informed me that there had been gay people as long as there had been people!

I used to think "premature ejaculation" was a boy ejaculating before he hit puberty.

My 11 year old son came downstairs one morning and said he had "hormones" coming out of his body.I asked him what he meant and he explained..he had a wet dream but had just had some sex ed. and they were teaching about hormones..thus he put 2&2 together and this is what he had come up with.

I am a foreign exchange student to America from Germany. Back in Germany, in my English class, our teacher taught us that the thing you use to wipe away pencil writing was called a 'rubber' or an eraser. I'm sure you can imagine my embarrassment when I turned around during class and asked a very popular boy to borrow his rubber. Needless to say, I now know the difference between an eraser, and rubber....

When I was younger (about 3-4), I was going for an after dinner walk with my parents. I was complaining about walking and my dad was walking behind with me while my mom got mad and walked ahead. My dad says to me, "Go up there and tell your mom that she is being mean." and I came back with an, "But Dad, mom is always nice to you...she sucks your penis." They just stopped dead in their tracks, "WHAT?!" I replied with a, "It means drinking wine!"
