When I was younger my mom explained sex to me as a "special hug." I thought that meant hugging and kissing at the same time.

Okay so this is more about sexuality in general than any particular part of sex. I am and always have been a bisexual and when I was little I thought everyone was. I thought it was really a common thing. That we could all have crushes on both genders but there was some kind of secret deal that society had made, that we'd all keep those feelings of love and attraction for same sex a secret because it didn't make babies. I thought everyone just ignored their feelings for people of the same gender because we all wanted to have kids when we were older. But I didn't mind the idea of not having kids so I told a girl I liked her. She told everyone and they made fun of me, but that only encouraged the theory that they were all hiding the same thing and they were just mad that I wasn't following their rules. Because of this, and the fact that I was bullied so much for it, I decided I would follow those rules and I pushed all those feelings I had for girls deep down inside. It wasn't until I was eighteen that I finally came out of the closet and accepted my feelings for same sex. To this day, I still feel embarrassed when I find myself attracted to a beautiful woman.

The odd one out

I used to think that since gay men were the functional equivalents of women, they would go out with straight men. Same with lesbians and straight women.

I also used to think that "eating pussy" actually involved consuming the flesh of the woman's nether regions, and I was never too clear on whether it would grow back or not.

When Pearl Jam's album, 'Vitalogy,' was released, I was in my early teens. In the album's liner notes, for kitsch value, is included an ancient screed against masturbation that features "before" and "after" illustrations of a young man who has succumbed to the "debilitating disease" of "self-pollution." Before, the man is healthy and spry; after, he is pallid and ill. Uninformed about sex and raised in a Puritan atmosphere, I wondered seriously whether the claim were true. For a long while, I suspected that it was and feared accordingly for my health.

For ages, I thought one had to buy a special tube in order to have sex. The tube would be attached to the genitals of each party, and conception would somehow occur, following an unspecified exchange of bodily fluids.

When I was around 6 and my brother was 14, we were watching TV. And all of a sudden a commercial came on for a TV show called Porn and Chicken. I like the ring it had to it so I started saying it over and over again until I made it into a song. My brother said for me to stop, and I bickered back no. He then asked me what porn was and I replied:
It's something you do at a funeral.
I THOUGHT IT WAS MOURN!

I used to believe that sex was two people rolling around and nothing else....so in the 3rd grade me and my friend took turns rolling around on the floor with her big pink bunney.

When I was in 2nd grade, I heard somewhere that Viagra was when men had to get a vein removed in their chest and that they could die from the surgery. I told all my friends that were boys about this and some of them started wishing they were girls. Then one time I asked my teacher, Ms. Larsen, why men had to have Viagra and what caused Viagra. I got in trouble and was very confused.

I remember my mum asking me if I knew what sex was. I was 7/8yrs. I looked at her and indignantly said "Yeh, of course I do, it's when a man touches a woman's boobies"! She says now that she decided she didnt want to tell me it was a little more complicated than that!

When I should have been old enough to know better, I didn't realize that the penis actually penetrated the vagina. I guess I just thought they kind of touched and rubbed against each other.

When my friend told me how it was really done, I thought it sounded extremely painful!

Sony full of Bologna

The kids in my neigborhood would sing this rhyme, "It's a boy's occupation to stick his bonanation in a girl's seperation to increase the population, if you want a demonstration, Lie Down". I thought they meant that the boy should put his penis between the girl's breast. I didn't know of any other seperation. Eeks...I think I was almost out of elementry school at the time!

Catholic Girls Start Much too Late

I thought men and women had sex in a scissors position with their feet in each others face...I couldn't for the Life of Me understand why anyone would do it LOL!

Mum bought me a book called 'The Body Book' after I started asking questions about sex. It simply said that the man puts his thing in the womans thing, that it was the most special cuddle a man could give and this was how babies were made.
For years I didnt know sex involved any movement. I thought he put it in and then waited a while then took it out again once she was pregnant.
Luckily I found out before it was too late!

Stupid Child

When I was little I was told that sperm was a bug by my friend (who was rather interested in the subject of sex, she also told me that sex was when u laid in the dark and made funny noises at each other) and so I believed that when a guy jizzed, it meant that a bug crawled out of his penis into a girl...(everybody knew this cause I drew it once). Needless to say I was wrong...I never thought bugs could swim! Lol!

a more educated girl

I used to believe that you could only have sex if you wanted a baby. This belief was immediately shattered as soon as I confided with my older cousin. So much laughing...
In a way I was glad that my cousin told me the truth. Who knows, the belief could've lasted a lot longer...
