I used to believe as a kid that you could only get pregnant if you were married, and if it was impossible to conceive before you got married.

I used to think that the red light district was the part of the city with a lot of red lights and traffic. Now I know better :P

When I was little, I believed that babies came out of nowhere. I assummed that adults got pregnant at random, like Virgin Mary.

I used to be afraid of getting my period because I believed that my [private parts] would suddenly tear apart which would cause agonising pain and a lot of blood to come out.

pick of the bunch

I used to believe that women gave birth by pooping out the baby when they went to the toilet and the babies were crying because it smelled.

I'm 63 and the penny only just dropped! I thought flavoured condoms were a very odd marketing ploy .... not connecting that strawberry flavour was better than latex flavour because you 'might' put it into your mouth 🤣🤣🤣

I used to believe that semen was just the name of a person, no idea why, but it just got into my head.

So when I was little, I used to think the prostate and prostitutes were the same thing

When I was a kid and my dad gave me the "birds and the bees" talk (I was about 8 or so) I thought that people only had sex to have a baby. When my dad told me that people also had sex for fun, I thought he was bullshitting me. I guess I didn't realize sex felt good, so I didn't get why people would do it for fun.

For years beyond childhood I believed that oral sex was talking about sex. Like talking dirty or something. A friend put me straight.

I literally thought “oral sex” meant talking about sex until 8th grade health class.

I used to not be sure how many balls a man is supposed to have. Like, i didnt know that men normally all have the same amount or what that amount was. Which to me justified a bizarre, irrational fear I had that I might have been supposed to have 3, but that one "popped" some how. When I finally asked my mom if she knew the answers to if these were realistic concerns, I honestly thought that she may simply not know the answers to them because she wasnt a man. Was very relieved however when she awkwardly cleared up those concerns.

I thought penis was spelled "penus" like the planet Venus. I figured out the brutal truth in 7th grade health :/ .
