I used to beleive a condom was to prevent you from peeing inside the woman, which would cause her to inflate.

when i was about 5 or 6 my friend jason (who was probably about 10 or 11) i told me that condoms "stopped women having babies" when i asked him about one that was lying in the gutter.
for a good few years this explanation was interpreted by me as meaning that pregnant women used condoms to stop themselves giving birth by inserting one into their vagina and the condom somehow "catching" the baby. i thought it made sense, ie. if they were out shopping and having a baby was inconvenient, pop one in, problem solved.

I used to believe that sex was only for reproduction, and that condoms were a way to prevent AIDS without preventing conception. A filter would let the sperm through, but not the virus.
I found a box of condoms in a bag my parents had brought home from the drug store. I confronted Mom about it, demanding to know which one of them had AIDS and why they wanted a new baby anyway.
She told me the condoms were a joke gift for their friends and didn't correct any of my confusion.

In fifth grade, I had seen a condom in its packaging, where it just looks like a ring. For quite a while, I thought a condom just fit on the base of the penis (like a ring on your finger) and somehow shot invisible rays that kept any sperm from coming out. It wasn't until I bought one and opened it that I realized the non-scifi truth.

When I was little my dad took me to the toilets in a restaruant and when I asked him what the condom machine was he told me they were balloons for older boys! You can only imagine his response when I asked if I could have one to take home! haha

When I was in the 4th grade, I used to think a rubber ( condom ) was something a guy puts on as part of his football equipment. Helmet, mouthguard, kneepads, rubber, etc etc...Hahaha!
Didn't find out the truth until a year later, and was REALLY embarassed!!

When I was 11, my best friend told me that lesbians have sex with condoms filled with cheese. I eventually realized that this was not a common practice of any sexual orientation and I have often wondered where she obtained this information in the first place.

Before I found out people have sex for pleasure I was told a condom was to stop a man peeing inside the woman. Ithought this was clever since there must have been a special filter to let the sperm through!

I am an English female, and middle-aged. Back in the 1960s, my friend and I (being really embarrassed about periods and sanitary pads) thought that if we had to wear THEM once a month, condoms must be for a similar function in boys! We actually believed that boys had to go and buy condoms on a regular basis!!

When I was around eight my discovered I had som pornomags I had found in a container. She told me that the people in the magazines were doing bad things, and that it was dirty. Then naturally she threw them away. At this point I had learned what a condom was, and was horrified when I discovered that my dad had pack in his nightstand drawer. I couldn't figure out why they would do something that bad, and I thought somehow they must be slowly be going insane. It was the only explanation I could come up with. I was terrified because of this, because I wouldn't know what to do if they actually went nuts after a while. Finally I mustered up the courage to confront them about it, and my dad explained to me how grown ups have something called sexual urges, and that if they didn't have sex now and then they would go insane. I hadn't mentioned the insanity part of my assumption when asking about, so I was even more puzzled by this. Actually I think he meant to say that it would become frustrating after a while, but of course I didn't understand until much later. After that I thought adults would end up in the nut house if they didn't have intercourse on a regular basis, and I still couldn't fogure out why I was told it was bad when it was magazines, but not elsewhere.

My older sister and I shared a room when we were young... one night she explained to me that there were actually people in Hollywood (apparently ONLY in Hollywood) that has sex for fun and not just when they wanted a baby! imagine... she went on to explain they managed this by wrapping the man's penis in Saran wrap and a rubber band. for a long time i thought only people in Hollywood had sex without a baby and when I was much older and learned of condoms I naturally thought that whole Hollywood-Saran wrap thing must have really caught on!

Up until I was fifteen, I thought a condom would actually just stop a guy from coming. They'd orgasm, but the condom would stop ejaculation. Crazy, I know.

I use to think that condoms had to be used because whenever a man and a woman slept together they automatically had sex and couldn't stop it. Why else would you need them.. there's no reason to intentionally have sex if you don't want to become pregnant.
