reproduction

I used to believe that when a woman and a man wanted a baby they would pray to God and he would mail them some kind o fpotion that the woman would drink and make her pregnant.

I use to think that "birth control pills" would make you pregnant. When I was 6 I had a nightmare that I had accidentally taken one. I was terrified.

I always thought that the operation men get so they can't impregnate a women was the same as when animals get neutered, where their balls are removed. I found out in my late teens though that I was wrong...

i used to believe as a kid that everyone had a baby growing inside them, and when you had a stomach ache (or your stomach 'growled') that that was the baby kicking :)

I never beleived that my parents or their friends (most of whom appear cultured and sophisticated) could ever have sex. I thought it was an immoral act, and the thought of touching a woman where they pee with the part of my body where i pee repulsed me then (the thought that each other's urine could cause illness). Plus the fact that I'm an only child who looks more like a maternal uncle, augmented this misconception. Then in 1992 (I was 12, soon to learn about the birds and the bees) my parents' friends came with his three children. The second son's hairstyle was so much like the father's, and I wondered how was that possible?

I used to believe that you took birth control right before you had sex. I thought the women on tv were such sluts because they always said "Who wants to worry about birth control every day?" I thought maybe they were just really horny or something

I used to believe that people didn't have sex, the sperm just came out of the man (subconsciously) some nights, crawled across the bedsheet and went into the woman (i spent many sunday mornings looking in my parent's bedsheets to see if I could find some loose sperm)

I used to believe that the making of a baby was manufactured and given to you as a wedding present. Turns out i found out what it was when a perverted friend of mine said, "My daddy lay over the ocean, my daddy lay over the sea, my daddy lay over my mommy, that's how they they created me!"

My older sister was expecting a baby when I was about 7, and I believed that all you had to do to have a baby was to lie down and wish really hard for one........I was close, hehehe, just wrong about the "wishing" part!!!

i thought my parents orded me from a mail order catalog and they picked me up at the hospital.

When I was three, my uncle remarked about my belly that it looked like I was having kittens. I actually thought I was pregnant with cats.

When I was 4 and my mom was pregnant with my little sister, she told me all about the egg and the sperm except for how the sperm got from the man's body to the woman's. First, I thought that it came out his foot and then wriggled its way across the floor until it came to a woman and then climbed up her leg to her uterus. I decided that couldn't work. Then I thought that it must go through his spit when he kissed her. I thought that if the people weren't married yet, then the sperm couldn't be able to get through. So people who weren't married could kiss and not make a baby, but people who were married were really making a baby when they kissed.

When i was young, I always thought people made babies by males peeing into the females mouth.

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

i knew about sex but i didnt think it had anything to do with babys, i wasnt around them so i didnt care

I used to believe in spontaneous generation; ie: sex was an option for reproduction, but if all else failed, one could reproduce themselves through xenogenesis; through pure free will.
This was how I imagined my creation.

When I was a child most babies were delivered at home by the village midwife. She carried a big black "doctor's bag". As children we believed that people ordered a baby and she brought it to the house in the black bag. We also thought that all babies were boys and the mother and father dressed it as a boy if they wanted to keep it as a boy, but dressed it as a girl if they wanted a girl. As we got a little older we got more confused over gender and circumcison. We thought the parents who wanted a girl took the baby to be circumcised (everything cut off!!!) to turn it into a girl.

I used to believe that in order to get a baby, you would just ask god for one and then in a couple of months you would go to the hospital to get one

When I was a little kiddo, I used to think that semen was another word for spit, like salava. When I asked my mom where I get my semen from, she was horrified. (mainly cuz i asked it during her lunch with her friends)

When I was about 5 I had no idea how babies were born and assumed that they just appeared out of thin air. I confused the hell out of my parents by asking what would happen if a baby was born in our kitchen while Mum was washing up.
