rude bits

I used to believe that during an erection, a man's penis remained pointed downward. I couldn't imagine how a couple could possibly have sex in any position other than the obvious! Then my 9th grade health class showed (much to my shock!) a thermoscopic video of a man getting an erection. I think I almost said, "Ohh! I get it!" outloud (I didn't though!)

I grew up an extremely sheltered and overprotected girl. One day, when I was perhaps in 6th or 7th grade, my father and I were discussing some aspect of nature and survival. Figuring I was just being logical (and not knowing their true function), I told him a woman's breasts were there as extra fat to provide nutrition should the woman become malnurished or not have enough to eat. My father just laughed and explained their true function was to feed babies. So I asked where the breasts were on animals (since they don't protrude), and he explained how some animals had them inside rather than out.

I used to believe that guys dicks had to be kept in their pocket if they were too long. When i was 13, the guy i liked had a bump in his pocket and he was writing something and he asked me to take it out of his pocket, and i said "oh, i dont think i should. dont you need it?" and he said, "yeah, thats why i'm asking you to take it out." i was like "okay, but i dont want to hold it for too long.."

it was his wallet. i was so embarrased.

when i was little i thought that both men and women had willies but when girls got a certain age they got them cut off.

My mother told me that every woman has a box inside where babies grow. For several years I thought I had a wooden box inside me.

I remember taking a bath with my sister who is 2 years younger than me. I told her that my penis had grown out of me and demonstrated for her how, pushing it in and letting it come out. I told her she would grow one soon.

When I was little I was nervouse about growing breats. I wondered how in the world grown women walked around with these 2 "balloons" in they're shirts. For some reason I thought my chest would feel really heavy or that they would bounce around uncontrollably when I ran. Like they would just be all over the place

when I was about three i used to take baths and get erections. I used to think that i got one because a little skeleton walking around my body gave my penis a bone. I guess i had an overactive imagaination.

When I was little I used to think that girls came out of their moms as boys but the doctor would cut their penis off ... wow i was a pirvirted kid when i was growing up

i had this wierd thought occur with me when i was about 6 that puberty was when little girls turned into men and little boys turned into women. it was something i thought about and eventually started believing. the thought of me turing into a man was horrible and i fretted about it all the time. i also saw my mom without her pants on and figured that she had hair down there because she was hiding her boy penis and thats why i didnt have any hair (i did not have a penis)

very sad and disturbing i know :)

When I was about 5-10, I used to think that when a girl went through puberty her vagina split open, but before she went through puberty it was just a small unopened sack.

I developed when I was young (about 9), so when I started getting boobs, I thought it was because I had breast cancer and tumors were growing inside of my chest. I was scared for two years until we had our first sex-ed class in 5th grade.

I used to believe that the woman's vagina was buried somewhere beneath that mound of hair; it had to be, because it never showed up in my cousin's magazines he took from his father.

When I was around 10 I used to think that a woman's vagina is located somewhere in the pubic hair, like the lower part of stomach. Pr0n mags can be educational too, so I didn't have to ask it from no one =)

For as long as I can remember, I have always known that boys and girls had different parts "down there" however, until I was about 12, I had no idea what the male private parts looked like.

Until I was about 7, I had never heard anyone refer to a males "balls" so I though that men just had a penis, and that was it.

Then once I had heard about men having "balls" I thought that men had a penis, then near the tip of the penis, there was one ball on each side. Then when I was 12, curiosity got the best of me, and I looked it up online and found out just how wrong I had been.
