rude bits

I used to believe that a man's penis stuck straight out in front of him, completely perpendicular to the rest of his body and would stay that way. This would be the reason I would just knock my Barbie and Ken together to simulate them having sex.

My cousin (honest!) was told by a catholic priest when he was 11 that a woman had teeth inside her and that if he had sex with a woman that he wasn't married to then the teeth would bite the offending member off. I discovered this fact when I was 18 an he was 20 overe a pint, it took me a year to convince him it wasn't true !!! - he eventually lost his virginity when he was 21

I used to believe that a penis was infact a poo which had been diverted and was not excreted and was consequently hanging out the front, so i thought fat men had big willys cos they ate so much!

i used to think that women hit themselves on the chest twice, so there were two swells, and men did the same on the lower area.

When I was very young I thought a man's penis was called a "bill", and when my dad went to the bathroom his penis would coil up in the toilet. I always wondered how he managed not to ever have it flushed.

I also thought, for some reason, that "sex" meant cutting off the man's "bill" with the help of a doctor.

I used to believe that penises had bones in them. Even at the age of 28, and having had some sexual experiences I still believed that this was the case.(Obviously,I had never seen a penis in a non-aroused state)So when a Jewish friend of mine invited me to her son britz I was alarmed! I thought how much pain will the poor baby endure having a piece of his penis bone chopped off!!

I used to think that oral sex was talking verbally dirty about sex to each other. It wasn't until I was in high school that someone corrected me.

Most of us boys growing up in the 1950s had no access at all to pornography or even nude pictures of women (besides an occassional topless maiden in National Geographic which gave us a boner for a week!) Full frontal nudity was a taboo, even in men's magazines! I finally found a nudist magazine one day but they had the women's pubic area airbrushed out which confused me. I knew girls had cracks down there (I had seen my sisters nude a few times) but couldn't understand where that crack went when girls got older. I thought maybe it slipped further down between their legs so they could have babies. I also had no idea that after puberty, hair grew in that region. I graduated from high school not having a clue on what was really down there!

when i was 5 i was watching my mum breastfeed my little sister, i was amazed by it. i asked her what flavuor it was, she replied its just plain then i asked but if you eat choclate will it turn to chocolate milk, my mum said yes so i went around telling everyone i knew that baby has chocolate milk from mummys boobie!

so i was a counselour at a preschool camp and this one kid (a boy) looked at another kid (a girl) when they were getting undressed to go to the pool. he must have become very worried because she didnt have a penis. he came crying to me and told me the whole story

When I was little, and was first exploring down there, All I was able to feel was my clitoris, and I thought I secretly had a penis and was really a boy.

My younger sister used to think that a cow's udder was actually 4 penis'. She went round telling everyone that a cow had 4 penis'. She liked doing it when I had to walk around with her.

A very embarrased boy

I used to believe that having vaginas always hurt because there is a split right down the middle. I believed this until I discovered my own vagina, and that I was in no pain. What a strange belief!

I thought a nickname for women's breasts was "standards" because I was a little kid standing in the lunch line at school and I hear a high school girl talking about how her neckline wasn't down to her standards yet.

Wheezer

I remember watching George of the Jungle with my older cousin (a girl) when I (a boy) was very young, and I asked her why George had boobs. She hesitated for a moment, then told me it was because he had long hair. For years I believed that I could grow boobs by growing my hair out. Of course, I never wanted to 'cause then I'd be a girl!

I also, like many other young boys, believed that girls had penises too.

I used to think that men had pubic hair only after they had sex (don't ask why).
so one day when I was changing with a friend in a changing room to go swimming I saw he had a bit hair "down there". I was really shocked and asked him about it (he had a girlfriend). He, being a joker, told me with a straight face that he meant to tell me and yes, it was true, but not to tell anyone. I believed him! This held up for one uncomfortable week until he couldn't bear it any longer and told me the truth. I was so embarassed! (I was 12!)

I used to think that the woman's private area was called a "va-CHINA" and I imagined people in China lived in little teepees that looked like upside-down giant va-CHINAs. What else could explain that word?

Once when i was little me and my parents pulled up to a sonic. my mom was ordering chedder peppers, but my dad actually mispronounced it and said "chedder peckers". they began to crack up so i figured it was a joke of some sort. Afterwards we went to church and my mom and I were talking to the pastor. She told him we went to sonic and i chimed in loudly saying "yeah! she ate chedder peckers!!"

I used to think that vaginas were called chinas and penises were called peanuts. Then my mom finally broke the news to me.DUH!
