rude bits

I used to think that circumsicion is when they cut a girls penis off when she was born. I pictured it like "It's a girl! Now we have to cut her penis off, 'cuz that's just how we do things". I remember wondering why they had to do that, because it must have hurt to get it sliced off!

When I was growing up I thought everyone had a vagina, till I saw My Dad in the shower one day and I was shocked and went and asked My Mom right away, what it was and She had to explain the difference

I'm female, and once upon a time I thought a penis was the size of a finger, flimsy and skinny.

I became terrified of them when I realized they were much bigger than that...

When I discovered a pearlescent green camo… adult plaything, I thought it was some kind of clown’s tool or a massager. I knew not to use it, though, and put it away.

i believed that the penis had an eye and could see the womans vagina

My dad was uncircumcized...and I AM circumcized...Imagine my shock when he had to teach me to pee standing up. I thought every boy had a different penis!

Despite masturbating frequently during my teenage years, when the word 'erection' was first mentioned in sex ed class, I thought the word realted to construction work. I had no idea it had two meanings!

I used to think that if your penis was circumcised, ALL of the skin was removed, so your penis was all the colour of the head.

when i was little my mom used to always refer to my vagina as my personel it was funny cuz every time i would see a sign on a door saying personel i would think that dat was a really bad room!

naive

up intill 12 i thought only boys could masterbate(im a girl) even after i found out i didnt know how to. it took two years for me to find out

I know now

i used to believe that women had just one all-purpose "hole".
How was I supposed to know? They sat down to pee!

My 3yr old daughter who has long blonde hair, insists that when she was born, she had a willy, because, as the pictures show, she had short hair then, and so must have been a boy! Lol, she's glad I changed her!

I thought that my clitoris was a genital wart.

I used to believe that whenever I had an erection, I had a bone inside my penis. When I found this site, I found out how common a childhood belief that is.

when i was around 8, i'd only seen the penis of one of my friends. i'm circumcised, and he's not. my dads looked like mine, so i thought that the difference in appearance was a family trait, and that everyones penis looked similarily different in their family.

When I was little, my mom told me that the place I pee out of was my "bottom".

As you might imagine, I got really confused later in life when I heard the word "bottom" used in other ways.

I remember once I was watching a movie, and a mom was talking to her son, and she said something like, "Tommy, if you don't do your homework I'm going to spank your bottom with a belt!"

Not only did I think that was completely AWFUL, I was like, "Boys can have bottoms, too?!"

So for a while I thought boys could have vaginas, and girl's could have penises, and it was only having boobs that determined your sex.

Say What

When I was younger I was certain my "private" was called a ba-china... the boy's were pickles.

I used to think that pee came out my clit and I thought that your vagina appeared once you were old enough to have kids.

If I told you I would have to kill you

I used to beleive that boobs were filled with candy and well the other thing on guys was a tail

i used to believe that a boy never *got* his sperm until he was 16, it was like a *special* birthday present! i seem to remember telling all my friends this when we were headin to sex ed class!!! D'oh!
