rude bits

I was also quite afraid the first time I saw an erect penis, because I didn't understand how it would fit. They kind of left that part out of sex ed.

I didn't know I a separate orifice for my urethra until I was 12. I always had thought that my urethra emptied urine into my vagina and then exitted my body.
Also, I didn't know what my "private parts" were called until I was 6 years old. How unfair. My brother had a penis, but my whatever-it-was had no name. Then it took me a few years to sort out the difference between a vulva and a vagina

when i was young i was always of the belief that a girls bum ran all the way to the front. I came to this conclusion after seeing my friends baby sister being changed. And it wasn't until a 2nd grade argument with a girl that i was told that it wasn't the case and all boys' problems were they had deformed third legs

When I was younger, I thought all penises were the size of a 3 yr olds (like a baby carrot), so imagine my surprise when I walked in on my dad in the shower. I thought he had some problem!

I have 4 kids, the two youngest being my boys, who are 4 and 6. Well, recently my 4-year-old interrupted my husband in the bathroom and commented, to anyone who would listen, that his stepdad "had a BIIIIIIG wee-wee!"

This was followed by him wondering about MY body parts, and so he asked me if I "had a big wee-wee." I had to explain to him that "Girls' wee-wees don't stick out." Fortunately he accepted this.

Finally, he got to the point of showing off his penis to me, saying, "When I get big; I'll have a big wee-wee!"

This was followed immediately by him pointing to his scrotum, and asking "What are these for, Mommy?" Fortunately his older brother overheard this and came to my rescue. Very calmly he explained to his brother: "That's where your pee-seeds are. The pee-seeds make pee, and then it comes out your wee-wee." Since he was half right, I decided to let the matter stand for now.

I used to think I had bones in my penis and that was why it got big, and when it went down I was scared because I thought my penis was broken...

When I war around 5 or 6 years old, I used to believe that black boys had a white penis, just like mine.

I used to think you could lose your boobs if you ate too much beef, so I became a vegetarian.

I used to believe boys aren't scared of fire because they have that firemen hose which can shoot water to kill the fire..

Circumcision meant getting your dick and testicles cut off

I used to believe that I could "wish" my breasts were bigger, but now I know I was just a boob for thinking that!!

my mom used to always rub on my stepdad's stomach, so i always thought that my stepdad's balls were right below his belly button

when i was about 2-4 my parents were watching this comedian and it said something about a girl having a penis. i thought i had known that only guys had penises but that joke had confused me. i asked every man walking down the street if they had a penis but then one day my parents told me and i stopped...haha

Somebody...

When I was about 6 or 7 I saw my mom changing her shirt. I was so scared that I would grow up and have 'blisters' on my breasts too since we were releated.

Even though I'm a girl, for a while I didn't know anything about female genitals. I thought there was nothing down there except one hole in the front for peeing, and another hole in the back for pooing. Then I learned where babies come from and revised my theory to include three holes. But I thought there were three holes, some hair at the front, and that's it, and I couldn't imagine why anyone would find female genitals interesting to look at.

I didn't know a thing about labia, but one day I discovered my own labia and clitoral hood. Since female genitals are nothing but a row of holes, I assumed that my labia were going to grow into testicles and my clitoral hood was going to grow into a penis and I would turn into a boy. I figured this is why my parents kept making me dress in pants and running shoes instead of dressing girly like I wanted to.

When I was 3 years old I was standing in my parents' bathroom. My father had just gotten out of the shower and my mom said, "Look, honey, that is daddy's body." I pointed to his penis and said, "dobby". From that point on all penises were dobbies. I never understood why my friends didn't know what they were. And then eons later,to top it all off, Harry Potter's house elf was named Dobby. Imagine my amusement hearing Harry yell, "Bad dobby!."

I used to think that boys didn't get their penis until they were 18 which was legal adulthood!

I used to think that movie stars didn't have penises and vaginas because they were too rich, beautiful, and too good to have something that looked so weird. Especially when it does gross stuff like weeing, ejaculating, having sex, and growing black hair.....

I use to believe and did until my late teens that a boy's willy had bones in it, like the bones in a backbone.
