sex

Up to when I was 8 or 9, I believed that sex was when a man and a woman slow-danced naked. I wasn't associating it with pregnancy (I had never really thought about "where babies come from"), I just assumed that this was how couples would physically express their love for each other, and that this was what was called "sex." I don't know where I got this, but it was probably something my parents probably told me.

I remember, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the term "sex" was mentioned on TV, and my brother, then 7 or so, asked what it is. My mom asked me to explain it to him... after I gave him my definition (without my parents correcting it, of course), he probably still believed it for quite a while

When I was about 11, I figured out all on my own that my uncle was gay. His friend had been living with him for many years, and they both wore matching rings on their wedding fingers.

So then I thought, "How do gay men have sex?" but I never asked anybody, knowing that this was a dirty thought.

So, I used to believe that gay men would lay in bed facing each other, their erections kind of bopping against each other's as they were laying there, giggling.

Seriously, I was convinced of that until I was about 13.
Even then I don't know how I found out the truth.

Hot summer night. Hubby and I are going at it loudly. All of a sudden our 4-year-old is standing at the foot of the bed shouting "What's this, a party? I can't sleep with all this noise".

We sent him back to bed, but we weren't done yet. When the bed squeaking resumed, we heard him shout down the hall "Mom, stop it". I said to hubby "Why is this my fault?" Hubby said "Because you are on top. Maybe he thinks you are beating up daddy."

My sister was 15 and she told me our parents were too old to have sex. I said yes they did, my bedroom is right next to theirs and they make a lot of noise. She was very shocked.

Maybe I misunderstood my neighbor when she described sex to me, or maybe she was simply misinformed as well but I thought after a man penetrated a woman, he simply peed. My first orgasm many years later clued me in to what really goes on. That first orgasm was a complete shocker as well!

I used to think that "spooning" was sticking a spoon in a girl's vagina and licking it off. Ewww...

I used to think that only boys could have orgasms. Then when I learned that girls could too I thought they shot out white stuff because my friend told me.

I also used to think that penises had no tips and it looked just like a worm.

I used to have a bedwetting problem when I was younger. it lasted until I was about 12. I remember I heard kids talking about wet dreams at school and I told someone that I had had one. I had dreamed that I was a mermaid swimming underwater and when I woke up, I found I had wet the bet (with urine.)

When I was 12, I talked to my friend about masterbating and he told me that when he played with himself, at the end when it felt really good, he created "white sperm", which was a seed. So, when I was ready, I was waiting for seeds to shoot out of my penis, so the first time I came, I did not realize I actually came, I thought something was wrong cause it was liquid. For quite awhile, I kept thinking there was more to it and the feeling when the seeds came out would be even more intense!

I used to believe there was a special tube that my parents used when they were having sex to keep the covers from tangling. Due to some inadvertent exposure to soap operas, I knew that sex involved two people, covered in bed, and a lot of motion, but I thought they'd get tangled in the covers unless they had a way to keep them held a little away from their bodies. Logical, right?

Discovered it's better without covers
