I grew up in a very religious family that attended church every Sunday. We memorized the ten commandments and I came to believe that adultery in "Thou shalt not commit adultery" was the same thing as sex. Even when I was in middle school and learned that sex was the way babies are made, I still believed that my church members didn't have sex. I just assumed that some how if the husband and wife rolled over the same spot at different times the woman would get pregnant.

I remember being completely shocked when I found out what adultery really was!

Elise shares two tales about Ye Olde Lady Parts:

I used to believe that when a women received her period she had it for the rest of her life, constantly bleeding non-stop.

and...

I also believed that God decided when a women was to have a baby and that sex didn't exist.

My coworker has two rabbits and she was told they were both males. However, one of the rabbits recently gave birth to several baby rabbits, so it is apparently a female. When she mentioned this at a family gathering her dad (somewhat of a wildlife expert) told her "Well, you know, if you put two male rabbits together, one of them becomes a female."

She believed him and shared the news with me the next day. I looked at her and said, "that's probably why they reproduce so prolifically." Another co-worker set us straight and her dad confirmed that he was joking.

When I was just learning that boys and girls had different private parts, I came to the only logical conclusion: sex involved peeing into each other. What else could "exchanging bodily fluids" mean?

A few bad thoughts about sex from the Anonymous bin:

I used to think "oral sex" meant talking dirty...

In 1st grade my friend told me that sex is when a boy and girl take all of their clothes off and kiss each other. I believed that false truth until 3rd grade too.
