    I just thought when two lovers kiss, the woman would get pregnant. Pretty common.

    My parents had a book about sex, pregnancy and relationships. The pictures were mostly cold anatomical drawn stuff. I think the riskiest picture was just naked hugging from the waist up. Since I was too young to read, I assume my parents never bothered to hide the book.

    It had pictures showing the baby growing inside the womb. So I learned early on that babies come from women. It never occurred to me ask what triggered it, I think I just assumed women chose to do it or something. It wasn’t until 4th grade that I had a proper class about reproduction at school and learned the man’s involvement.

    It grows in mummy’s tummy. Some say daddy puts it there but I don’t see a practical way to do that so I’m discounting it. I’ve been burned before with that Santa nonsense so I’m not falling for bullshit a second time.

    In my culture, the groom and bride share a glass of milk on the first night of marriage. I thought that a woman drinking from the same glass as a man lead to her getting pregnant

    I must have heard the expression “they slept together” and figured sex was something that happened when both people were asleep in the same bed

    I used to think the baby growing process starts right from day 1 of marriage without doing anything.

    Women became pregnant simply because they loved a man and were loved back for a long time.

    I thought that babies were pooped out and that boys gave birth to boys and girls gave birth to girls, and I thought conception was sleeping in the same bed of a non-family member of the opposite sex. I eventually cleared up all my misconceptions, and thought it was low key unfair that women have to do both. I still feel that way tbh like why can’t we just share the physical burden somehow, but not much I can do about it
