Before I learned about sex? I don’t think I really thought about it before I learned about sex, I did learn about it at a very early age so I don’t think I was really thinking about that before I was told about sex.
Not sure if this breaks the rule but I didn’t see any rule against nsfw questions
People got married and somehow the babies appeared
Exactly.
I didn’t know anything else.
In fact, I watched Brother Bear as a kid, went up to my parents and said, “I want a brother now”.
I saw my mom’s tummy get bigger. So clearly the baby came from inside.
How? Idk.
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
IIRC, mummy had to go to the shop to buy a seed to put into her tummy
Well this does kinda happen
I used to think the baby growing process starts right from day 1 of marriage without doing anything.
Same, I used to think the “you may kiss the bride” was a seed being planted via mouth.
So I wasn’t that far off ¯\(ツ)/¯
Haha.
It came together shortly after I saw mom “wrestling” with my uncle
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.
Imagine just straight up manifesting a baby
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
“Milk”
What culture? Never heard of milk-related marriages
I had a science book explaining bodily functions and all. They basically drew a bunch of tiny people operating the human body. Reproduction section was the same, which showed a male structure and female structure. I understood the mechanics but never really knew where this hole was in the body. That came in later.
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
I watched a looot of Animal Planet when I was a kid, so I didn’t have many illusions. I could never figure out how the fuck birds did it, though. I figured that male birds must have extendable bits somehow, but female birds have a tail in the way.
We kept ducks when I was a kid, and during the time that we kept a mallard, he would straight up stand on the female duck’s backs, and that struck me as terribly inefficient. To support this, none of the female ducks ever laid fertilised eggs, so I figured he was just terrible at it.
Little did I know about the horrifying intricacies of duck mating. I’ll thank the internet for informing me in later life… Yeesh.
I didn’t think about it pretty much before learning about sex.
In Asia: our grandparents would tell us we were either picked up from the rubbish bin, or exploded from a rock
I kinda just thought pregnancy happened when two people were in love
