My sex misconceptionsFreddy Woo writes, "aged eight, a boy from my class told me everything these was to know about sex: male prostitutes are called destitutes and women use tampons to stop men sticking their willies up them. Also, women pee out their bums, something I didn't realise was wrong until I was about 18 and my first girlfriend looked at me aghast."

My dadhad a hernia operation when I was 11, and in the last year of primary school. Various people phoned the house to see how he was doing, and I heard my mum on the phone to my nan at one point. "Everything went fairly well, but unfortunately they had to remove one of his testicles". Now I'd just undergone the obligatory sex ed at school and my mum had encouraged me not to be afraid to ask questions, so I asked her what a testicle was. "Don't worry about it, it's not important" was her reply (of course I can ask questions, thanks mum!). However we had also been learning about how to use dictionaries properly at school, and I've always been a resourceful one. Therefore the word "testicle" was duly looked up and the purpose of it was understood, if not the social connotations of the word. Therefore my parents were a bit mortified when I started to tell random people about the complications of my dad's recent surgery.
Length? It would have been a lot less embarrassing if my mum had just been honest with me in the first place!
