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."

EvitaWhen we were v small we used to relieve the boredom of a long car journey with the joy that was the audio book. Only thing was that we only had two. The first was the Railway Children - no particular interest there. The second was Evita. It became clear that the leading lady was a prostitute. I knew what a prostitute was (being a 10 year old and worldly wise etc etc), but was pretty sure that my mum would be uncertain as how to describe one to me. So, I asked the question; "Mum, what is a prostitute?". "Err, umm, err...!" Red faces from the front seats - Dad intently staring at the road. "Well, its a woman who sells her body to men" Okay, fair enough; factual if not exactly descriptive.
The devil in me took note of the discomfort that this question elicited. It was about a month later that I asked it again.... and again on the trip down to Cornwall later that summer. My older sister twigged before Mum did... Fun whilst it lasted. Not really on topic - meh
