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."

Not so much a talk, as a bookWhen I entered the heady world of becoming a fully fledged woman (with much tears and hysterics if I recall correctly - periods meant 'being a woman' ergo in my mind, my childhood was finished. I still had my cindy dream house to sort out that afternoon!), my mother decided it was time for me to learn the birds and the bees. She decided the best way to do this was to go to the local book shop and buy a small selection.
Now bearing in mind I was about 11 years old at the time, one of the books purchased was 'Sex! How? Why? What? A Teenagers Guide'. Fair enough, thought I. I developed pretty early (in bras in year 5 which was quite devestating!) and so a book aimed for teenagers prob made sense.
Until I got a few chapters in, past puberty, to sex. Chapters dedicated to positions, blow jobs, hand jobs, the whole kit and kaboodle!
As such, I didn't really have many misconceptions, but I was certainly one mentally scarred little girl! The moral of the story - if you're going to use books to teach things to your kids, for gods sake read them first!
My psychiatric team love me :-)
