I learned all this valuable information back in the 1950’s with absolutely no sex education!
Probably until about the time I started school, I thought when people wanted a baby, they went to the hospital and picked one out from a collection there. Those that were not chosen grew up to be doctors and nurses. The sex of the baby was determined by the way the parents dressed it and fixed its hair.
After I noticed pregnancies, I drew some conclusions. The unborn baby breathes through the mother’s naval. If she submerges, it will suffocate.
Before I found out about sex, I thought women had babies because they had breasts, sort of like, “which came first, the chicken or the egg?”
When a friend enlightened me on the “facts of life,” I didn’t believe her. I told “That’s stupid! Nobody would do THAT!”

I think your childhood imagination was precious and original! I recall having a pop-up book before kindergarten. (sounds naughtier than it was) I think my parents were trying for another then…
Plus, my mother was a nature freak, so I learned a great deal about mating from the birds and the bees and the turtles and the dogs, and well, you get it.

My sex education in the fifties came from other kids on the playground. Some “world wise” other boys would try to trick the naive, by giving misinformation on how humans did it. One such young man, when I was in kindergarten, passed down this gem. “Women’s breasts were filled with snakes, scorpions, and creepy-crawlies.”

I’m with you with all of these except the doctors and nurses bit. I was 12, when someone at school told me about how babies are made. I thought, as well, that’s nuts. No-one would do that! They used a four-letter word which made it all the more gross. ^^’

In Mom’s own words, you have babies when you “sleep with a boy”. At the time, I was relieved to only have sisters.

Somebody told me a girl could get pregnant from sleeping with a girl on her period, I found out after I was at a girl’ house I was in danger. I was worried to death.

Ah..menses. On a particularly constipated day, I was sure I had that one figured out, sharing with all who’d listen. No one corrected me. Anatomy 101 came much later,from a girl scout film.

Betty, you were lucky… because I was quite dumb, my parents didn’t explain me anything and even less in the school, in those years In Spain we had a dictadure and everything was forbidden, women had to be kind of maids for the husband and NOTHING else. So kids grew up… and don’t know how!!! Hahahaha
