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 didn’t think about it pretty much before learning about sex.
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
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
Not sure if this breaks the rule but I didn’t see any rule against nsfw questions
Women became pregnant simply because they loved a man and were loved back for a long time.
It came together shortly after I saw mom “wrestling” with my uncle
It grows in mummy’s tummy. Some say daddy puts it there but I don’t see a practical way to do that so I’m discounting it. I’ve been burned before with that Santa nonsense so I’m not falling for bullshit a second time.
My folks never skipped the technical stuff, they just simplified it way down. So my earliest recollection is still knowing that the boy puts his penis in the girls vagina, and that’s how they become mommies and daddies after 9 months, because that’s how long it takes the baby to grow inside. While it all sounds silly now, sometimes people change their minds after they grow up, because making a baby with someone special and starting a family can be a fun and exciting thing.
Or something along those lines anyway, I obviously wouldn’t have explained it quite as competently back then. But that’s the gist.
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
What culture? Never heard of milk-related marriages
“Milk”
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.
I just thought when two lovers kiss, the woman would get pregnant. Pretty common.
For a while I thought it was just someone touching someome because of some really badly made primary school sex education film that really didn’t talk about sex at all
lol
Was that the one with the cats?
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.
back in my youngest day, there’s a place named mall and supermarket, where parents go and get a baby for them. nowadays, parents order babies on their smartphones and deliver by delivery service.
Well, I saw pregnant women, how the baby got there was a complete mystery. Right before puberty, there were wild speculations about what boys and girls do for the girls to become pregnant.
