Childhood Misconceptions


Recommended Posts

Since I was little I knew girls sat on the toilet to pee but I wondered how they could pee outdoors and what it would look like. I used to think they stood with their legs spread but I wasn't sure how that would work without stripping from the waist down (it also didn't occur to me for a while that skirts could be lifted up for peeing). In high school a boy my age who seemed to know what he was talking about mentioned a girl pulling down her pants to pee outdoors, which made me think a lot about how things operated. Near graduation I read a sample sentence in an English book about a girl squatting and peeing so that told me something. For years I held off searching the Internet for peeing girls because I was afraid of seeing porn. I was in my 20s before I had a clear picture of female urination.

"I used to think girls were bad at holding their pee, so that's why they wore pads, tampons, etc. Thought that they were just adult diapers that were designed to be easily conceived so that it wasn't embarassing for them."

I talked to numerous women who said that they do use pads for that purpose but I always like those were designed to catch leaks not a flood!

 I thought all boys would start wetting their beds in their teens. I had heard of nocturnal ejaculation but misunderstood what it was all about. I was so disappointed when someone told me i got it all wrong! 😆

I had a similar thought, when I first heard about "wet dreams" I then became a bit obsessive about making sure I'd peed out every last drop before bed for fear of this happening to me. Of course when I had my first actual nocturnal ejaculation I realised what the difference was...

When I was little, me and some of the neighbor kids would go to the park behind our apartment complex and play, and I would notice the boys going to the bathroom behind a tree or bush or the side of the building or whatever. My best friend had a little brother so I'd already learned from her about how boys pee standing, but my misconception was that they had smaller bladders than us or couldn't hold it as long as girls can because they couldn't wait til they got home and would just go outside, whereas we'd hold it til we got to one of our homes.

Nope just more convenient for them to go. They can do so easily so they do, we can't so get stuck holding. But I definitely noticed that difference A LOT when I was younger.
