Dear Readers: Last week we were treated to the childhood sexual misconceptions of my male readers–a shocking number of which involved piss. This week it’s the girls’ turn.

When I was about seven, my older friend Annie told me that the way a man and a woman had sex was that the man put his middle finger inside the woman’s belly button and twisted from side to side. That’s why they called it screwing. This really screwed me up because when I would sit on my dad’s lap he would sometimes rest his hand on my belly and absentmindedly put his finger in my belly button. When another friend told me the truth about sex, I was totally grossed out. I told her that she was lying and proceeded to tell her about belly button sex. –Belly Button Creeps

Growing up I heard the term “screwing” to describe fucking. As I had only ever seen a penis when it was soft and it had looked quite large to me, compared to the small place between my legs where it was to go, I thought it was called screwing because you had to somehow “screw” the penis around and around to get it in there. I spent many hours puzzling over how this would actually be done. Did she rotate on top of him? Did he somehow manage to turn it around and around while staying in one place? Just how did a man manage to screw that big soft thing into such a small tight hole? –Strange Tales of Really Interesting Embarrassing Situations
