Media Induced Mating Misconceptions

The following are a short excerpt of various misconceptions one had during the younger years, gained of course through idiot box viewings. (listed according to knowledge growth)

1. Babies came from stalks that carried them in sacks. Have to thank an old Disney cartoon for such info. Well, babies do come from sacks, but a different one I guess.

2. After hearing the term birds and the bees from a talk show, one realized that bees also had a share in such aforementioned delivery services and was intrigued with the word, ‘Pollination’.

3. Babies were some kind of growth that made women fat. An Aliens movie proceeded to place thoughts of cute cuddlies bursting forth from a woman’s stomach, all slimy and with drooling saliva of course.

3b. Men could bare children too since some shared the same proportions as pregnant ladies

4. Watching an arbitrary making out scene made me never want to fall in love, for it seemed, at that time that those who do so would end up eating each other, lips first. Gruesome!

5. Soon, after a bout of staying up late and watching past 12 midnight movies, one found out how babies were REALLY made. Men seem to love pounding their physique on women and naturally, the women always seemed to be in much agony.

It was barbaric and as a little 6 years old child, I was very much afraid of growing up. How could these adults be so cruel as to torture women by deliberately forcing an opening.

Consecutively, it was realized that such an opening existed. But nevertheless, it was still barbaric; torture, alien manifestations and cannibalism, all in the name of producing babies.

I told myself then, that I would never want to have sex, or whatever it is called.
