People got married and somehow the babies appeared

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.

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.

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

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.

It came together shortly after I saw mom “wrestling” with my uncle

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.

I used to think the baby growing process starts right from day 1 of marriage without doing anything.

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

I just thought when two lovers kiss, the woman would get pregnant. Pretty common.

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.

IIRC, mummy had to go to the shop to buy a seed to put into her tummy
