The condom of torture, iin?

When, I was about 7 or 9 years old, I had a very odd and limited understanding of sex. The misunderstanding was mostly due to my family "sheltering" me and failing to properly teach me the facts of life. As a result, I wrongly envisioned what a condom looked like. To me, it was a it was a hard black plastic device with striped cut outs going down it. At the base it was hard and flat and inside it there was a small spike. The small spike was supposed to be inserted into the man's penis opening and it would cause him great amounts of pain. This entire device would be attached to a "harness". There would be openings for the legs and a hook to secure the "condom". I would often fantasize about a man putting this on and being in great amounts of pain. Whenever, I heard people mention condoms I would be happy that the man was in pain and I felt that he deserved it for being "irresponsible". I continued to believe this until I was in my early or mid teens. I was crushed when I found out that I had been wrong.

I'm now much older and looking back on my past concept, I am very embarrassed at my faulty logic. This is the first time I'm telling someone this except for the time that I told my mother. Why I told her I'll never know. She was horrified and baffled. She told me that she never wanted to hear that again. When I really think about this, I'm immediately reminded of BDSM.... I'm not trolling. Is it normal?!

    I saw a used condom when I was 7 and asked my dad what it was. He said it was to stop you "going" which I took to mean peeing. From then on, I thought you put on one in a business meeting and then you could pee into it and inflate it like a balloon without having to interrupt the meeting with a toilet break.

            Weeeee! Hmm, quite literally, as it happens. :D At least your kind attacker aimed no higher than the waist.

            Hmm, "kindness" is subjective. :)

      Too late. There are metal chastity tubes and cages that can be locked on a man's penis so he cannot get sex or masturbate. Some have metal spikes on the inside so if he gets a stiffy it is very painful so he cannot even have dirty thoughts. Some dominate wives apparantly lock their husbands in these for months at a time. I came across an advert on the web and showed it to my boyfriend LOL. He says that any man who lets himself be locked in one deserves to be locked in it forever.

    kids always have their own mental images of things like that.

    i use to think that women just shoved small cups up inside them to prevent the sperm from getting anywhere. although the diaphragm was a rather popular birth control option when i was growing up too

    Obviously it's normal to not know what condoms are if you've never seen one or had them explained, but how on earth did you arrive at that nightmare interpretation of them?

    I didn't know what sex was until 16, learned it in health class. As a kid, and early teen, I thought that everyone had the same "stuff" down there. I remember that all of my friends would talk about sex and I just nodded whenever they looked at me. I was sheltered as well, and I believe it is normal to have a sort of flawed view of sex as a kid.

    When I was in kindergarten, I remember older kids saying the word 'ass', like,"get ur 'ass' in ur seat", etc. I just assumed my 'ass' was my vagina all the way up til the 6th grade, when my friends were talking about synonyms for butt, and they said ass and I argued that 'ass' mmeant vagina, and I got laughed at and realized my mistake..

      I would have never let you live that down. If I knew you I'd still make fun of you for that. ;D

    Not normal but some how you grew past that horrible definition into a regular well adjust adult (I'm assuming) Good for you!

    na, it's not normal. what you describe sounds like a torture/chastity belt item for more serious BDSM.

    How you were thinking something like that up with, like, 8 years of age, is kind of puzzling to me.

    Don't get me wrong, it's not so far out there that other factors have to play a role, but it's definitely unlikely enough to consider not normal :)

      I wasn't sexually abused, if that's what you're thinking.
      My understanding of the BDSM culture was very limited. I can remember at least two events where my mother brought up BDSM. One was very traumatic where in which she accused me of being a masochist, because I "enjoyed" picking my fingers. Oh, the horrible things she said to me... I feel like crying now:'( and the other I can't remember if it happened during the aforementioned event, but she proceeded to tell me about the BDSM world. When I look back on it now with the proper information, I realize that everything she told me was a load of bullshit...

      When I was young, I had a lot of "kinky" and "disturbing" when came to subjects like that. I don't know where they came from or what to think of it. In regards to the "Condom of Torture", the only thing I can think of was that I was a dominatrix in a past life;)

        Children can have quite gruesome "torture" ideas and I think your type of thoughts are much more common than people think or they admit. Your mother's ignorance has given you unneccessary guilt. Stop worrying about it.
