A character has received information that is rather inaccurate regarding where babies come from. This occurs in two forms. Type I A character, typically young, or a bit of a ditz if older, worries they are or might be pregnant or that they have or might have gotten someone else pregnant. The only problem is that they haven't actually engaged in sex. Perhaps they failed their biology class (or never took one, or at least haven't gotten to that unit yet) and did not know that what they did could not result in anything more than a salty after-taste. Maybe they were raised very puritanically and think you can get babies from kissing, or maybe they just believe that anything with what sounds like "sex" (like "saxophone") in the title is equally likely to get you pregnant. For comedic effect, it could be a little girl whose parents chose their metaphors poorly during The Talk and thinks you can get pregnant from bee stings or flower pollen. Such a girl is likely to experience a severe case of First Period Panic. Type II A character actually is pregnant or got someone pregnant but is surprised or shocked because they believe they couldn't have because of some Old Wives' Tale (well, more like a Young Maiden's tale; the Old Wives tend to be more knowledgeable in these matters) such as "You're OK if you do it standing up" or "You won't get pregnant your first time" or "Do some jumping jacks and take some aspirin." Sometimes played for comedy, sometimes played for drama, sometimes played for angst, sometimes the Old Wives themselves might show up in the script casting looks of disapproval about her lack of knowledge about one of the most basic points of womanhood. This Old Wife/Miss Conception dynamic could be part of a larger Closer to Earth/Virginity Makes You Stupid comparison. Aside from this angle, guys in this mess don't get much in the way of a Double Standard, but more focus may be made on the fact that they "got a girl in trouble." Not to be confused with But I Can't Be Pregnant!, where there is normally a really good reason they shouldn't get pregnant (vasectomy, hostile uterus, slow sperm, being male), while But We Used a Condom! can be related in two ways: either the users didn't know the basics of how to use a condom, or didn't know about the lack of 100% effectiveness of condoms (although in truth this is normally due to the former). The trope can also be used to justify the Law of Inverse Fertility. Compare Sex Miseducation Class, which is about bad or incompetent sex ed classes at school — the two can overlap if the sex ed class gives straight-up wrong information. Also not to be confused with "Miss X" Pun, though this trope's name is an example. Psychosexual Horror can be paired with this. |

In The Eyes of The Dragon, the somewhat sex-phobic king Roland marries a much younger woman, Sasha; on their wedding night, he undresses and she asks what "that" is. The narration notes that she says it in just the right way to console Roland that she's even less experienced than he is, while a slightly different tone might have sounded mocking and made him self-conscious. | |

The Joy Luck Club has one of the mothers, Lindo, revealing through a backstory that her first husband in China was unable to get her pregnant. While his mother, her mother-in-law, eager for a lot of grandchildren, accuses her of "spilling his seed," it's revealed that it's because they haven't actually had sex. This is because the husband is very young, the bare minimum to be having children, and isn't emotionally ready for it yet. Used further when Lindo uses the fact that the maid is pregnant to say that the maid is the proper wife for her husband: she's carrying their baby. | |

In Shrek the Third, when Shrek learns that his wife Fiona is pregnant, Puss in Boots (rather sarcastically) starts to give him The Talk. Shrek cuts him off, very annoyed, as he doesn't need to be told how it happens. The trope comes in after he walks away; Donkey, who has five children, turns to Puss and asks in all seriousness, "How does it happen?" | |

That '70s Show: Jackie discovers she is pregnant, but she thought you couldn't get pregnant for 8 days after your period. Though, as Donna points out, she's not actually sure whether it's eight days after the first day of the period or eight days after the last day. Subverted in that it turns out she's not actually pregnant anyway. A similar scenario appears in a later season when Kelso gets Brooke pregnant, that uses the "If you do it standing up myth." However, rather than you can't get pregnant, it's that the baby won't be a girl, according to Kelso. Kelso also points out in an early episode that he likes dating Catholic School girls because they haven't had sex ed so they don't know what not to do. |

The first episode of The Vicar of Dibley's third series, where Alice is pregnant with her and husband Hugo Horton's first child, she mentions that she can't be pregnant because "the hamster didn't turn blue". To her credit, the title vicar lampshades it by saying, "I don't think I'm familiar with that particular pregnancy test."note Apparently it's a traditional pregnancy test in Dibley. The woman urinates on a hamster, and if it turns blue she's pregnant. Make of that what you will. | |

The Simpsons: A deleted scene from an episode where Lisa gets a crush on Nelson has her daydreaming about them being married with a baby. Nelson presents it to her and says, "Our love created it somehow." In a Lady and the Tramp parody within the episode "Love, Springfieldian Style", Vamp (a cross of Marge and Lady from Lady and the Tramp), alone with Shady (Homer/Tramp) after a romantic dinner at Luigi's, tells Shady "I am in heat. That's the safe time, right?", to which Shady (presumably despite better knowledge) replies "Oh, the safest!" Predictably, Vamp gets pregnant. |

A rather rare example of the father not understanding how conception works occurs in Ōoku: The Inner Chambers: because his childhood was spent in a Buddhist monastery and the rest of his life in the all male harem, Gyokuei never learned that a woman has a limited amount of time to be able to bear children, hence him pushing his daughter Tsunayoshi into promiscuity to produce an heir to the shogunate - even after she reached menopause. | |

This happens with the main couple of Akkan Baby. As neither Shigeru or Yuki know what birth control is or what condoms are, nor did they learn what they are (their parents, we can guess, didn't tell them), so, unsurprisingly, Shigeru gets pregnant. There's a page where they wonder how to read a pregnancy test. | |

In Freedom's Limits, Smador, a teenage Orc, thinks that human women can only get pregnant when they go into heat, like the Orcesses he grew up around. Therefore, he thinks he and Madavi are in the clear when it comes to unprotected sex. No prizes for guessing what happens. When Smador insists Madavi can't be pregnant because he’d have known if she went into heat, Madavi is confused and explains human women don't do that. | |

King of the Hill: In season 3 episode 14, "The Wedding of Bobby Hill", Bobby and Luanne have an Escalating War of pranks that culminates in Bobby replacing Luanne's birth control pills with candy, and Luanne then tricking him into believing that this alone made her pregnant and that he must now marry her. Hank and Peggy apparently go along with this to teach Bobby a lesson... and then trick Luanne into thinking the marriage is actually legally valid, to teach her a lesson too. They can be quite sneaky sometimes. | |

The Oh Yeah! Cartoons short "Ask Edward: All About Babies" had Edward give his little brother Emo a completely inaccurate account of where babies come from, claiming that parents have to deliver a request form to Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy and that the Delivery Stork has to concentrate in order to lay an egg that will hatch into a baby after it is delivered. Shortly after Edward makes this claim, Emo finds an egg in a tree near their house and ends up believing that the egg is their new little brother. Their mother unintentionally upsets them by cooking the egg for them to eat, then tries to set her boys straight by having their father give them The Talk, only for them to reach the conclusion that eggs will only have babies in them if they've been pollinated by bees. | |

One of the more bizarre examples of this trope in anime is Iyo from Big Order. When introduced to Eiji she warns him not to touch the rabbit ear-like things on her head because she'll get pregnant. Pretty far-fetched, right? Well, a short time later Eiji does just that, by accident, and Iyo immediately develops a huge baby bump and goes into labor. Though it turns out she wasn't actually pregnant; Iyo's power is Divination, meaning the whole mess was a prediction of things to come and not actually happening. However, it does bring up some interesting implications regarding her and Eiji. | |

American Dad!. The episode "Deacon Stan, Jesus Man" played with this. Steve gets caught holding hands with his crush, Betsy, by her parents who tell her "hand-holding leads to kissing which can get you pregnant". Later in the episode, Steve gives Roger CPR and wakes up the next morning pregnant. Roger, being an alien, as well as one of Ambiguous Gender, reveals that his species reproduces through mouth-to-mouth contact, and he accidentally put his spawn into Steve. Later, Steve kisses his crush, Betsy, the daughter of Stan's rival, Chuck White. The next morning he wakes up no longer pregnant. It turns out he transferred the spawn to her, and she's now pregnant (and convinced that kissing is how people normally get pregnant). | |

Parodied and inverted in the Smosh episode "I HAVE A SECRET SON". Ian's ex-girlfriend Antoinette shows up with another man and tells Ian that he got Antoinette pregnant and the man with her is their son. Ian believes her because Ian and Antoinette had held hands (specifically their right hands, because that's how sweat from their excited hands mingles and travels into the woman's body to grow into a baby) on many occasions. Anthony protests, pointing out that their thirteen-year-old "son" looks like a thirty-year-old black man. Ian realizes that he couldn't have possibly gotten Antoinette pregnant because he had always held her left hand, and their "son" reveals that he was Ian's father all along because he had held Antoinette's right hand. Anthony protests that no one can get pregnant by holding hands, and holds up Stevie's right hand to prove it... only to jump cut to a hospital bed, where a pregnant Anthony lies with a pissed-off expression. | |

Apocalypto has a background gag where, just before everything goes to hell, Jaguar Paw's brother is complaining that he still hasn't managed to impregnate his wife, even though they have sex constantly. Fed up with the complaints, his father gives him a "fertility herb" to rub on his privates just before the act. Thirty seconds later, the brother runs out of his tent in pain and dunks his burning genitals in water. His wife follows... and starts drinking water to quench her burning mouth. | |

At least one Darwin Awards Honorable Mention has gone to a young couple who didn't know the proper mechanics and had to have them explained by a fertility doctor. They'd been having plenty of sex, just not the sort that leads to pregnancy. | |

Masters of Sex: In a close variant, Dr. Masters at one point counsels a couple who come to him for infertility treatments that they need to actually have sex in order to have a child: the two are ultra-conservative Christians and apparently thought praying for a child was all it took. | |

Something*Positive. Mike is shocked when Tamara gets pregnant, since "I always pull out before I come!" Cue the rest of the cast yelling at him for his stupidity. Withdrawal is not the worst form of birth control for a couple in a committed relationship, but it's definitely not foolproof, either. | |

In "Rapunzel" as found in the first edition of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, Mother Gothel (the witch) gets wind of the fair prince visiting Rapunzel when Rapunzel wonders why her dress is seemingly getting tighter and tighter around the middle. Obviously, it does not occur to Rapunzel (who has been locked up in a tower from age twelve) that she could be pregnant. This version of events was sanitized by the Grimms from the second edition onwards, where Rapunzel simply blabs out that the prince visits her in a moment of thoughtlessness. | |

A Bit of Fry and Laurie A sketch has Fry as the headmaster of a school and Laurie as Mr. Smear, an ultra-strait-laced parent outraged that his young son had been taught "gutter language" and "lies" about human reproduction in biology class — specifically, that "sexual intercourse can bring about pregnancy in the adult female," which he claims is "nothing more than a disgusting rumor put about by trendy young people in The '60s." The baffled headmaster gently points out that Mr. Smear must have had sex with Mrs. Smear at some point to produce little Michael; Mr. Smear is mortally offended and says that Michael is his son "in the normal way," which, when pressed, he describes as getting married, buying a house and some furniture, and just waiting for a bit, making sure to eat three hot meals a day. Inverted in a sketch with a stuffy father (Fry) asking his son (Laurie) if he was aware of the facts of life before his impending marriage. It turns out that the real process has a lot to do with Tidyman's Carpets. In one of the Vox Pops, a man indignantly reports that he and his wife had their first child on the NHS and had to wait nine months. |

Weekly World News. A story from that escaped into the wild as an Urban Legend: a woman sues the maker of spermicidal jelly after she gets pregnant. Then it turns out that she had used the product by putting it on crackers and eating it. Referenced (but inverted) in an episode of House. A woman comes to him complaining of itching and smelling bad "down there." It turns out she had been using jelly... but not spermicidal jelly, which gave her a bacterial infection. | |

Glee: Finn believes his girlfriend when she claims he got her pregnant when he ejaculated in a hot tub while they were both clothed (and not touching genitalia). In a later episode, Brittany believes she is definitely pregnant. Her boyfriend, Artie, worries because they have had sex. However, the reason Brittany believes she is pregnant is that she saw a stork build a nest outside her window. All was well, for Brittany is a known fool. |

Bridgerton: Prior to her relationship with Simon, Duke of Hastings, Lady Daphne Bridgerton has no idea whatsoever what sex entails. It's he who suggests she try masturbating for the first time. Even when her mother tries to explain things to her on her wedding day, she's so vague that Daphne doesn't learn anything. Ultimately her ladies' maid has to explain things to her properly, several weeks after the ceremony—including that it doesn't work if the male pulls out, as Simon has been doing and lying to her that he's sterile (he's actually exercising a grudge against his abusive father by refusing to continue his line). | |

Catch-22. The doctor shows up with a black eye and explains it came from explaining something to a patient who demanded to know why his wife wasn't pregnant yet, claiming they'd been having sex every night. After some conversation, he got the man to show him with a pair of dolls just what, exactly, they were doing every night. And had to explain as tactfully as possible why that might not be getting her pregnant. (For rather unclear reasons, the husband later came back and hit the doctor in the face.) | |

Almost everybody in Earth's Children does not know about the sex/pregnancy connection. The Clan thinks that every month a totem from a female and a totem from a nearby male will fight, and if the female totem loses, the female will get pregnant. The Others believe the Earth Mother blesses females with babies. Ayla is the only person who connects sex with babies. More justified than, well, pretty much every other unique discovery or technological advancement Ayla is solely responsible for; she's the only female character we meet who's spent a prolonged period totally isolated from male company, or in fact any human or Neanderthal company at all for that matter, and eventually she starts to wonder why she hasn't become pregnant. More specifically, she was brought up by the Clan with the idea that periods are from a woman's totem being injured in fighting, but not having been defeated, and she wonders why she has them still despite not having a man nearby whose totem could fight hers. She also spends more time observing animals than anyone else did, and noticed that all the female animals who gave birth had had sex first. | |

The Thorn Birds: Meggie thinks she's dying because she's been "bleeding from her bottom" once a month for several months. Poor Father Ralph has to explain to her that she's having her period, all the while suppressing his anger at Fee, Meggie's mother, for being so neglectful of her daughter that she's failed to explain this to her. During that same conversation, he asks her if she knows where babies come from and she cheerfully declares, "You wish for them and they grow!". She's in for quite an unpleasant surprise on her wedding night... The movie improves on this slightly by having her know about sex (having grown up on a farm, she's witnessed the animal behavior), but is still shocked at how painful her first experience is. |

The Sandman (1989): In the story arc "A Game of You", Hazel gets pregnant after having sex standing up, though she thought she wouldn't. Somewhat justified in that she's a Butch Lesbian, and hadn't had sex with a man before. | |

South Park: Ms. Choksondik tells the girls in her Sex Ed class that the boy must always wear a condom or else they'll get nasty diseases and/or pregnant. She neglects to inform them that the boy and the girl also have to have sex, so all the girls refuse to associate with the boys at all unless they're wearing condoms at all times. In "Taming Strange", the Canadian Health Control Head believed queefing into a man's face results in having a baby because his wife told him that and he didn't know it was supposed to be sarcastic. |

Good Times. A girl in Penny's 6th grade class is pregnant. When Penny asks Wilona what is wrong with her friend (said friend is hugely showing), Wilona tells her that her friend has stomach mumps and that Penny should not play with her anymore because it's contagious. Florida is upset by this and implores Wilona to have The Talk with Penny so that she won't be misinformed about sex and possibly become pregnant like her friend. | |

Does Not Play Well With Others: As a child, Fran believed that you got pregnant by performing oral sex on a guy, since her mom's over-enthusiastic version of The Talk just left her with the impression that "penises were involved somehow" and she later saw a girl doing the deed on a guy in the woods. She did eventually ask the girl she saw about it, but being told that "that's not how you make babies, moron, that's just how you get a new cell phone" just left her even more confused. | |

In I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job, Fino's father told her that women get pregnant if they sleep in the same room as a man, so she briefly panics and thinks she's pregnant after waking up in Raul's room (she went to his room half asleep in the middle of the night because he has a fan and she was hot) and Raul has to explain to her that she's not pregnant. | |

Girls with Slingshots: Hazel's babysitting charge, Tyler, is approaching adolescence, and she informs his mother it might be time to have The Talk with him. To her shock, Tyler's mom is a hyper-religious Ditz who has no idea how sex works and believes she was divinely impregnated by an angel. Hazel and Jamie then uncomfortably have The Talk with this adult woman. This is at first Played for Laughs, but takes a dark turn when they consider the likelihood that she was impregnated by a charlatan under Questionable Consent. | |

Victoria Wood: As Seen on TV. A gag similar to the "Fry and Laurie" one, (although not taken to the same level of surreality) appears in a Mockumentary set at a hospital interviews a couple who were asking a doctor about having a child. | |

Drawn Together: Conniving bitch Toot convinces Princess Clara she's fallen pregnant because the next thing after True Love's Kiss is children. Clara submits to a tumble or three down the stairs of the "M.C. Escher room" before Foxxy Love explains to her how human biology works. Even worse, Clara had been kissed by another woman. Talk about Virginity Makes You Stupid. | |

Friends. Monica and Chandler are going to adopt from a woman who is still pregnant with the child. They inquire about the father, who she reveals is one of two choices: one golden boy and one jail-hound who murdered his own father with a shovel. They (especially Chandler) worry about the father-murderer choice until Monica discovers that the act she committed with him was not something that could get you pregnant. | |
