NNSE, Monday, Period 1 [Class 4, Sept. 23]

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen," Lulu began, smiling. "I'd like to start off our class today by announcing a small change to the syllabus: at the present time, all of the scheduled classes are remaining the same, but the order in which they will occur has changed. The class on sexual safety has been moved to today, pushing the class on foreplay until next week; it will be followed by a small examination, covering the classes to date, and then after the mid-term break we will begin discussing sex with partners.

"Today's lecture," she continued, turning now to the subject at hand, "will cover two forms of sexual safety. One has the intention of controlling -- or preventing -- conception, while the other has the intention of protecting oneself from infections that can be transmitted sexually." She went on to discuss birth control, first discussing how various methods had been used historically, and then discussing some of the more modern methods -- with particular focus on barrier methods, especially condoms.

"The reason I put the emphasis on condoms," Lulu continued, "is because not only are they one of the more effective -- although, as I said, not the most -- methods of birth control, they're one of the few methods that also act as a barrier against infection. Unfortunately, they're not perfect; condoms need to be used properly to provide the most effective protection against both pregnancy and infection, and even then do have something of a failure rate. Still, they do provide excellent protection, especially in cases where no other precautions have been taken, and are the most effective method of preventing infection other than abstinence, or performing only sexual acts that involve minimal contact and no penetration.

"What I'd like for you to do today is to pair up and discuss the various methods of birth control that are available, as I discussed; also, if there are other methods available that you are familiar with, such as methods available in other worlds worlds, feel free to discuss those as well, especially in comparison to the methods I've brought up."

During the Lecture

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

Chat, flail, blush, stammer, stare, or ogle. Or any combination or permutation of the above.

River took notes. She didn't have much experience with this, and while she was familiar with the methods available in her time this gave a better overview.

Turtle is taking careful, no-nonsense notes. And not at all worried that she's finding this lecture more interesting from a business perspective than anything else.

Jack took notes. He didn't want to end up with VD!

Notes. Taking notes. Not looking up from her paper. Notes.

Being mostly distracted by his thoughts, Gavin didn't do much blushing this time. He did, however, spend an inordinate amount of time tapping his pen against his desk and looking around the class.

Katara was writing notes. And definitely not blushing. Except for the part where she was bright, bright red.

This was something new to him, so Haku made sure to take detailed notes.

Anemone was busy taking notes, since some of these methods seemed a bit different than was available at home.

Marco wondered why there were no bananas.

Inara might have been looking a bit horrified as she listened to the lecture. It all sounded so primitive.

Ino was busy scribbling down everything Miss Lulu said, since what she'd had covered by her Academy classes was a bit different.

Notes. Taking notes. Eyes on the notes. Yes.

Ron spent most of the lecture blushing furiously.

It still didn't stop him from grabbing from the bowl of condoms when he left class.

Assignment: Discussion of Birth Control

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

Pair up and discuss the benefits and disadvantages of one of the methods discussed, or another method of which you are aware. If you have a different method in your homeworld, something that's not listed here, then try comparing it to what information is available here.

River looked around for someone to discuss with, finding the subject interesting.

Jack looked around. He was not blushing. He was not. Really.

Marco wasn't considering a nap, really.

Gavin looked around for a partner...by staring at his desk.

Re: Assignment: Discussion of Birth Control

[intraspective]

Ino looked around, blushing faintly at the thought of having to actually talk about this sort of thing.

Poke the TA

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

When she is here with the pinging!

Re: Poke the TA

Rikku was here. She wasn't eyeing that basket of condoms in the least. Why would you think that?

Speak to Lulu

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

She's around after class. And has a basket of condoms.

Re: Speak to Lulu

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River looked into the basket of condoms and tried to see how many different colours there were.

OOC

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

These classes are a little bit too much fun to write. :D
