NNSE, Monday, Period 1 [9AM-10AM] [Class Five, Oct 1]

"Today's class," Lulu began, from her accustomed place, sitting on the edge of her desk, "begins, truly, to get into some of the more advanced topics that we'll be discussing further after the mid-term break. However, the use of what we are discussing today is such a basic requirement for sex that I decided to include it in basic topics."

She stood, moving to the blackboard where she wrote out the title of today's lecture -- Foreplay: Seriously, Do It. "And I do mean this," she continued. "One of the primary components of healthy sex is a sense of intimacy, whether long or short term, and so if you are having sex, I encourage you strongly to engage in foreplay. You will find that it increases the pleasure for both you and your partner.

"You may ask what foreplay is; put succinctly, it is a series of acts intended to arouse two people towards orgasm, either through foreplay, or after engaging in intercourse." She handed around some information sheets before continuing. "As you can see here, there are a variety of acts that could be considered foreplay; in fact, some of them, such as oral sex, are commonly considered to be a form of sex in and of themselves, as opposed to merely a precursor to intercourse. Performing these acts without going 'all the way,' as it is sometimes called, is a form of sex, and as such I don't encourage you to practice this until you feel that you are emotionally ready."

She paused for a moment. "In light of last week's lecture on safer sex, I would like to underline something today: while the risk of pregnancy with foreplay is understandably minimal, there is, in any instance where fluids are transmitted from one person to another, the risk of the accompanying transmission of infection. As such, barriers such as condoms or dental dams," and she gestured to the basket she'd had the previous week, which now held the latter as well as the former, "should be used as necessary.

"Are there any questions?" After answering the questions if there are any, Lulu continued, "All right, then. Next week, we are having our first test in the class, on all of the topics so far. What I would like you to do today is to get into groups of three and discuss the class to date, helping each other with areas in which you having difficulty. Remember, this is to be a safe, supportive environment. I will be watching and listening, and will step in if I feel it to be necessary."


[NWS, as Lulu's lectures always are, for frank discussions of sexual topics. Please wait for OCD is up!]

Chat, flail, die of shame, as you do.

Head meet desk. He was just going to stay like that until he could get the blush gone.

Marco had no reason to be head-desky, he was just sleepy.

Turtle, who also was free of the urge to headdesk, was taking very no-nonsense notes as per usual, making sure to underline and capitalize the word sex whenever it came up to see if the excessively underlined and capitalized sexes would make Charlie get flaily when she shared the notes.

Anemone was taking detailed notes, and checking off some items and underlining the ideas she was unfamiliar with. Miss Lulu was awesome.

Jack was going down. The list, that is, checking things off that he'd done, and circling things that he should try.

River listened, somewhat distracted, drawing complicated patterns in her notebook.

Inara was very impressed by the quality and matter-of-factness of the lecture, and nodded along in agreement at times.

Ino? Ino was wishing like hell that she'd skipped class today because this was like the worst topic ever after what had happened on the weekend.

Since she was present for it though, Ino put her head down on her arms and concentrated on not dying of mortification.

Rikku wondered if she could possibly hide under her desk.

Not because of the topic. Because of her weekend as a ... high-priced ...

This was so bad.

Sokka was bright red. And kind of shaking. And hyperventilating. And taking lots and lots of notes.

Yep. Dying of Shame. As you do.
