NNSE, Monday Morning, Period 1 [Nov 19]
Lulu's eyes raked over the class, amused to see that some of them had been hit by the new Fandom weirdness she'd heard about. After the events of the last week -- wherein she had handwavily spent most of her time in meditations because her mun is an idiot who kept forgetting to do anything with her -- she smiled at the new weirdness worked among the students. Assuming any of the aged students showed up for class.
"Good morning, everyone," she began. "Today we're going to do a little more shuffling of the syllabus. Rather than today's original class, what we're going to do is open the floor. I'd originally intended to give you an opportunity to submit your many questions anonymously ahead of time, but instead I think I'd like to open the floor. Today's assignment is for each of you to ask one question to which you do not know the answer, something which you think might be important to know, but, for whatever reason, you've so far been afraid to ask.
"My reason for doing this is because I have noticed that a number of students have remained... uncomfortable... with a number of the topics that have been discussed in this class. One of my aims in teaching here has been to make students more comfortable with their bodies, and their sexual needs, wants, and desires. Now that you've got a decent grounding in the basics, I'd like to hear more about those personal desires -- while keeping it as respectful as possible. I'd like to encourage discussion today, and if you feel you can answer your classmates' questions, you can certainly attempt to do so." She smiled. "I fact, I'd like to encourage you to do so. The discussion today is going to be open to everyone -- while I'd rather you not shout over each other, you don't need to wait for me to call upon you to contribute. We are all adults here, or near to it, and I trust you all to be respectful of each other as part of this discussion."
[OOC: Comments may -- probably will -- go NSFW due to discussion of sexual topics. I'm experimenting a bit here with the assignment, so here's hoping it all goes OK. ;)Please wait for OCD is up!]

Re: Assignment: Free-for-All [Nov 19]
Sixteen-year-old Rikku would have had a number of questions that she might not have been brave enough to contribute; Rikku at thirty-six was brave enough but couldn't think of anything she didn't know. And might have paused to regret what she was missing because of a stupid business trip.
"Okay," she said, clearing her throat. "Here's one. Why does every teenager think that they're the only person in the world that has sexual urges? Or that those feelings are shameful and wrong? Your body is evolving and you have crazy hormones, but the average teenager would rather die than ever use the word 'masturbate,' much less admit they do it. I don't just mean the morality you're exposed to, it's something ... really nerve-wracking, going on, where you think everyone's going to look at you and judge you for wanting things that your body is pretty much jumping up and down yelling at you to get started on. Why is that?"
She looked over at her old friend and fellow Guardian with a smile. "If that's not an okay question, then how come pregnancy makes you want sex so much? Because it's kinda stupid, biologically. I mean, it's a little late for that."

He shrugged. "But, yeah, I remember the panic. I think that's just life."
