Sex Ed, Monday [1-26] Third Period

[screwyoumarvel]

Today a large poster was displayed at the front of the classroom. "I would just like to start by saying I had nothing to do with the creation of this poster," Steve said, looking faintly embarrassed about it. "But it has an important message. You can't always tell by looking at someone whether they have a venereal disease or not. They may not even know it. That's why protection is so important, and why abstinence is the only really effective way of preventing the spread of disease. Today we're going to have a little exercise to demonstrate this.

"You have the rest of the class period free to mingle and eat these cookies I brought. There is only one requirement: you must shake hands with anyone you talk to. And there is a catch. One of you is--hypothetically, of course--carrying a disease, which is transferred by the shaking of hands. I will tell you who at the end of the period. But don't worry about that for now. Chat. Enjoy the cookies."

"One could possibly spread a particularly bad cold, by hugging," Alice mused. "Hugging someone with a cold might be more hazardous to one's health than sex with someone who hasn't anything at all."

She still couldn't quite say 'sex' without blushing. But it was a marked improvement, and only the faintest hint of color on her cheeks.

"But the point of the exercise is how you can't know for sure if someone has an STD or not, nothing to do with colds."

"We should have our own counterlesson," Alice suggested. "That colds are much more easily identifiable, and very annoying, so while you are avoiding the things that poster speaks of, do remember not to hug anyone with a cold. Unless they're terribly distraught and you're willing to take the risk."

"Figure out how to put all that into a catchy slogan, and we just might have a campaign."
