Sex Ed, Monday [4-20] Third Period

[screwyoumarvel]

"Well, this is our last class together," Steve said as he leaned on his desk next to a tray of cupcakes. "This is, in fact, your final exam. You've been a wonderful class this semester, and I hope you've learned something useful. In fact, that's your final. I want you to write an essay on what you've learned in this class. Please, don't be afraid to be honest. Then, you're free to go, or stay and have a cupcake. Or take a cupcake with you. Anything goes. I hope you'll remember to be safe and sane, and that kids are only for teenagers on the weekend after prom." He grinned and said, "Everything away but paper and pens, and your essay-writing time begins...now."

Alice thought for a long moment before she started to write.

From this class, I have learned proper methods of contraception, possible diseases which might be transmitted, and how very serious intimacy is, to share with another person.

From my experiences outside this class, I have also discovered that intimacy is a joyful, exquisite experience -- one that can make otherwise-sensible individuals forget their rationality and omit careful planning.

Knowing both sides, I will be sure, in the future, not to allow myself to be caught unawares. I will make plans for even unlikely situations, and I will remember the seriousness of the consequences at all times.

I thank you for being polite, tactful, and yet informative, even with embarrassing questions we might have asked. And for telling us that there is nothing shameful or wrong with choosing how we will express our connections to one another, if we choose to do so at all.
