Sexual Anthropology, Tuesday, 6/23, Period 2
Books were arrayed along the table in the front of the class room today, and a few extra laptops had been brought in and set up for Internet access.
"Good morning," Brennan said, hands firm on her coffee mug. "Today is your last class. You were almost all entirely acceptable, and mostly mature about the topics we were discussing, so I wanted to thank you for that."
It was Brennan. That was high praise.
"Today, I'm turning the class over to all of you for a final assignment. I know there isn't much time for a proper research project, but I would like each of you to pick a topic related to sex or sexuality that we didn't cover in depth in class and make a brief presentation on it. I've brought in resources; Wikipedia is fine if proper primary sources are cited. You may work in pairs, but if you do, I'll expect the work quality be twice as good."
"If none of you have questions, we should probably begin." She clearly didn't expect too many questions.

Re: Presentations [6/23]
"Celibacy means not having sex, basically," Alex presented. "And people seem to do it for a lot of reasons. Religion, focusing energy elsewhere, means of birth control, or just not wanting to have sex. That's not everything but if I listed all of them, we'd be here all day. Some people think that abstinence and celibacy are the same thing but they're not. Abstinence means no intercourse," which was a tragedy, "and celibacy means no sexual activity at all. You wanna make out with someone? You're not celibate."
This whole topic made him want to shudder.
"Personally, we've got the parts for sex so why be celibate? Seems like a waste of a fun time."
