Sex Thru The Ages, 12/8, Period 3

[captaininthree.livejournal.com]

Algren was standing at the front of the class today, eyeing Jim out of the corner of his eye, warily. They were tantalizingly close to the end of the semester, now. And it seemed as though they were getting on into material that had some sort of educational merit, and he couldn't for the life of him figure out if this was all too good to be true, or if he was smiling and nodding and going on with teaching what he could only suppose had to be fact.

Somebody hadn't gotten over the giant ear thing from last class, no.

"Today," he said, looking to the students, "we're going to continue on the topic that we had begun last week, discussing the sexual customs of other, nonhuman races." Races? Species? Algren had no clue, here. "We've arranged for this lesson to come from far more reliable sources than we-" Jim, "-could possibly provide simply from textbooks and notes."

Jim was perfectly knowledgeable! But when you had students who knew more...

You couldn't pass that up.

"So please be polite and courteous to your classmates and don't speak until they've finished with their speechs, alright?"

"That is correct," Spock said. "A Vulcan male left single may be unable to find a new partner prior to a certain deadline--" that he was not going to talk about in any sort of specificity-- "at which time they will go insane, then die."

Karla was kind of bad at picking up subtle signals. "Why? It seems a most inopportune trait to have been bred into a species. Not necessarily detrimental to its survival, but certainly not conducive to growth, either," she said thoughtfully. "What's the deadline?"

Her nod to the delicacy of the topic was NOT bitching about how unfair it was to the female of the party.
