Dating, Hooking Up and Sex, Class 7, Friday period 3

Dean was leaning against the desk at the front of the room as the class filed in. On the table behind him was an assortment of pies and drinks.

"So," he began, "today we're talking about the when Fandom weirdness can work for you. And when it does, it can give you some experiences you'll never forget.

"Like we discussed last week, Fandom weirdness can, more often than not, throw a monkey wrench -- or a yak brush -- into your social plans. But sometimes, it's just the opposite. Just to give you a couple of examples, every now and then around here you can wake up the opposite gender. And yeah, you're probably going to freak out when that happens the first time, but really, think of it as an opportunity to walk in another's shoes. You don't need to take it as far as I did -- I mean, how many guys can say they've had a lesbian threesome, when they were one of the particpants? -- but at the very least think about taking the new model out for a solo test drive. It's an experience that most people don't even get a chance at.

"You got a taste of another example a few weeks ago -- and yes, that's where the title of this class in the syllabus came from. My Baby is hot whether she's a '67 impala or a girl. And I'll be always grateful to Fandom and its weirdness for the chance to actually talk to her and have her talk back." He grinned widely. "The amazing sex was just a nice bonus.

"The point I'm trying to make here is that weirdness is going to happen when you're here. Take that for granted. And yeah, you're going to flail and freak out about it when it does, that's just the normal reaction. But... try to keep an open mind. Try to look at the things that happen as opportunities -- what can you get out of them that you'd never normally have a chance at experiencing? You do that and you'll find that the weirdness becomes less weird and more of an adventure. And in that way it's a lot like the whole sex-dating-hooking up thing.

"Speaking of adventure, I can't wait to see what everyone came up with for your sextoy assignment. How about we go around the room and see, starting with you?" He pointed at someone at random.

When everyone had presented their assignments, Dean looked around at everybody. "So this is our last class. I'm not clueless -- I know there's been a lot of you who've been embarrassed at least part of the time. I hope that maybe you're a little less embarrassed now than you were first class. And whether you're having weekly orgies swinging from the chandelier or you're saving yourself until you feel ready, you should never, ever feel ashamed. Everyone's different and everyone is going to move at their own speed and have their own limits. Respect yours and everyone else's and you'll all do fine.

"I was hoping you'd do me a favour. I'd like to find out how I did from the people who matter the most -- you guys. So I was hoping you'd each tell me first, one reason you're glad you took this class, something you learned, or changed your mind about or whatever. And also, one thing you didn't like, that you think I should change for next term."

Dean gestured at the pie and softdrinks. "And I'm not above bribery. To celebrate us all making it through, there's drinks and the best food in the world -- pie. Help yourself."

Raven squirmed uncomfortably at the lecture. Fandom weirdness was why she'd first kissed Karla, who she was definitely not looking at.

It had also made her wear pants. The horror.

Ariel absolutely could not pay attention in class today. She maybe caught about every fifth word Dean had said, but, could you blame her? It was really difficult to think about how Fandom weirdness could work for you when you probably weren't going to be in Fandom at all in a matter of days.

She glanced a bit toward a window.

If not hours...

Raven turned bright red when it was her turn. "I did not complete the homework assignment," she said. First time ever. "I have no use for such things."

"I have studied such things at Lady Aphrodite's store, but I find them...." Confusing. Somewhat frightening. "...cold and lifeless," Raven said. Plus her gifts would be much better at enhancing pleasure, but she wasn't bringing that up.

"I...do not know," Raven said, blushing more. "I do not have much experience with such things." Her eyes darted toward Chuck and back again before she even realized she'd done it.

"I feel good when I heal someone," Raven said, trying to follow his line of reasoning. "And when those around me feel good."

Black Widows weren't ashamed or embarrassed about sex. Sex was a normal, natural function and important for healthy adult relationships. Karla, as a Black Widow, was therefore unashamed and unembarrassed about this assignment.

Really.

Shut up.

"My purchased toy NSFW link is a wireless butterfly." She held it up, still unopened in its original packaging. Karla didn't want anyone getting any ideas about...anything. "It's a vibrator and can be used by one person alone or by two people as a form of foreplay. In fact, it being wireless means that the person controlling the remote doesn't even have to be in close proximity."

Figuring that was more than enough, Karla set it down and held up her hands for her next assignment. "I'm not sure if this counts, exactly, but something that may fall under the heading of both 'sex toy' and 'Fandom weird' is the use of powers. For example, anyone who is capable of communicating psychically can increase pleasure by sharing the sensations that they are feeling, or by sharing images, thoughts, or emotions."

And now Karla was going to sit down and convince herself that she wasn't blushing, it was just really, really hot in here. Especially around her face.

Ariel had actually forgotten about the assignment; she sort of had a lot on her mind lately and had been too busy trying to make sure she got the most out of her time here.

Thankfully, though, she had a bunch of seashells randomly in her pocket, and some string, and a fork, of course. Also another shuttlecock. So while Dean was looking at everyone else's work, she quickly threw them all together in an amalgamation of something that could be very sexy...

...if requiring a bit of imagination. Still, when it came to presenting it, she grinned and waggled her eyes as if she knew exactly what it could be used for, oh yes.

Cloud presented the..eh, boy's toy. Properly packed and everything.

"This is a male vibrator. Apparently it's hygienic, can last a lifetime and it's pocket sized." And he almost got it as a gift. But that wasn't the point. "It looks like something...moderately useful if one needs to...have some, but..., can't find a woman at the moment." Or man, sure, but Cloud wasn't about to name all the things someone would be lacking to use the damn thing.

"About the other one, I'm not so sure." Honest to a fault, that was him.

Why was he glad? "I would guess...it's refreshing to see someone talking so freely about this kind of things." It sounded like a good reason, and it was true, so there.

"I can't find anything I would change", added, because, really, he had no idea.

Chuck was not eating pie, no, but he wasn't completely zoned out like he usually was during these things. This was most likely the last time he'd be sitting in one of these classrooms and he was feeling all nostalgic and crap. Awww.
