Sex Cultures: 6th Period
"Welcome to class, please consult the roster to confirm your enrollment and take a seat.
My name is Dr. Grissom, and this is Special Topics: Sex Cultures.
Now, I am going to clarify right away what this class is, and is not. It is NOT a Sexual Education course. If you do not know the basic mechanics of intercourse,ask Cally to borrow the book she got for Christmas I suggest... doing your own research on the topic as you see fit.
While this class will not study sex as a biological function, it will study its cultural function. We will be discussing issues of sexuality, gender, and some sexual activities and social groups that may be offensive to some. If you think you will have a problem maintaining professionalism in this class, or respecting your fellow students and their backgrounds and beliefs, I will eagerly sign a Drop Form for you today.
Now, moving on, I'd like to take this class period and have you all introduce yourselves. Also, I'd like to hear why you enrolled in this class. And be honest. I think you'll be surprisedthat you can't blow my mind, no matter how hard you try by the level of acceptance you will receive from your classmates and instructor, and we should not waste time with false information."
Homework: Although this is not a Sex Ed course, I feel that it is prudent for us to spend the first real class period understanding Safe Sex. I would like you to take a quiz before Thursday, and although I won't ask you for your results, I want you to think about why you believe you scored the way you did. We'll be discussing some of the social implications of Safe Sex, on young people in particular.
