Seven Deadly Sins, Period #5, 7/31 [Lust]

Callie looked the same as ever this week, except that she was doing her best to seem apologetic. "I am so sorry about that terrible class last week," she said. "Needless to say, I was suffering from a rather cruel curse that made me into little more than a puppet."

Callie hadn't been Imperio'd. Ever. She was a demon. She had joined Team Evil free and clear.

"I think we've all suffered a great deal, and I hope we can heal those rifts and move on as quickly as possible. I think the best way to do that would be to just act like last week never happened."

She would sell all of you out for a pile of Tic-Tacs. Any flavor.

"Today we're talking about my favorite sin: lust. Lust is desire run rampant. Technically speaking, this can refer to a desire for power, or money, or anything else you can imagine, but it's usually about sex.

"For those of you living under a rock, sex is a biological imperative to mate and pop out annoying rugrats whom you will give disgustingly cutesy names that have too many Ys in them. Congratulations, you've furthered the species. So what's the big deal?"

Callie leaned back against her desk. "Some species mate because they're in heat." Ugh, and let her tell you: being in heat sucked. "But humans don't go into heat. They have sex because they like it. It happens to feel amazing. Couples use it for emotional closeness. Men will pay complete strangers for it. Your hormones spur you on to breed whether or not you actually want to.

"So things like birth control? Wonderful. Now you can be responsible. Now you can engage in pleasurable activities without spawning twenty-five kids you can't possibly afford to raise. That's good, right? No, that would be way too easy. Some religions are against birth control. If sex is an urge to mate, then they believe you should be in a situation where you're actively trying to produce a child, or at least not preventing it. In other words, roll the dice and hope they don't come up 'Junior.'"

She flipped a hand. "So let's say you've decided not to indulge your biological imperative. You don't want to risk children, you aren't ready for all the possible consequences, blah blah blah. Fine! There are plenty of ways you can satisfy those needs by your own self." She raised a hand here and wiggled her fingers. "If you don't know what I'm talking about, look it up. By the way, that's a sin, too. Exploring your body and taking care of your physiological desires, that's seen as wasteful, and not a practical solution to an obvious problem.

"Not all sects follow the same restrictions; by comparison, some are downright lax. But most of them still want you to keep sex inside of a monogamous long-term relationship, if not a marriage. Now is a good time to point out that the adolescence -- which brings about all those desires -- starts around age 13 or 14, whereas the average age for marriage in this country is 25. Have fun ignoring all those screeching hormones for a decade.

"There's no assignment this week, for what I hope are obvious reasons. Instead, let's talk about sex."

Terry got back to Fandom late last night and couldn't help but feel like he missed something important during his week away.

He couldn't help but be a little distracted from that by today's topic, though. Teenage boy.

"If you want to sleep with a compatible person who wants to sleep with you, I don't see why not," Atton said, shrugging lightly. "Doesn't need to get more complicated than that."

He just wished his personal age politics weren't so damned complicated right now so he could actually get laid with someone compatible.

Ah, here was an area where Victor's spiritual programming, his logical programming, and the realities of being a teenage boy who had hooked up with Nico "sometimes I kiss people when I'm stressed out" Minoru all crashed into a muddle.

"I don't think you need to be married, but I do think you should be serious about the other person," he finally said. "Otherwise you're just kind of using your body and the other person's. It might feel good, but it's going to hurt somebody in the end."

He fidgeted. "I don't exactly have that problem with blow-up dolls or porn or whatever, but it's ... pretty gross."

"I don't have a problem with it. I mean, if you're committed to someone and it's not an open relationship, you shouldn't really give into it with other people," Terry said, and he wasn't a hypocrite when saying that because he knew it was wrong when he cheated on Dana. Twice. With the same girl. Who was a supervillain. And he never told Dana to this day. And had a mutual friend also not tell her. See? See how wrong he knew it was?

"But otherwise, as long as it's not hurting anyone, I don't see a problem with any of that."

Bucky was kind of upset that there weren't too many students who were his type. "Hey, any of you pinkish losers have a female cat around? 'Cause I am so all up on that!"

...Not that he'd be able to really DO anything about it, since he'd had his gonads removed years ago, but he'd be all up on her, at least.
