Sex Ed, Friday, Period Two
As the students entered the classroom this week, they would find much the same arrangement as last week: desks, blackboard, well-built blond teachers. If one of their teachers looked a little embarrassed, well, he covered that with professionalism before class officially started.
“Good morning, everyone,” Steve said to the students. “This week’s topic is very important, and so I’d like for you all to give it your full attention.”
Thor just looked a little bemused, if anything. The procedure at the center of today’s discussion was handled rather differently in Asgard, but he’d been around... certain Midgardians long enough to know it was something very important to their people.
“Today we’re discussing the importance of protective devices!” Thor said, holding up a wooden cylinder about six inches in length in one hand, and a square foil packet in another.
“Yes,” Steve agreed. “Now, honestly, the very best way to avoid disease or unwanted pregnancy is to not have sex, but we’re going to be realistic here. There are a lot of forms of protection you can use, but condoms--” and here he held up a foil packet of his own “--are your best readily available in this world and time period bet to prevent both disease and pregnancy. Guys, you should always use a condom. Ladies, or...other guys, you should always insist your partner uses a condom. If he won’t, don’t have sexual relations with him. Full stop.”
Thor nodded. “If magic is an option for you, then that’s of course a good idea as well, but as Mr. Rogers said, these condoms are accessible to all, and I’m given to understand the clinic in town will supply them if you ask. Now, not all of you may be familiar with how these devices function, and so we shall go over how they work, and then you and a partner will practice putting them on.”
On one of the vaguely-phallic-shaped cylinders like the one he was holding. Just in case anyone was wondering.
“Yes,” Steve agreed. It was funny, this was a lot less awkward when he didn’t have a co-teacher. “So. You open the packet like so,” and he demonstrated for the class, “being careful not to tear the condom, and then...” he trailed off, eyeing the vaguely phallic-shaped wooden cylinder. Which his co-teacher was holding. “Well, Thor will take it from here.”
Thor would apologize, except he hadn’t the faintest idea this was the sort of thing to be awkward about. Opening his own packet, he held up the condom and pinched the tip. “Make sure you pinch it, so that air does not get trapped inside. I’m told this may cause the device to burst, which will defeat its purpose. Once you’ve done that, place it like so,” he said, putting it on the demonstration cylinder, “and roll it down. If you accidentally put the condom on backwards and cannot roll it down, don’t just flip it over and try again,” he warned. “You’ll need to obtain a new one. So it’s best to carry more than one, in case of accidents.”
“Yes,” Steve agreed. “As a quick note, the latex condoms are made out of can degrade over time, which is why there is an expiration date printed on the foil packet, and you should pay attention to it, or the condom could break. If the condom is applied incorrectly, that may also lead to it breaking or slipping off, which would of course not make it a very good barrier at all. Which is why it’s so important to practice applying it correctly, and that’s what you’re going to do now.”
“So find a partner, collect your equipment, and then one of you shall hold on to the model,” Thor waved the wooden cylinder for emphasis, “while the other applies the condom. Then, you’ll switch.”
“Oh, and one more detail,” Thor added, his gaze searching out Tonyif he were there. “Tony Stark, you have been appointed TA for this class. And as there is an additional position available, should anyone desire to fill it, please talk to one of us after class.”
After everyone had a chance to practice their condom-application skills, Thor held up a hand to focus everyone's attention. "There is something else I would like to mention. Once again, I am the faculty advisor for the Pride club, which focuses on the importance of feeling positive about one's sexual identity," it was a bit more nuanced than that, technically, but Thor had never quite grasped certain Midgardian hangups regarding sexual practices and identity. "And so, I urge you all to check it out at the club fair if you feel this is something that would interest you."
[ooc: heads-up that the post isn't particularly NSWF (mmm, double negatives) but DOES contain discussion on proper condom application, in case that's a concern for those who might be reading this in public/at work/out loud as a performance art piece.]
