Sex Cultures: 6th Period

"First of all, I would like to thank you all for your wonderful presentations on Tuesday. I was pleased with all of your work."

"For our class today, we're going to study something a little bit different. The course is called Sex Cultures, but there must also, logically, be a state on the opposite side of that spectrum.

So... No-Sex Cultures. Today, we'll take our virgin plunge into the world of chastity, abstinence, celibacy, and asexuality.

Now, I am not going to ask for technical definitions when we discuss these ideas in class because I like my brain unbroken, kthx, as we are going to function using the most base, widely accepted interpretations.

And instead of lecturing you this afternoon, I'm going to give you this handout, and I want you to pick one name save Hamlet wtf and write a quick reaction to their presence on the list. Hand it in before you go. Thank you."


[This assumes that those of you not from Earthly history have, by this point, been exposed to at least the notion and name of like, Jesus, from Christmas, or have at some point heard the name of some of the famous authors or historical figures from a class, or watching TV, or reading a book, or not living entirely under a rock, etc. If your character actually lives under a rock, just have them try to make something up so that they pass. That could be funny. Okay?]

John Harvey Kellogg invented corn flakes. He also thought that masturbation caused acne. He wrote some pretty extreme stuff on the evils of all forms of sex. How do you go from corn flakes to no sex?

Izzie turns in her paper, and wrinkles her nose. She's definitely going to stop eating corn flakes.
