Sex, Dating and Self-Confidence [Tuesday, Period 2]

"Morning," Irene greeted the class, today standing at the front of the classroom. Around the room, amongst the desks, she'd set up some stations, and then promptly covered them with drop cloths, because she was a drama queen like that. "Today, we're going to talk about what you all came here for -- or, well, the bit you were all expecting, at least: sex."


"I'm not going to embarrass you by spending too much time on the basics, as I imagine that by this stage in your life, you all largely know the biology," Irene continued, crossing her hands behind her back. "But just in case you don't know, the basic, purely biological reason for sex is procreation." She plucked up a stack of handouts, passing them out as she continued to go over the more basic information about the reproductive system.

"Now, that's the basic, original function," Irene said, when she'd gone over the entirety of the handout. "But we're evolved creatures, humans. We can think beyond using our naughty bits for function, and might be driven to use them for pleasure -- I would wager that most people your age generally aren't aiming to produce offspring when canoodling with one's similarly-teenaged partner."

Irene hadn't really caught up on her cable TV, lately, no.

"We express our attraction through other means. You might buy the girl you like flowers, rather than trying to mount her in the hallway. You text the boy you like something flirty, rather than presenting yourself for mating at his doorway." Irene smiled serenely out at the group, shrugging slightly. "Yes, our bodies might produce inconvenient biological reactions when we're attracted to someone, certainly, but we're not ruled by our hormones. So while this," she flapped the handout, "is very, very handy information to have, it's also not the be-all and end-all of your education. So, first order of business in my book? Is safety."

She circled the room, pulling the drop cloths off her tables as she did so. "I have here three stations, with several methods of contraceptives -- which are a must if you're having heterosexual intercourse -- as well as some safe-sex paraphernalia that everyone should use, regardless. Take this class period to explore them, and at the end, if you have any questions or observations, we'll talk about them. We'll be talking more in-depth about sexually transmitted disease and how one might get them -- for now, just think of them generally, as something we must guard against, and which could conceivably lurk in every tempting orifice of a potential partner's body." Well, that was a gross way to put it, but rather to the point. "Again, this is a safe and respectful place, and I know you'll all be on your best behavior with one another, right?"

She raised an eyebrow, looking fairly stern, for her. At least, until the sudden deluge ice water over her head. That rather ruined the effect.

Irene let out a small shriek, perfectly still and rigid, then wiped water off with a few flicks, blinking at the class. "...right. We'll reconvene at the end of class. I'm going to find some...paper towel or something."

Ugh.

Okay, if his hot teacher was going to get drenched, maybe this ice water thing wasn't so--

Splash.

Okay, he probably deserved that. At least he was wearing impact clothes today, so he could flame on when he had a moment to step into the hall to help him dry off.

After stepping out into the hall to dry off, Johnny was ready for learning. By which he meant taking several condoms. And then several more. Look, he wasn't having a bunch of sex right this moment, but it paid to be prepared.

Johnny stared at the ring and the IUD. He read the packets. He thought about his experience with lady parts. He stared at the ring and the IUD.

He still didn't have a good idea of how they worked. Like, physically, how women could just go on with their lives with that stuff up there.

He decided that he would just use condoms and leave the lady's part to the lady.

Johnny's main takeaway from this table was that he would never think of the dentist the same again.

Johnny raised his hand because he was still stuck on one thought.

"Where do you even get a dental dam? Can you get that at, like, Wal-Mart? Or a sex shop? Or do you have to go to, like, a special dentist store? I bet they know you're not a dentist if you buy one there. They just know it."

Gwen maybe was going to put her head down on the desk for a second so he wouldn't see her laughing.

She had extra clothes in her backpack after yesterday. She was prepared for karma that never came.

Gwen took a couple. She really doubted she'd need them before the expiration date, but it never hurt to be prepared, right? She was more interested in looking at the different kinds there were, anyway.

"Is that glow-in-the-dark?"

And more giggles from over in Kathy's seat. Admittedly, part of that was just tension-laughter, as she turned increasingly red during the lecture.

JOHNNY WAS GLARING AT YOU, GWEN. GLARING SO HARD.

Some of these things seemed a little too complicated to Gwen. And if you were wondering where her "Oh my god no" came from, that would be where she read the part about IUD's having an expulsion rate.

Did Johnny subtly flex a little now that his shirt was clinging to him? Maybe. And Kathy was just going to have to deal with that until he could dry off.

Kathy hemmed and hawed over whether she should take some or not. On the one hand, she doubted she'd need any. And the idea of taking some and being seen taking some and people thinking she was taking them for her own use was mortifying. On the other hand, she could probably hand a bunch of them out as Banzai to people leaving the bars and that could be a real life saver.

...After much indecision, Kathy decided to suck it up and take a handful. Being a superhero was hard, but sacrifices had to be made for the greater good.

Well. Dental dams looked possibly seriously wrong and the dentist was ruined forever.
