Sex, Dating and Self-Confidence [Tuesday, Period 2]
"Good morning," Irene called cheerfully as the students filed in today. "First order of business: I have two things to answer from the question box."
With the first slip of paper, Irene only just pulled it a little out of the box, cleared her throat and read aloud, "Oh, question box. I enjoy being inside you so much. Ever since I entered your slit, I've never known such happiness. I hope you enjoy being filled by me. I... wait, no... Don't pull me out! I don't want to leave! QUESTION BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--"
And while Irene did give it her all, there (she was a touch theatrical sometimes), she looked up from the paper there, and pulled it the rest of the way out of the box before setting it aside.
"That's not really a question, is it?" she asked, smiling slightly. "But points for creativity to whoever came up with that one."
She had her guesses.
"Next one: So the last time I had sex I yelled out my own name." Irene's brows lifted slightly, and she glanced out at the class before moving on. "First: How weird is that? Second: How do you come back for that? Any thing I can say or do to appease the old ball and chain?"
Irene sighed, setting the slip of paper aside, and moving the box back to its home by the condom fishbowl. "I think," she said carefully, "that it's not weird, precisely -- I'm not here to judge -- but that you might want to be...conscious of that in the future. I haven't ever heard of anyone doing that before, but I can see how it'd happen if one were especially...distracted? As far as appeasing the...ball and chain." She frowned a little. "Not calling them that might be a fabulous start, I'd think. And then from there -- well, that's our class topic today."
Irene's frown transformed into a slight smile, and she continued talking. "What are the ways we can show someone that we appreciate them, or we're attracted to them? Last week we talked about letting someone know we like them, and I do still endorse just coming out and telling them. But let's say you're not ready for that. Or...let's say you already have bagged that special someone -- how do you continue to let them know you like them? And what's appropriate? What do our biases lead us to believe? Gentlemen, do you feel obligated to pay on dates? Ladies, do you expect flowers? What about those of us in same-sex relationships? If we stay true to gender norms, how do those same biases lead to confusion? Is it time to just throw those ideas out? But what about those of us who do like expressions of affection, regardless of gender? What about blokes who like pretty things? Is that allowed, or would you be weirded out if your boyfriend wanted flowers? And so on."
She held up a finger, adding, "The second thing I want you to consider is where one should set boundaries in a relationship? Is anyone here comfortable with someone going through their browser history? What about their text messages?" Irene's eyes narrowed a bit, since that was a topic...well, near and dear to her heart, a bit. "Where does the line fall between trust, and what we're entitled to know about our significant others' lives outside of us? I'd like you all to discuss, and I'll interject as it seems appropriate -- you all have wonderful ideas of your own, and I want to see where the topics take you."
