Sexual Safety [period 2, Friday]

"Good morning!" Irene was dressed rather differently than usual today -- she'd pulled her hair up into a high ponytail, and was wearing a pair of sleek yoga leggings. This probably had something to do, if you were a guessing sort of student, with the ten or so yoga mats laid out on the floor. There were comfy sweats and a dressing screen at the back of the room as well, for anyone who hadn't had the foresight to somehow know to wear flexible clothes to class.

"One of the most embarrassing things to deal with," Irene said, "is a sexual injury. Let me say first and foremost that if you aren't sure if something will fit somewhere, or if it will be easily extracted once it is in, don't put it in there. But, if you do anyway, don't be too afraid to go to the hospital and to be honest with your medical professionals -- they've seen it all, and they need to know what happened in order to help."

She clapped her hands together briskly, continuing, "However, if you're not being adventurous with your orifices -- and again, if you want to, please do some Googling first so as to avoid totally preventable things -- there's still always the risk of hurting yourself through the sheer act of sex. It's often like working out, or wrestling -- sex can be, obviously, very physical. I always recommend stretching beforehand, though of course that can be a bit of a moodkiller -- 'Hold on, luv, I have to stretch out my hamstrings before you bend me over,' and so on. So a good way to ensure that you won't pull anything is to stretch in advance if you know or predict you might be getting laid."

She gestured to a table where she'd put together some small handouts with varying poses demonstrated. "I'm a big fan of yoga in general -- it helps the mind as well as the body -- but from a purely physiological standpoint, yoga and pilates have been demonstrated to help with sex and flexibility, and the meeting of the two."

She plucked up a book from the same table, smiling. "Try out the poses in the handout and see what feels good and what feels tight, and stretch accordingly. Then flip through this, and see what I mean about how stretching beforehand is not only a good idea, but a huge part of sex since pretty much forever."

Cosima wasn't quite brave enough to look at the Kama Sutra in public, so it was yoga for her, too. She almost managed an entire sun salute sequence without wobbling.
