Sex Ed, Tuesday, 3rd Period

Sorry kids, there were no fun props waiting for you in class today, just a long handout that Clint handed to everyone on their way in.

"Hey guys and ladies. So, we've talked about how to be safe when you're having sex, but I thought we should also talk about how to figure out who you might want to have sex with," he said.

"For some people, the answer is easy - you see someone of the opposite sex, think they're attractive, they feel the same way about you, and boom it's sex time. But for some people, the answer is a lot more difficult. Maybe you see someone of the same sex and think they're attractive. Maybe you think everyone is attractive. Maybe you think everyone is attractive, but you don't want to have sex with them. Maybe you don't need to find people attractive to want to have sex with them. There's a lot of different options when it comes to orientation, which is why there are so many different definitions on this sheet. My question to you is, do you think we need so many different orientations? Do you think there's something that should be on this list that isn't there? You're all... well, you're a lot more knowledgeable about sex topics than I expected, so I thought a discussion might be okay."

Of course, god help them all if anyone had strong feelings on the subject.

"I've never really thought about it before I got here," Ada admitted. "I know about sex -- you can't live around as many people as are in my family and not figure it out -- but if I looked at anyone, boy or girl, in that way, I would have been grounded to my trailer for weeks, and stuck with a chaperon."

Chester was a wee bit protective of Ada. Just a bit.

"Still, none of this?" Ada tapped her handout, "--is new. Or the words are new, but I know people like this, because, well, most people who aren't born into it don't up and join the carnival if you feel happy and accepted at home."

"I think categories can help people feel comfortable with themselves," April volunteered. "I have friends who use labels to define their sexuality and just finding the right label took a lot of pressure off their shoulders. It's just good to feel less alone."

"I didn't know there were that many orientations," Gwen admitted. "But if it fits, then good."

Her views were simple.
