Sex Ed, Friday
Sam was definitely glad to be back in the classroom today, and he was trying not to look angry as everyone came in and took their seats. "I know we already talked about consent in general, but in light of the news recently, I just wanted to remind all of you that if anyone ever harasses you, there are people who will believe you," he said, pointing to himself. "There are some men out there who aren't scum, and I apologize for those who can't seem to keep themselves in their pants."
He let out a long sigh and shook his head. "Now, our actual topic for today is relationships, namely the debate between monogamy and polygamy. Monogamy is the idea that people should have one partner at a time - once you find a girlfriend or boyfriend, you only date that person until you break up, or take the relationship to the next level and get married. Polygamy refers to any relationship that involves more than two people. Historically, that usually means one man with a number of wives, but that's not what I'd like to talk about in a modern context. Modern polygamy is based on the idea that you can't expect one person to meet all your needs, or be into all the same things you're into, and being in love with one person doesn't mean all your desire for other people just shuts off. The key to a working polygamous relationship, of course, is communication and consent," Sam said. "Everyone has to be into the idea for it to work, and it really can work if everyone puts in some effort. Ultimately, there's pros and cons to both options, so I thought we could have a discussion about which option might be better."
Or they could just talk about how awful male celebrities were, Sam would let either conversation roll on.
