fandomhigh | Sex and Sexuality, Monday

When the students came in, they would be treated to the sight of their two instructors standing at the front of the class, one nattily dressed and smiling affably, and the other dressed stiffly professorily and scowling.

The scowling one spoke up first. "Good afternoon. I am Jonathan Sims, and this class was meant to be Queer Theory, but has apparently been made into Sex and Sexuality. Which is also a valuable course! So welcome. And I don't care what the moose says, I don't need a co-teacher."

Said co-teacher shrugged, still smiling. "But I am a doctor, both medical and psychological, so clearly I can only be an asset. Welcome, everybody. I am Doctor Hannibal Lecter. Pleased to meet you all. It seems we have a fairly small class this term, so I look forward to getting to know you."

"The first class traditionally starts with introductions," Jon broke in, "So why don't we do that? Please let us know your name and pronouns. If you feel comfortable sharing more about your own gender or sexuality, please do, but don't feel obligated."

Hannibal interrupted in turn. "As I said earlier, I am Dr. Hannibal Lecter. I use he/him pronouns, unless it's an odd weekend, in which case, I'm not fussed about them. I am pansexual and panromantic, meaning I am open to romance and/or sexual relations with any gender."

"And I am, as I said, Jonathan Sims," Jon took over. "I also use he/him pronouns. I don't tend to think in labels, but I suppose you could say that I'm panromantic and asexual. I enjoy romance with any gender, but I'm not interested in sex." If that last bit was said even more professorial and stiff than before, please forgive him; this wasn't something he generally spoke about with students.

He would have to get over that to teach this class, and Hannibal's amusement said he knew it. "If you could also share something about what you hope to gain from this class, that would be helpful." He nodded at the first student.

No reason to be embarrassed. No reason at all. This was fine, she was fine, she just wasn't allowed to think about anyone or anything for the duration of this class and she'd be fine.

"Hi, I'm Arden Finch," she said. "Uh, she/her, and I've never had a proper class like this. I was homeschooled--" in the very loosest terms "--since I was little and while my legal guardian wasn't shy about sex or sexuality, there was never really a push to explain anything."

There. Done. Over. Now to never speak up in this class again.

"I can definitely help with some of those explanations, Hannibal said. "I do hope it isn't too awkward having two male professors, but I hope you can all will speak up to share your own experiences as appropriate."

"I think it'll be okay?" Arden said.

Honestly, she figured she would probably be more embarrassed by her lack of experiences to share.

Jon would be perfectly all right with nobody sharing any experiences, thank you! This was a theory class, and he was holding hard to that.
