Sex Ed, Monday [4-20] Third Period

"Well, this is our last class together," Steve said as he leaned on his desk next to a tray of cupcakes. "This is, in fact, your final exam. You've been a wonderful class this semester, and I hope you've learned something useful. In fact, that's your final. I want you to write an essay on what you've learned in this class. Please, don't be

I learned that I won't die of embarrassment talking about sex, even if I want to. I learned a lot about ways to be safe and ways in which people are different. I learned you really weren't kidding about those little kids after Prom. And I learned there are people much better at this, but also much more clueless about this, than I am... so I can always give them a book.

She'd also learned that Leto Atreides was a terrific kisser, but somehow didn't think Mr. Rogers wanted to read about that.

Ned took a few seconds to plan his essay out before he started writing.

I learned that sex isn't a bad thing. That it's natural for people to want it but it's also for people to get a little embarrassed when talking out loud about it and there's nothing wrong with that. Sex, while fun, can lead to a lot of unexpected consequences if you're not careful so safety should be on your mind before jumping into anything. No one needs sexually transmitted diseases or unexpected children, cute as they might.

I also learned that the actual act of sex isn't the only thing to think about. There's flirting and getting to know another person and that's not something people usually think about it but it makes a difference.

He paused and wrote a little more but thought that was a good bulk of what he'd learned.

Penelope penned in a very neat script:

This class has been very educational and I thank you first for the well mannered way in which you taught it.

I've taken different perspectives on this class and will certainly use them in my life when considering being with another person. I've learned seperate measures to take regarding safety and the diseases one can contract when careless. Also the probable outcome of a child when safety is not a concern.

So many of us are different from each other. Our views, our opinions, our overall outlook on sex and I've learned that it is all right to be different, to wait for that special someone, to not wait; we are who we are and are not judged according to our beliefs. I have to say for myself that I knew next to nothing about sex and I now feel entirely informed and educated enough that when I finally make the serious decision, I will be able to make it knowing that I was, at the very least, well enlightened.Though there was enough humble humilation about her, that she would never willingly

Helen wrote a very detailed 5 page essay covering each class and what she had learned from each segment. It might be far more detailed than he had expected, but then that's Helen for you.

Éowyn was much better at speaking than writing, so her essay went slowly, but she was much happier writing about this subject than having to speak about it in front of everyone.

I learned that there is far more to sexual relations than producing children or pleasing one's husband. I learned that no two people feel exactly the same way about intercourse, about who people should fall in love with, about whether or not love is necessary, and I learned that there is nothing wrong with disagreement, as long as there is also acceptance.

She went on for a bit longer to cover more specific topics that stuck well in her mind, but she felt the beginning was the most important part.

Obviously, the information covered was learned. But further, the frankness with which the information was discussed and dealt with demystified the ideas and concepts to allow for a greater understanding not just of those facts but of the social and psychological concerns---

Yeah, Liir's essay went on for a while. For the most part, though, he found the class useful and informative.

Also, I've done some work on the bacon cookies, if you'd like to try some sometimes.

Despite being tired and looking like he'd had a rough weekend, Edmund managed to write an essay that didn't mention the word 'sex' at all. Instead, he alluded to what he knew about the physical aspect without actually mentioning physical parts, that there was much more to it than he'd first expected and how small children should never be a source of information when it came to possible ways for small children to be created.

Yes, he was still glaring at Gene from several universes away.

Van Helsing writes a brief essay (two pages at the most) about the class that indicates he may actually have more questions now than he did before he took the class. Also, several mentions of never wanting to have anything to do with children in any form ever. Never ever.

Alice thought for a long moment before she started to write.

From this class, I have learned proper methods of contraception, possible diseases which might be transmitted, and how very serious intimacy is, to share with another person.

From my experiences outside this class, I have also discovered that intimacy is a joyful, exquisite experience -- one that can make otherwise-sensible individuals forget their rationality and omit careful planning.

Knowing both sides, I will be sure, in the future, not to allow myself to be caught unawares. I will make plans for even unlikely situations, and I will remember the seriousness of the consequences at all times.

I thank you for being polite, tactful, and yet informative, even with embarrassing questions we might have asked. And for telling us that there is nothing shameful or wrong with choosing how we will express our connections to one another, if we choose to do so at all.
