Sex Ed, Monday [2-2] Third Period

"Let's talk about pregnancy," Steve said, beaming at his class. "Pregnancy is how--barring crazy witches or mad scientists--new life is created. Now, half of you--again, barring crazy witches or mad scientists--will never be pregnant. For that, you should thank your God. Yes, it is a miraculous process, but it is not a fun process, and definitely not one that should be undertaken by teenagers. Ahem."

"Generally speaking, women are able to conceive around five days per twenty-eight day menstrual cycle." Why yes, Steve was turning quite pink. "As I mentioned previously, if you're pre-modern, your best bet as far as birth control goes is to figure out when those days are using a fertility chart and avoid intercourse during that period. Now we're going to watch a short film on conception."

Once the film was over, Steve continued talking. "Some early indicators of pregnancy include a missed period, swollen or tender, um, breasts, fatigue, morning sickness, which can actually happen at any time of the day, and needing to um, urinate often. There are other possible explanations for all of these symptoms, but if you're experiencing more than one of them, it might be a good idea to purchase a pregnancy test or make an appointment with your doctor. As soon as you find out you're pregnant, it's important to stop smoking and drinking alcohol and, horrifying as this may sound, cut out caffeine.

"Pregnancy is generally divided into three three-month periods, or trimesters. During the first trimester, all of the indicators of early pregnancy mentioned above are experienced, along with mood swings, headaches, backaches, and food cravings--hence the stereotype of 'pickles and ice cream.' During the second trimester some of those symptoms will go away, to be replaced by the abdomen expanding, which changes balance, and shortness of breath. The third trimester basically entails walking around with a watermelon strapped to your stomach while suffering from heartburn, sore feet, and hemorrhoids. At the end of it you do get a baby, though. Gentlemen, your role during all of this is to do whatever the woman wants you to do. Full stop. Now we're going to watch the least horrifying video about childbirth I could find."

When the video was complete, Steve said, "You're welcome to take the rest of the class to discuss why you're absolutely not going to become teen pregnancy statistics."

Ned barely refrained from burying his head in his hands and hiding from the movie. He turned red and stared at his desk while peeking at the movie from the corners of his eyes.

Eric stared in mildly embarrassed wonder. That was how it worked? He was so very, very glad that he was a) male and b) gay.

Helen wondered if this was information that people honestly hadn't known before.

While the mun cannot stop giggling over canonical irony, Liir spent the entire time doing two things:

One, wondering if his crazy Witch had ever had to do with anyone's pregnancy (saving a touch of irritation to the side since he was reasonably sure she hadn't and that was a terrible sort of thing to say someone had done). And

Two, being glad that this was not something he had to worry about with Amber just yet.

My her desk was terribly interesting. It wasn't the first time she'd heard some of it, no, but all the same... it was the first time with boys in the room at the same time.

It's not like she hasn't seen all this before. But the last time, the consequences of sex seemed a lot more theoretical.

Dinah is now considering just how much Mr. Rogers must hate them all.

Priestly had his head in his hands. Yeah, he still totally wanted to get laid. He just wanted to do it very, very carefully, now.

Penelope just ducked her head and tried extremely hard to pretend like she wasn't even there.

Somehow, Sookie hadn't known it would be...like that.

Yet another reason to never have sex.

Harper thought she could handle the videos, but her cheeks slowly changed from pink to red as she watched.

Mostly, Van Helsing is hiding so he doesn't actually see the videos.

Well. Alice had been developing a small curiosity as to what this sex was, exactly.

That seemed to be thoroughly squashed.

"Never having...again," Ned said, leaving out the actual word. "No babies. I'd drop them."

"All of a sudden," Eric said, "I am really glad that I'm gay. I don't think I want to put anyone through that, no matter what the end result is."

Dinah was shaking her head, wincing. "How many forms of birth control can you use at the same time?"

Not that she had a reason to worry. But still.
