End of Class

"....and that is why it's important to always wear a condom, boys! Any questions??" No hands went up. They rarely ever did. Whether it was out of embarrassment or due to the boys hiding their boners, it didnt matter. I'm confident in my knowledge and experience and I can always relate to the students and explain things in ways that make sense to them. "Morgan, can you pass out the practice condoms?" "And Carly, can you give everybody a cucumber from this bag?" Morgan and Carly, the ditzy blonde bombshells and new co-captains of the cheer squad, excitedly hopped out of their seats and grabbed the bags from the table beside the podium. Each began to pass out the condoms and cucumbers on different sides of the room. I began to explain the activity, "Okay, I want each of you to partner up and practice applying condoms to the cucumbers. Hold the cucumbers between your legs to give yourselves the most realistic experience. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you're having trouble, and remember how I demonstrated earlier!" Morgan handed Korey a condom as he smugly blurted out "I know Morgan doesn't need practice!" Both traded winks as Morgan giggled her way back to her seat. A subtle rush of jealousy swept thru me.

For the remainder of the class everyone donned their cucumbers with condoms. Giggles and brainless exchanges between the blondes as they posted video after video to their Instagrams. The boy athletes all huddled up making immature jokes and gestures. I couldn't help but notice the only other girl in the class, Ashley, was sitting by herself in the front corner. She looked embarrassed but interested in the activity. Ashley was the total opposite of Morgan and Carly. She was thicker, with dark hair and a full face. I could tell she was inexperienced and just needed some guidance. I'd have to talk to her 1-on-1 at some point to help calm her nerves. I also noticed that Ben, the scrawny math major, was sitting by himself. He was struggling something awful to get the condom to unroll over the cucumber and was visibly frustrated. Just then my phone alarm went off signaling the end of class. "Okay class, I'll see you all tomorrow! Don't forget to brush up on your human anatomy!". My students filed out of the room one by one with Ben bringing up the rear. "Hey Ben" I whispered. "Can you stay for just a few minutes?"
