Session 1

Good morning everyone, and welcome to your first Sex Education class. Don’t be shy! Sex shouldn’t be a taboo subject, and I hope by the end of this course you will all have a newfound respect and understanding of the subject.

My name is Mr Summers. Yes, I am new to this school – in fact, this is only my second placement since I qualified as a teacher, and my first at an all-girls school. And yes, right again, I am from England. Oh, you’re too kind! I like your accent too. Please, go ahead and ask your questions. I want everyone to be relaxed and open in this class.

I’m 29, born and raised in the UK. I’ve been living here in Connecticut for the last 18 months. No, no, I actually moved here to live with my fiancee. What’s that? Class, please don’t laugh, no subjects are taboo in this class. Yes, before I moved here, my fiancee and I had a long-distance relationship; and yes, our sexual relationship did suffer through those early years – but we managed, and I dare say we’ve made up for it since!

Now, we have a full class this morning so I won’t ask you all to introduce yourselves. I understand that we have a range of students from tenth to twelfth grade ... So if I could please have a show of hands –

15 year olds? About a dozen, thank you.

16 year olds? A similar number, excellent.

17 year olds? Five – six – I beg your pardon, seven of you.

And 18 year olds? Just four of you. Super.

And you, Miss –? Miss March, thank you. I didn’t see you raise your hand? You’re 14? Oh my, I didn’t think this class was being offered to ninth graders. You’re very welcome here, nevertheless! You’re never too young to learn.

So, this sex education course is optional and although I’d encourage you to participate fully, it’s not mandatory. You can leave at any time. It’s really important to me that we’re all relaxed, comfortable and open with one another over the next few weeks. And, essentially, this course is about sexual learning. Your learning.

So – over to you, girls! As an ice-breaker, please tell me what you want to learn about?

Don’t be shy! How about a starter for ten? This is an all-girls school so perhaps you’re lacking in knowledge of male sexual development? Would that be of interest? Yes, yes, of course. Yes, I’ve already prepared something like that for later this morning. Don’t snigger, class – like I said before, we all need to be comfortable – so please don’t shy away from colloquial terms! There’s nothing wrong with the word “cock”.

Miss March? Of course, that’s a great suggestion. I know you’re the youngest student here today, but I’m sure many of your classmates would also benefit from an overview of the female body. Oh ... you mean female masturbation techniques? Apologies, I – uh – I misunderstood. But why not? I’m sure I can add it to our syllabus!

Oral sex? Excellent! We’re really cooking with fire now.

Any others? Well, that’s an excellent start, and I shall be quite happy to cover all these topics over the next four weeks. But what is on the agenda for today? As I mentioned earlier, I’ve prepared an overview of male sexual development. Now, I’m keen for this course to be as practical and hands-on as possible so I shan’t be relying on text books ... Instead, we have a couple of live models for you! Please let me introduce Kyle and Anton!

Come in, boys, and join me at the front of the class.

This is Anton. He’s 15 years old, from the boys school in New Milford. And this is Kyle. Kyle has just turned 20 and is hoping to become a teacher one day. Yes, this should be good work experience for you! Girls, do you have any questions for Anton and Kyle?

Speak up Anton, the class can’t hear you. Yes, girls, Anton is a virgin. That’s nothing to be embarrassed about though; I’m sure most of the 15 year olds in this room are likewise. Oh? Sorry, your name, miss? Miss Stoker, thank you. Gosh, that is an awful lot of experience for a 15 year old – you might be able to teach this class a thing or two!

And Kyle, are you a virgin? No? Wow, almost as much experience as Miss Stoker, it seems!

Me? Well, the focus is on Kyle and Anton this morning, but like I said earlier, I’m keen to encourage an open dialogue between us. Unsurprisingly, I’m not a virgin. However, I was a late bloomer and didn’t actually enter into a sexual relationship with a girl until I was in my early twenties. Ha ha, no, it wasn’t through lack of trying!

Masturbation? Yes, a great question. Anton, do you masturbate often? And Kyle? Yes, I think it’s fair to say that both Kyle and Anton are quite normal in that respect. Males are at their sexual peak in their late teens, compared to females who reach this peak in their late twenties or early thirties. No, I don’t masturbate as often as Kyle and Anton – two or three times a week, perhaps – but I also have regular sex with my partner, so the need to masturbate is not so great for me.

Okay class. I’ve hooked up my mobile phone – ahem, my cellphone – to the projector so we can broadcast on the big screen! That way you’ll all be able to see clearly, even those of you in the back row. Please may I have a volunteer film this session?

Thank you, Miss –? Miss Grove, thank you. Yes, come on up. Here’s is my phone – you just need to press here and – that’s right, excellent. Yes, please focus on the boys.

Okay, Anton and Kyle, please would you remove your clothes? No, just strip off here, it’s fine. Yes, I’ll take that. That’s it. Now turn around and face the class – thank you.

So girls. Any immediate observations? No, all male genitals are different, just as your female genitals have their unique features. (That’s right Miss Grove, zoom right in!) Kyle’s penis, perhaps because of his age, is noticeably bigger than Anton’s. However, that’s in their flaccid state – there is no way of knowing how they’ll compare when erect ... though I see that we may find out very soon!

Anton, as you can see, is becoming sexually excited. His penis is growing very quickly! A lot of things can cause this – direct stimulation, arousal by other means, even, sometimes, the need to urinate. What’s that Anton? Yes, just being naked in front of a class of young women is enough to make you excited.

As you can see, Anton only has a little pubic hair, though it is likely to thicken throughout puberty. Kyle, however, is cleanly shaved. Would you like to share why that is, Kyle? Your girlfriend prefers it that way? And she’s shaved too? Yes, a lot of men and women remove their pubic hair entirely. When I was younger I used to trim mine quite short, so as to accentuate the length of my penis.

Ah, look! Anton’s erection has developed very nicely! Bravo!

Kyle, how would you feel about showing the class your erection so we may compare them? Please feel free to touch yourself if necessary ... Well, I suppose we could ask. Do we have any volunteers who would help Kyle reach a state of arousal? Miss Price, is it? Yes, please come to the front. How old are you? Ah, look, Kyle’s penis has already started to engorge – clearly, it’s the thought of an attractive fifteen year old eagerly volunteering to assist him!

Yes, just put your hands – Kyle, do you mind? – that’s right, and just ... perfect, just stroke slowly back and forth. That’s right. And look, you see that? That’s pre-ejaculate, or pre-cum. Yes, quite normal, Miss Price. Very good, yes, I think that’s enough!

So, class, as you can see, Anton had nothing to be embarrassed about! In his flaccid state his penis – okay, yes, his “cock” if you prefer the term – was two or maybe three inches long. And now he’s proudly presenting at least six inches! Compare this to Kyle’s; your cock, Kyle, was what? Around five inches? And now, erect, it’s not significantly bigger than Anton’s. As you can see, the size of the flaccid penis does not directly compare to that of the erect penis.

Yes, Miss March, that’s right – both boys are circumcised. The majority of males used to be circumcised here in the states, though in recent years I believe that’s reduced to about half. No, I’m not circumcised – in the UK it is not so common.
