(This is to girls mainly kk great moving on) I really believe that even if it grosses you out (for some reason????) you NEED to understand your own body and help get rid of the stigma around women's sexuality (being that it's nonexistent and they serve as toys for men and objects of distraction in classroom) and bodies and bodily functions and get RID of the fact that women are just sex objects AND ALSO STOP VIRGIN SHAMING (what definition are you using anyway?) AND SLUT SHAMING (you do this, you're stupid and misogynistic and why do you care about her sex life anyway?) ITS JUST AWFUL AND RIDICULOUS JUST SETS BACK SEXUAL EQUALITY

watch laci green's YouTube videos if you're interested in any of this

Also, cam and Kat have the relationship that YES they CAN talk about this (:

"Katherine!"

"Cam!"

"I love you!"

"I miss you!"

"I haven't heard your voice is forever."

"Ah, I know."

"How are you? You sound happy."

"I love Human Sexuality. Like, we talked about something really cool today. And it's so weird because back in high school the guys would've been like ew but here everyone is calm and just listens and discusses anyway today was an awesome class."

"Why was it an awesome class?"

"Well, okay so she was talking about how in so many cultures purity before marriage was such a big deal and how the hymen was ceremoniously broken and there was blood on the sheets to prove the marriage was consummated and that she was a virgin."

"Okay."

"Anyway, the thing is, what they've learned is that it's not a thing to break. Usually, like did you know that isn't just kind of a lining that may tear a bit during intercourse but it's not just gone? And usually by the time someone is a teenager, well a girl obviously, it's already...I don't remember the word, but like, kind of stretched? From physical activity and stuff."

"That's weird..."

"Anyway, and apparently the blood people sometimes see on the sheets is usually due to someone being nervous or not fully aroused or the guy is doing it like he saw in porn which is frankly ridiculous. So anyway, we learned that. And some people have hymens that are like honey-comb shaped and they have to have surgery. Oh, also, back to the beginning..."

"The marriages?"

"Yeah, now or well, in place where the sheets are checked, girls will like sharpen their fingernail and stab their thigh. To get the blood, just in case."

"..."

"What? Are you going to be one of hose boys that can't discuss female body parts?"

"No, no I'm just kind of floored that I didn't know that? Like, how do people still think it's this thing that's broken through and...I don't know."

"Oh, side note, it's a membrane. Around the edges."

"Cool, cool."

"I think it's fascinating."

"I think you're more fascinating...but that is interesting, I agree."

"Anyway, how was your day?"
