Sex Ed? What’s that? Oh, you mean where they showed us rabbits doing it? Followed up with a couple of pretty meaningless diagrams…. and believe me, we were curious to learn.
A couple of years later, our biology silences the class, then pulls down this life size poster of a naked man, points straight at his mickey, and asks the class “OK….what is this?”
Every guy in the room lowered his eyes, all too afraid to say the obvious, just in case it was wrong and they’d be laughed at by the girls.
“Oh for God’s sake” the teacher was getting impatient. “You all have them.”
“I’ve never had one!” I heard one of the girls giggle and whisper.
“What was that, Barbara?” the teacher had 20/20 hearing!
Beetroot faced, Barbara stood up.
“It’s a dick, sir.” She offered.
“I beg your pardon? It is not a dick, Barbara!” teacher bellowed, “It is a penis! A penis, boys. For God’s sake, are you all stupid?”
No, we weren’t all stupid, just highly embarrassed.
“Sorry sir.” Barbara was over her initial cautiousness. “But it does look a bit like a dick as well!”
We never found out the teachers reaction to that comment, because he lifed her by a pig-tail and led her out of the classroom.
I reckon Barbara could have taught us a lot more!
