Day 218 [Open]

[dontyoujustwish]

Who: Anya and anyone
Open: Open!
When: 218, throughout the day
Where: All over the Bastion
What: Unsolicited sex-ed
Format: I'll match
Warnings: Anya has no filters.

Anya does not normally spend much time on the Skyway, but anyone might have noticed she's been going out more than usual over the past week. Sometimes alone, sometimes dragging certain Nobodies along because it is in their best interest.

The goal of all this? Safety and education. She is being awfully generous and using the resulting shards to buy a large quantity of condoms. Not just for herself, but for the Bastion's population of should-be-hormonal teenagers and the like.

If you look like you've been through puberty, Anya is liable to approach you. She's not going door-to-door or anything (she doesn't care that much), but if she sees you around the Bastion, better be prepared for a probably awkward conversation.

Anyway, whether you're old enough for sex is really your decision.

[amnesiadragon]

I don't really know anything about sex anyway...

[dontyoujustwish]

Do you want to know anything about sex?

[amnesiadragon]

I... uh. I wouldn't even really know where to start.

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

Thank you. Then I shall bid you adieu.

[The polite and respectful tone of his voice is dialed up so high it can't even remotely be considered to be intended as polite or respectful. The use of "adieu" on a demon is a completely unintentional bonus though.

Rob resumes his trek to the onsen.]

[heptagram]

Patchouli wouldn't be willing to let that stop her. Also, in this case, 'knocking them off the edge' would probably be a little closer to 'collapsing the ground under them.' But that's completely unrelated.

"I can understand being uninterested, but even then, that type of response is kind of extreme."

[magisperica]

...

[ just gonna stare for a second and then when she finally speaks up, her voice is ice cold. ]

Yeah, because when you've lost everything and everyone that you've ever loved, when you don't even get the fucking grace of being able to die with them -- the first thing you think of is hopping into the sack. Right.

[ she stands up suddenly, hard enough to make the table rattle and turns on her heel, to storm away. ]

Keep the fucking things, I don't want them.

[dontyoujustwish]

It does help with stress re-- Hey!

[Anya won't follow, but she does plant her hands on her hips and call after her.]

You don't have to be so rude about it! I'm only trying to help.

[dontyoujustwish]

"I know! She could have tried a simple 'no thank you,' or just taken them to pass on to a friend if she was so certain she would never need them. I'm glad you understand."

[dontyoujustwish]

That's okay, because I can tell you everything. My question is, do you want me to? Some people get very touchy talking about sex, the other you included.

[amnesiadragon]

Sure? I don't really mind.

[It's hard to embarrass him.]

[heptagram]

"Absolutely. That is what I intend to do -- keep these until someone I know wants one. I don't see myself ever using them."

For, well, several reasons.

[dontyoujustwish]

[Anya decides to take a seat as this could be a lengthy explanation.]

First of all, do you know the differences between your anatomy and a woman's?

[dontyoujustwish]

Anya nods as if in understanding and then asks what she presumes to be the only legitimate reason for this to be so.

"Are you gay?"

[heptagram]

"Yes," Patchouli reported with a nod. "Well, there's that and the fact that I tend to keep to myself -- meaning I'm probably not likely to take many partners, of course -- and that I have kind of a low sex drive, too."

[dontyoujustwish]

"That's unfortunate-- the low sex drive, I mean, not about being gay. That seems like a smart choice. Most men are despicable, it must be nice not to find them attractive."

[amnesiadragon]

Yeah. I've seen a naked girl before.

[dontyoujustwish]

Good. That makes this easier.

That's not to say that sex is always between a man and a woman or that it has anything to do with "loving each other very much" like these conversations always start on the television. It can be between absolutely anyone, including more than two people. But the biological purpose of sex, I suppose, requires a man and a woman.

Now, the first thing is foreplay. If anyone tells you this isn't important, they're lying. Exactly what foreplay is depends on the person, but the point is for everyone involved to feel sexually aroused. You might try strip teases or touching each other's bodies or playing out a scenario you find exciting. You'll find out what works for you when you start experimenting.

[amnesiadragon]

[He just... tilts his head a bit. Uhhhhh.]

But... why? Why do people do this stuff?

[dontyoujustwish]

Because when you do it right, it feels amazing.

[She sighs before adding:]

And when you do it with people you love, you connect with them on another level.

[heptagram]

"That's certainly one way to look at it," Patchouli responded. "It does help alleviate a little strain, not having such an issue, not thinking to yourself, 'This person is absolutely impossible to like on any level whatsoever, why the hell am I attracted to them?' Or, for it to at least be less common."

[amnesiadragon]

I don't... know that it's a good idea for me. I don't think Endless and mortals are supposed to do something like that.

[dontyoujustwish]

Anya looks thoughtful. "Maybe I should try it with a woman. They do say there are some things you can never know without giving them a chance. It might be fun."

[dontyoujustwish]

What on earth is an Endless and why not?

[amnesiadragon]

Me. I'm not human. Endless are... they're dragons. Some call us 'gods'.
