The Science of Sexuality, Monday
There was a friendly little basket of condoms right next to the door when students filed into the classroom this morning. Because the teachers cared about your safety.
Well. John cared about it. Sherlock wanted to keep you all out of the gene pool.
"Birth control, as none of you were aware a few weekends ago, comes in various forms," Sherlock began lazily. Someone had also had a holiday filled with crimes and cases. He'd even been shot at! Best. Vacation. Ever. "The obvious condoms, diaphragms, pills, surgeries, and of course abstinence--ask Ms Fabray if you wish--one of which should always be employed unless you plan on caring for a child for more than one weekend."
Hell, even John looked a lot less twitchy and a lot more satisfied with himself and the world in general. He'd gotten his adrenaline fix over the week, and that always made him feel miles better.
... Shut up, it was healthy. "Of course, none of these methods are a hundred percent perfect if you want to avoid having children, except for the abstinence," he said, matter-of-factly. "That's why it's usually best to use a combination of these means of birth control. Condoms can tear, or have holes in them, or react badly to certain oils, or even simply slip off. You run about a two percent chance of getting someone pregnant if you use them. Likewise, the contraceptive pill has a pregnancy rate of two to eight percent. Most problems with the pill occur because the wrong instructions have been given, or you've simply followed them wrong."
"You will be pairing off to practice with the condom. Really, John? Is this necessary?" Sherlock was not impressed with this plan.
"Absolutely," John said, straight faced. Though there was probably a reason why they were in a classroom with faucets...
