# Chapter 1
In her first couple years teaching the senior high honors Human Sexuality class Katie Callahan taught the curriculum exactly as it had been taught for some twenty or thirty years, showing the appropriate videos from the eighties and powerpoints provided by the school board to the students. The few pictures of actual anatomy were grainy pictures of the ugliest genitals to ever pose for a camera. The resources were obviously lacking. The videos never went into specific details of safe sex and intercourse. Rather, it explained the scientific reasons for sex. The male sperm enters the ovary to create a fetus and so on.
The students always had an abundance of questions after the presentation and Ms. Callahan always found it hard to answer these questions.
For instance when she did the class for the tenth grade a student asked “Why do people ever need to wear condoms like the video said? I thought the whole reason for sex was to make babies. I don’t understand?” Her name was Annalee and she was from an oddly conservative family for California, church-going types, and so Ms. Callahan wasn’t surprised that she was the one to ask the question. It was now two years later and Ms. Callahan was once again her teacher, this time for senior year. Most families were like Annalee’s at Angel Grove High. The school had been founded by hard conservative Christians as a private school wanting to protect their children from the evils of the world. It was a miracle that condoms were even mentioned in the older videos.
