Come with your questions!Class Experience
This class is designed for soon-to-be adults to help them appreciate from a medical perspective, the act of sexual intercourse, the effects on the body, and the range of consequences in order for them to appreciate the seriousness of engaging in the act. It is my hope that this class allows for a safe space that promotes understanding and responsible decisions through accurate medical information. Learners will be encouraged to ask any questions and I'll be sure to do some myth-busting! My classes are always fun and casual, as this is my teaching style. I encourage free talking and discussion but also create a comfortable environment for the quiet and shy amongst us; you can talk as little or as much as you want! I use conversation, slides and review games to impart the knowledge and encourage questions throughout. You need no prior knowledge to take this course! Please message me if you have any questions! The general structure of the sessions will be: 5 minutes introductions/icebreaking/initial questions/describing session objectives 40 minutes covering main topics as seen below (questions will be taken throughout) 5 minutes learners describing what they learnt for the day to ensure clarity The first session will cover: 1) What causes sexual feelings (hormonal impact, is it ok to not feel it, etc)? 2) Description of the sexual act (hormones involved, anatomical explanation, changes in the male and female body pre- sex, stages of sex, orgasms) 3) Why is sex different for men and women? (the refractory period, hormones, orgasms) 4) Myth-busting! The second session will cover: 1) The post-sex hormonal connection 2) How babies come from sex (myth-busting unproven ways of preventing conception 3) Sexually Transmitted Infections and other non-sexually transmitted infections that can result post-sex 4) Safe-sex and Contraception 5) Myth-busting! This class is designed to transition you into adulthood with confidence in your understanding about all things sex! If you are interested in that, then this class is for you! Please message me if you have any questions!

Other Details
Parental Guidance
All information imparted will be medically accurate. The intention is to create an appreciation for the seriousness of the decision to engage in the act and I believe accurate information can do that. The course is not designed to instil fear in any way but also not designed to encourage engaging in sex. It is only designed to give accurate medical information.
While the objective is to cover sexual intercourse if questions arise about oral sex or related, medically accurate answers will be given. This applies to any other questions as well. I expect a lot of curiousity and encourage it. I believe that accurate information can only help as they transition into adulthood, rather than misinformation.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm a family medicine doctor, with experience with all ages of patients including adolescence and young adults. I have guided many an adolescent through sexual issues or questions that were awkward for them but my biggest asset has always been my ability to communicate and create a comfortable environment, thus my adolescent patients always come back with more questions! Through my medical training, clinical experience and my love for children, communication and teaching, I have the tools to make this course a valuable experience for the learners.Reviews
