Not sure even now...
Dec. 4th, 2008 12:17 amI'm not sure if my HIV/AIDS instructor/trainer tonight was amazed that I knew as many ... 'colloquial descriptives' ... for the various body parts, STDs/STIs and sexual activities as I did or amazed that I knew a few he didn't.
Actually - thinking back on it, I'm a bit amazed myself. Not in a bad way, I guess. All those years in the ER, having friends who not only walked 'both side of the street' but some who made their livings on the edges of it and reading/writing slash were useful. I think he kept waiting to come up with something that would squick me out and it just wasn't happening. The biggest problem all evening was the damned 'how to put on a condom demonstration' that each of us had to do. The condom I was given to use for the demo was old and somewhat gummy and the bleeping dildo kept sliding across the table.
Just another day in the service of the Red Cross attempting to stomp out infectious disease one class at a time.
