Summer's Eve Twin Pack

The boys were so pumped. This is an all male school, by the way.
"Where did you get them?"
"CVS, just this morning", I said.
"Can we take them home?"
"No, they belong to the school", I said.
"They're so cool."

One of the students asked a great question last week, "We call each other this all the time, but, what is a douche bag?" That is the reason I brought in the douches - a Summer's Eve Twin pack.

I explained to the class that a douche is similar to an enema with two major exceptions:
1) Douching is contraindicated and enemas are indicated. Indicated in medical jargon means recommended for a certain situation. Whereas contraindicated in medical jargon means do not do it, at all.
2) The location of the tube.

I noticed one boy pretending to squeeze the douche into his own crotch, showing off for the boy next to him. I asked him to please refrain from applying the douche.

Continuing, I went on to illustrate and explain that an enema is used for constipation. It is performed by draining a bag of fluid through a tube into someone's anus in order to flood and flush out the contents of the rectum.
Gagging noises from the class.

Using the same illustration I changed the location of the tube one inch forward to the vaginal opening and explained that this is where the fluid from a douche would drain. The reason douching is contraindicated- not recommended - is that it messes up the natural balance of the vaginal environment. The imbalance can lead to infections.

I ask if males shoot water up their penises in order to clean them out? All boys hands slid protectively under the tables. No, one had heard of it. Me neither.
Then one hand went up? "Why are douches even made then?"

Good question.
