Issues for Discussion (Teacher Notes)
Ø There is not necessarily a correct ordering of the cards. It is more important for the
students to have decided what each card means to them and for them to have
negotiated the order based on their own definitions.
Ø The most important point is for students to acknowledge their own sexuality and
sexual desires. Based on having the correct information students can decide what is
best for each individual.
Ø Provide an example for class discussion (e.g., your partner tells you they have
Herpes). How does this fit in to the order of the cards? Praising a partner for honesty
is important. Getting necessary information would now be important to find out how
you can have sex and not get Herpes.
Ø Ask students how it felt to negotiate with one another. Were there any difficulties?
Did anyone find it difficult to have his or her dissenting voice heard? Point out that
the importance of communication in a relationship includes the ability to negotiate for
what you want or do not want from one another.
