Congratulations Mystical Clam!



Sex education is a huge problem in America.   HUGE!  Kids don’t know about penises in vaginas, penises in anuses, and vaginas rubbing up against vaginas (we assume, since how else could girls make that work?!) and it’s literally killing dozen of teen!

Many people in more progressive states (anything that isn’t located in what used to the Confederacy) have begun teaching comprehensive sex-ed in schools, to prevent rampant gonorrhea, crabs, syphilis and the shits from spreading through our sexy teens like wildfire.  The hope is that at least a handful of our teens will emerge from their education with clean enough bills of health to work in porn, since America’s exploited teens are a rapidly vanishing resource.

But southern states are rampant with their claps and their butt babies and all the other myriad problems that emerge when you don’t have sex education.  Condoms are available by prescription only, guarded by armed men in the back of stores.  There’s no hope in sight for the children of the south, previously our most desperately spirited sexual deviants who would go on to titillate us once they reach legal adulthood.  Something must be done.

That’s where you wash ashore in the middle of a storm, to use a very literal turn of phrase.  You’re a magical clam and today, following a horrifying freak storm that will devastate the Louisiana coastline, you’ll be washed ashore into a Health classroom in a public school in some nameless shithole somewhere along banks of the Gulf.

You’ll sit there for three hours before some teens come in to start cleaning up their classroom so their obese teacher can sit down behind the desk you’ll be occupying  at the time.  When one of them, a young woman, reaches out to you you’ll warn her:

“Don’t pick me up without a glove!  Shellfish can often carry bacteria that can lead to harmful health conditions.”

The children will collectively gasp at your crisp, clear unaccented voice.

“What’re y’all abou’ na?” one boy will ask.

“I’m a magical clam,” you’ll proudly announce.  “I have the answer to most health related questions.”

The kids will get into how you know all this shit and you’ll explain to them that life as a clam is filthy and if you’re a magical sentient clam who can talk it’s hard not to start obsessing over all the various health conditions that can befall you, especially when you somehow have mystical access to the internet.  They’ll then start asking you about sex.

“Is it true y’all can get pregnant from a finger?” one girl will ask.  A boy will chortle, then suddenly turn pale as a sheet as he realizes he’s accidentally fingered his cousin at least twice.

“No.  But you can get certain infections from having dirty digits placed in your vagina, so you should always insist your partner washes his or her self carefully before engaging in any sort of sexual activity.”

The children will coo at the knowledge you can provide.  Over the next month you’ll tell them of condoms, of oral sex and of why they shouldn’t generally have sex with animals.  Word of your deeds will spread throughout the south.  You’ll become a legend in the south: a mystical clam that speaks the truth about sex and, divorced from the pay and pension structure of the state of Louisiana’s public school system, can actually respond to the questions burning in the minds of these horny teens.

In the process you’ll draw the ire of a particularly angry group of religious extremists, who will form an elaborate plan to kill you.  Luckily your teens are pretty bright and the ensuing antics will later be documented in two films: a lighthearted family comedy about learning about sex and a murder-porn film about the pitfalls of religious extremism.

Congratulations Mystical Clam!
