Northwestern University Holds Live Sex Demonstration

Mar 4, 2011#1

The course’s professor on Wednesday acknowledged some initial hesitation, but said student feedback was “uniformly positive.”

... My word.

They needed to prove the female orgasm is real? What the shit?

My reaction is uniformly positive.

In all sincerity, this wasn't a high school or lower, it was a sex class, and while different and controversial, I don't think they crossed a line.

Yeah, I see no problem here. The students chose to be there and were warned ahead of time what was going to happen. Looks like a fitting demonstration on exhibitionism.

My only worry would be that since the demonstrators were paid to be there, that someone might try to charge them with prostitution.

If the prof did not cross the line, he sure did the old soft shoe all around it...

I bet BYU's Brandon Davies wish he played for Northwestern now.

I'm much more appalled with the grammar and spelling in this article.

“My grandma was like, wow, Northwestern is a little bit different then when I went there,” he said.

Marcus, a musician who said he has worked as a sex educator, said he thinks it is “smart and important” for students to be learn about sexuality.

His 2003 book, “The Man Who Would Be Queen,” sparked hostile debate in the transgender community by claiming that there were more reasons for men to become women then simply that biology trapped them in the wrong body.

The article writer wrote this during the presentation.

According to the article, they'd just seen a really fucking awful video on the subject. The demonstration was held as a response.

Also... you know... students.

[T]he after-class show, which featured four members of Chicago’s fetish community describing “BDSM,” or bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism.
“I didn’t expect to see a live sex show,” said Justin Smith, 21, a senior economics and political science major who was in the after-class session. “We were told we were going to have some people talk to us about the fetish world and kink.”

It doesn't sound like they knew the sex show was going to happen, even the demonstrators hadn't planned on it. Maybe they provided warning before getting busy, buuuut it wasn't scheduled ahead of time. I'm not a prude, but this is ridiculous, and not educational in the slightest.

At least enrollment will rise.

Obviously, I've been going to the wrong college.

...students were repeatedly warned it was going to get graphic

Also, under the picture that accompanies the article it says this was an optional lecture. I don't see a problem here. Anyone who didn't want to be there could have walked out or just not stayed after the class.

Which is exactly what most did.

Apparently they needed to prove the existence of the female orgasm. Either there were some ignorant students there, or it was a ruse.

Speaking as a university student myself, I'm betting on the former.

It's just sex =/

I'm surprised more people aren't getting teste and rising up.

sixpackshaker

A lot of students would sign up to take the testies... pass or fail.

They'd have to pass the oral, first.

...

Oh, COME ON. It was RIGHT there. I had to!

Sounds like this didn't go ovary so well. It's a hard subject, but I know many will rise to the situation. Teclitally speaking, it's not like we can whip them or gas 'em for their choices because there's not a vas deferens between textbook images and a live demonstration. If we prosecuted people for skin, we'd have to jail half the college body. People are condoming them, but let's not be labia the point here - they gave the students what they wanted.
