<p>Northwestern</a> Defends Sex Demonstration In Classroom CBS Chicago</p>

<p>"More than 100 Northwestern students watched as a naked woman was penetrated by a sex toy during an after-class session of the school’s popular “Human Sexuality” class."</p>

<p>“'Northwestern University faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial and at the leading edge of their respective disciplines,' said spokesman Alan Cubbage. 'The University supports the efforts of its faculty to further the advancement of knowledge.'”</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>Where do I sign up</p>

3

<p>I don’t really care morally / ethically. It sounds like the class was about sexuality and sex specifically, so its students voluntarily watching a woman orgasm shouldn’t really be a big deal…</p>

4

<p>No, there is no real justification for this. EVEN IF you wanted to watch a woman orgasm, google, there are hundreds of videos of it, what a bunch of BS.</p>

5

<p>This is sort of like writing an article about men going to strip clubs, and then freak out about it because they’re naked… Let people do what they want.</p>

6

<p>But seriously, there was no need for this.</p>

7

<p>Of course not, you could easily find something better and less weird on the web:)</p>

8

<p>Idk i mean if the students signed up for it and knew what they were getting into then i think its fine. It’s like artists signing up to observe and draw live naked models</p>

9

<p>Except with the models being pleasured by their significant other with a dildo</p>

10

<p>I myself even as a guy, would feel uncomfortable watching that even if it was for a class.</p>

11

<p>Believe me, I have seen a lot more obscene art than that (incl. excrements among other things)…</p>

12

<p>I’m in Chicago, and on the way home tonight I was listening to talk radio (this story is ALL over the news) & a mother of a NW student who’s a psych major but apparently didn’t attend the class said, “THIS is what I’m paying $52,000 a year for?!”</p>

<p>I’m no prude, but this is a classic case of pseudo-intellectuals who have lost all sense of reality. Do me a favor, fantasy-world profs & instructors: do your damn job & teach my kid how to get a job in this economy. Dolts.</p>

13

<p>^Statements like that are idiotic. Obviously no one is paying $52,000/year just to have their kid see things like this. If the class was on sexuality, I would say they hit the nail dead on the head.</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s entirely possible to discuss sexuality and sex thoroughly without actually, y’know, watching people get off in class. Just sayin’.</p>

15

<p>Better to just show porn in class…</p>

16

<p>I’m definitely takin Human Sexuality next year then…</p>

17

<p>I’m in a Human Sexuality course now (not at Northwestern) and while we haven’t yet, I know that we do wind up watching porn at some point (it’s called “desensitization,” lol). I think this is going a little far, but as long as everyone in the room was a willing participant, there’s nothing you can really say is WRONG with it.</p>

18

<p>how old were the people?</p>

19

<p>LOL so that is so unnecessary. They totally just did it for the publicity and attention. I don’t know about you guys but have they never heard of something called porn?</p>

20

<p>I don’t see why this demonstration would be necessary to teach about human sexuality, but if it was a volunteer attendance and everyone was over 18, I guess it’s not far from something you could see in a multitude of places, but these places are usually considered “grotesque.”</p>
