<p>I gotta wonder who “volunteered” for this demonstration? Was she paid? Getting naked and participating in a sex act with 100 people watching… and her boyfriend participated which makes it even creepier. </p>

<p>Watching a film of people having sex is not the same thing as live people having sex in front of 100 people. I know a film can be shown to thousands or millions, but a camera is not the same as live people watching. </p>

<p>Over the line. Beyond inappropriate. A film would have accomplished the same thing.</p>

<p>geeps20, thats exactly what I’d like to know.</p>

23

<p>It’s entertaining to see how most of the “adults” are morally outraged by this, while most of the students don’t really care (maybe even regretting they didn’t apply to UofC)…</p>

24

<p>Watching a video clearly would have not been the same, judging by the reactions in this thread. I’d guess a large part of this class’s goal is to reduce the taboos associated with sexuality and make discussion easier. This is a completely natural act, why is it weird for a group of adults to watch it in this situation?</p>

25

<p>I wonder if she faked an orgasm? Only two people in the room will know for sure, uh, make that one person…</p>

26

<p>

While I see your reasoning, the act in question was not “completely natural.”</p>

<p>The natural act would cause much more outrage, methinks.</p>

<p>“The class being voluntary doesn’t mean anything…all classes in college are pretty much voluntary.”</p>

<p>But this was also voluntary not only in the sense that the professor wasn’t taking attendance or anything, but in that exams wouldn’t cover anything that happened in the session. There was absolutely no penalty for making the decision not to attend the session, which isn’t the case with college classes that are only “voluntary” in the sense that attendance isn’t being taken and no one is physically forcing you to go.</p>

28

<p>Is this a vocational course?</p>

29

<p>“The professor might argue that an experience like this could help diffuse sexual tensions…” And this is a GOOD thing??</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’d be worried about a test that did!</p>

<p>Anyway, I wonder how the reception from college students would have been if it was a guy using a fleshlight instead.</p>

And this is coming from someone named woody.</p>

32

<p>I was going to respond, but this topic seems to have generated far too much interest from outside the parent group.</p>

33

<p>I’m just curious…what can anyone really say is “wrong” with it, assuming everyone in the room is of age and a willing participant? I probably wouldn’t attend, and I personally think it might be going a bit far, but I don’t think there’s any reason it shouldn’t be allowed to happen.</p>

<p>I think this article is the most informative-</p>

<p>[Northwestern</a> University defends after-class live sex demonstration - Chicago Sun-Times](<a href=“http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/4099633-418/northwestern-university-defends-after-class-live-sex-demonstration.html]Northwestern”>http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/4099633-418/northwestern-university-defends-after-class-live-sex-demonstration.html)</p>

<p>Does anyone think kids need instruction in this? Is this why we are supporting major centers of learning? I remember when I was in college, a non-credit lecture on the theory of economics behind communism. This is what we have come to?</p>

36

<p>

</p>

<p>Really? Really?</p>

37

<p>Well, pfips123, that article answered a lot of questions.</p>

<p>The class was about bondage, sadism, and other fetishes.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>So that answers my question. This woman gets off on being watched, getting attention and being used. Perhaps SHE should have paid the professor for the experience.</p>

38

<p>OMG. We have crossed paths and I know this man. Back in the day, I knew him as a brilliant statistician, and doing some ground-breaking work on the genetics of homosexuality. </p>

<p>I guess he moved on to other things. Just wow.</p>

<p>I took a human sexuality class in college back in the late 1970s. The professor showed porn films and demonstrated the proper way to put on a prophylactic, using a dildo as ersatz male organ. This stuff is hardly new. The “live demo” is a bit over-the-top, but nowadays one needs a little something extra to attract the attention of jaded college students. I mean, is there a college student alive who hasn’t yet figured out how to view porn of all sorts on the Internet?</p>

<p>Well, if there are students who are interested in those subjects, it,s certainly better to learn about them in a college classroom than almost any other place. And this happened in the context of a psychology and sexuality class, not that much different than a chemistry lab.</p>
