Northwestern University sex toy show 'disturbing'

Gerald · 03-03-11, 05:43 PM

A US university president has said he is "disturbed" that a psychology professor allowed a demonstration of a motorised sex toy in a lecture hall.

Morton Schapiro of Northwestern University called the decision to allow a naked woman to demonstrate use of the device last month "poor judgement".

About 100 students observed the proceedings following a lecture session for a class on human sexuality.

Attendance was voluntary and students had been warned what to expect.

Controversial topics

On 21 February, psychology professor Michael Bailey held a lecture on sexual arousal, with a focus on certain aspects of female physiology, according to a statement he released on Wednesday.

Sure we have all seen it on our computers, but a live performance?!

A class on human sexuality....

Adults were warned what to expect....

Attendance was voluntary....

Hmmm = whats the problem?

Heck - most women would say that the majority of guys need to know and understand more about female sexuality anyway.....

Human sexuality is alot more around than you realize - heck most weekends any given area has a local group having a "munch" (with or without after-party) in a restaurant.

The only reason why people might complain is that the chick is too ugly
or the professor has different tastes than the students

One of my friends is in the class that this demonstration was held for. He seems to be fine with the idea because it seems the professor gave a due warning about how explicit the material was going to be. If people attended and still had problems, then it's a matter of them misjudging what they can handle. Simple as.

gimpy117 · 03-03-11, 08:35 PM

yeah...they were told not to show up if they couldn't handle it. whoever is raising concerns is...well...just trying to make a scene.

Growler · 03-03-11, 08:38 PM

<--wasn't there.
<--isn't disturbed anyway.

To hear some of the BS the stupid press is spewing, you'd think that the above demonstrated demographic is psychotically disturbed for life merely by the concept of the germination of the emergence of the possibility of the very thought that someone had an orgasm in a room full of people.

He didn't say... Maybe that brings up some questions about my friend?

I know that's one thing I would have taken into consideration.

If you think a naked women getting done by a sex machine in front of a class is a study on human sexuality,...geesh. If all the guys are sitting there with erections, I can assure nothings getting through their brain.
If that would teach college kids anything they would be smart enough from all the internet porn. Heck, why not bring in two people then, gay couples, etc.. and let em have an orgy, talk about a crash course.
