Northwestern Prof Hosts Live After-Class Sex Show (With Sex Toys)Mar 3, 2011 – 10:16 AM .READING THIS NOW


Higher education can do more than stimulate the mind.

Students in the popular and provocative human sexuality course at Northwestern University were invited for an optional demonstration after class on Feb. 21 in which a naked woman was penetrated by a sex toy until she reached sexual climax, The Daily Northwestern reported.

About 120 students voluntarily stayed for the extracurricular activity organized by professor John Michael Bailey. Guest speaker Ken Melvoin-Berg, co-owner of Weird Chicago Tours, led the "Network for Kinky People" panel, which included several women.

Before a woman onstage disrobed, students were repeatedly advised that they would see explicit content.

The woman then used a machine with a graphic name to stimulate herself to the point of ejaculation, a topic that had been recently covered in class, Bailey said.

"It was a fun and educational experience," Melvoin-Berg told the Chicago Tribune. The students ""seemed to be incredibly pleased. We had a number of them that got closer and closer."

The rousing performance caused controversy on campus and around Chicago, leading Bailey to write a lengthy defense of his decision to allow the demonstratio

"I hesitated only briefly before saying yes. My hesitation concerned the likelihood that many people would find this inappropriate. ... [But] those still there had stayed for an optional demonstration/lecture about kinky sex and were told explicitly what they were about to see," Bailey wrote.

Bailey added that student feedback was "uniformly positive" and vowed to continue his fight against efforts "to silence sex research."

Bailey's class is one of the most popular at the college, with about 600 students registered for it. The semester is packed with other optional panels after class that have included talks with sex offenders and a question-and-answer session with a swinging couple.

The objectors aren't pissed because the session was held, they're pissed because they didn't think to sign up for the class, or weren't given a free pass despite having nothing to donwith the class.

I still remember my 6th grade sex ed class; the gym teacher taught it, and described masterbation as a "way to make the welling go down." My mom found that hilarious.

I don't recall any sex education in school, other than what we learned from Playboy, or heard from others.

My alma mater had a very interesting human sexuality class. The highlight was the survey, and the results were eye opening.

Age (Median)
Male :21.5
Female: 20.5

Number of lifetime sex partners:

Male: 8
Female: 18.5

In short, there are a few guys getting a whole lot, and most guys getting just a lttle.

Hmmm.....

Back in college, the sex ed class was infamous for it's female masturbation and heterosexual films. Problem was the class was 95%+ male.

One semester I signed up for a 3rd year Spanish class. Now THAT was the place to be! I was the only guy surrounded by 29 gals, and they were competing for my attention!

CTQWERTY,

I go to a yearly seminar for officers of my motorcycle group. We meet and have different sessions. One I enjoy is when all the same officer positions meet together. I am the secretary of my local group, so I meet with all the other secretary's. Guess what, most are women! :) Enjoyable!

I can't figure out WTF the stink is all about. it's not like the students were forced to stay, or that they weren't told that this was going to be a "graphic" demonstration of human sexuality. no, they were informed and all of them are adults, so why is anyone complaining? no, wait, let me guess: someone thinks sex is something we don't talk about for fear of "contaminating" our 'young folks'.
fuckin' idiots!
