Northwestern Cans Popular Sexuality Course After Live Sex Act Demo

They seem to forget that these "KIDS" are adults. If the people taking the class and the instructors don't have a problem with it, no one should. And if their are any a-holes taking the class that are complaining, then their to stupid to be in college.

Granted, these "kids" are adults and have seen, or experienced, much of this already; there are places you can go to pay and watch those kinds of shows. It's definitely not classroom material! And, shouldn't the woman who was "performing" have been arrested for indecent exposure in a public place? If it's all good and right, then why didn't this prof have her demonstrate out on the campus square? He's a perv.

You are right Snooz,they could have gone anyplace to see that but they chose to stay in that class to see it. At any time they could have dropped the class if they were offended. The only people that seem to be offended by this are a bunch of people who have only read about it or seen it on the news. And yet i have not heard anything from anybody in that classroom being treated for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Kim: It should be "they're too stupid..." LOL! No offense, but I just had to point that fact out.

Another example how higher education has deteriorated to the lowest possible point. Wake up folks America is following in the steps of Rome befoe it fell. Do you really think college students need to have this kind of crap taught to them by some idiot prof who would better fit as a shock jock aka Howard Sterns ilk?

Boy! Am I glad I’m not one of your kids; the morals of some people in this country are sure in the toilet.

Your exact words--Why is it that when one incident happens, anything related to it is instantly cut out, shut down, or banned from occurring again?

My questions to you, is that inclusive of rape and acts of pedphilia?

I know you meant well, but young emotions run rampant without consequential thought.

Boy, you sure are making a lot of assumptions and passing them off as established facts; you must know this professor personally and have information the rest of aren't privy to, because nothing in this article demonstrates a structurally "relativist" viewpoint on behalf of this person. And nothing shows an "anything goes" attitude, either. I'm sure there are a lot of things he wouldn't "go" for and didn't--he could have done the demo himself, but didn't; he could have invited the students to participate in the demo, but didn't; he could have made attendance mandatory and testable, but didn't, etc. I think a better argument could be made that YOU are a relativist: his way of teaching his material is inappropriate or harmful relative to the way that YOU think it should be taught. By that estimation, we're all "relativist"; a family down my block thinks it's immoral for women to wear any makeup whatsoever, while the organist and other women in my church don't think it's immoral at all. Relative positions, wouldn't you say? And finally, his statement about the media response to this incident isn't in any way intolerant or judgmental about people who have different moral views; he made a simple statement of fact that the media response reveals stark differences in attitudes, and it does. No judgement there; he's not bashing anybody. I suspect you have a bee in your bonnet about whatever you think relativisim is and decided to try and "smear" this guy with that term, thinking that calling him a "relativist" tells us all we need to know about him. It kind of tells us more about you.

I agree with you, but on the other hand, a womans body is a work of art, very attractive, a mans body is not isn't as attractive. I think this is why you see more of the female body shown. My thoughts anyway.

Says who, CBJ? I think men's bodies are very attractive and that is also up to the beholder. Not every woman's body is a work of art. My question is was this important to teach the class and it would appear that it wasn't.

Yes, but there are no dangerous myths and stereotypes surrounding pimple popping. Sex and all the flavors and forms it comes in, however, remain shrouded in mystery and ignorance for most people. That's why courses like this are important They banish that ignorance. A live demonstration is useful because you can't change the camera angle during porn or have the woman explain. There's also the fact that porn is largely faked so what you see onscreen isn't genuine emotion or practical behavior. A live demonstration would be more honest; a less idealized way of presenting a fetish or form of sexuality that's often considered "sick" or "wrong" and is in fact simply misunderstood.
