NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- In a lecture hall on Yale's storied Old Campus, not long after an afternoon astronomy class has cleared out, a middle-aged sex toy saleswoman demonstrates her technique and hands out free products to an eager crowd.
"I want you to close your eyes," Patty Brisben playfully instructs a young man as she rubs scented lotion into his forearm and, to raucous laughter, reaches for an electric toy and a glove. "Fantasize about having an all-over body massage."
Welcome to Sex Week at Yale, a biennial celebration that has become one of the most provocative campus events in the country.
Organizers say Sex Week gets students talking about sex in a way that's more relevant than middle-school film strips, more honest than movies and television, and more fun than requisite college health lectures.
"To get people's attention, we do have to do things a little risque and a little different than other sex education programs," said junior Dain Lewis, who was inspired to direct Sex Week 2006 after attending the 2004 event.

$45K a year....go figure.
Yale, no less. Colleges are really becoming a joke.
This is going on at Bill Clinton's alma mater????
I want to go back to school.
I think we are up to about $47,500, if you want buy books.
"Yale, no less. Colleges are really becoming a joke."
No fooling! Imagine...all those college kids being interested in sex. What has this world come to?
There was certainly no sexual stuff going on back in the late 60s when I was in college. We seem to be going to Heck in a handbasket, eh?
I believe this is pretty much standard for most colleges today.
Well, thank goodness colleges are finally doing something to bring this information out of the shadows and into plain view! There's just not enough free exchange of this type of knowledge. Myself, if I could only figure out a way to "longer more powerful erections" or how to "impress [my] girl with a huge...". But no way some helpful information like that would ever find its way to me.
(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
Gimme your e-mail address...I'll forward my spam to you. ;o)
Can't figure it out for themselves, eh?
M.A. List. We need that list of conservative colleges on this thread.
Fortunately the other 50 weeks a year Yale is as chaste as a convent of ugly nuns.
Makes me wonder how they got in to Yale to begin with.
It's good they have this because if it weren't for college sex ed 19 year olds would have no idea what sex is.
This statement makes me think this article is more for promotional purposes than anything else.
I'll send out the M.A. Ping list but I don't want the thread to be pulled...so will try to edit the thread headline a bit and see if that's acceptable.
I stumbled into an "Act Up!" dance at Yale about 12 years back. I didn't hang around long.
