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.

DISCUSSION ABOUT:
Yale University includes questionable and controversial aspects in their "sex education" Program.

At Beijing University, they study physics, biology and chemistry.
At Yake, they study sex toys.
Who owns the future?
"We need that list of conservative colleges on this thread.
"
How come? Don't they know about this stuff? I guess there's no sex on their campuses.
Tittilation used to be an off-campus thing, you know, at the titti-bar.
Excellent point. I will admit I don't know anything about universities outside of the US. How do the social aspects compare?

The students at universities outside the USA all practice abstinence, from what I understand. Sexual activity by young adults is frowned upon in Europe and other parts of the world.
So, the students devote all their energy to their studies, rather than on finding sex partners.
Yeah...that's the ticket.....
For the lurkers:
There is a difference between university promoted depravity and normal sexual relations between husbands and wives. Promotion of vice is not the job of universities, especially those that suck tax money.
heh...heh...you said "suck". heh...heh...
"There is a difference between university promoted depravity and normal sexual relations between husbands and wives."
There certainly is. That's why most of our fine college students refrain from sexual activity until their married. Then, they confine it to those times of the month when the wife is fertile. It wouldn't be proper to have sex just for the enjoyment of it, after all.
That's why all conservative youths should only attend good conservative colleges and universities...preferably ones sponsored by bible-believing churches. There is no sexual activity at all among students at those schools.
Thank you for pointing this out, little jeremiah.
becoming?
The ARE a JOKE!
I am betting within all our lifetimes, a brick and mortar degree will have the same value as a home study course.
there will be some "well rounded individual" university study programs of the traditional style, but they will be rare, select, and not relevant to the general job market.
If I didn't know you better, I would think you were being sarcastic.:)
Me? Sarcastic? Perish the thought...
Banana republics beat our own kids in math and science, and Yale graduates Marxists who do not know squat about engineering . . .
but by golly, there WILL be sex on campus.
The fat lady has already sung on the USA. No forecast is needed.
This will only get worse until school alums (any school, not just Yale) turn-off the money faucet and tell the schools to shape up or go broke. But the alums aren't doing that, are they? So who's really to blame?
I'm teaching about Rome this month in world history. My kids are amazed at the depravity of the Roman upper classes during the early Empire. Maybe they'll make the connection when they're invited to the sex carnival at Yale.
Here's one that I previously mentioned: College of the Ozarks. Their web page states:
First PLACE Character Trait for FebruaryTheir spiritual goal is:
Honesty - being truthful in what you say and do
To foster the Christian faith through the integration of faith with learning, living, and service.It's a place that some on this thread simply cannot understand, and because it is beyond them, they mock those who take pride in what they believe.
So we should issue sex toys to everyone, the sooner the better, and expect that every kid from 12 on is going to engage in every kind of sexual activity anyone can think up and then some, all with the university/public school seal of approval.
That'll make the world a better place, reduce unwanted pregnancy, STDs and promote happy marriages and stable familes, yessirreebob!
Who needs standards or morals anyway, they're so outdated.
But I doubt it. You'd probably enjoy it..
However, I expect every person to treat every other person with a certain degree of courtesy and respect, unless that person behaves in a dangerous, threatening, or discourteous manner.
I've noticed that you seldom (if ever) treat Christians courteously. You are uniformly rude and disrespectful to anyone who utters a Christian thought. You can choose to be an athiest if you so desire, but that doesn't give you the right to be discourteous and disrespectful to those of us who believe.
Either live up to your own profile page, change that page, or (preferably, based on all my experiences with you) move on to a different site where you fit in better.
