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.

Why are you getting snarky with little jeremiah? What are lj's morals and desire to transmit them to the next generation to you?
You concerned that someone might instil some unwanted character into kids somewhere?
What's your issue? What's bothering you? Speak in declarative sentences, and tell us what you really want. Get real a minute.
Bump.
"Hopefully you'll pop the old "girls gone wild" video in the DVD player one day and see your own daughter/sister/niece being exploited sexually, perhaps then you'll understand.."
I never look at pornography, so that would never happen. I have zero interest in porn.
"I've noticed that you seldom (if ever) treat Christians courteously. You are uniformly rude and disrespectful to anyone who utters a Christian thought. "
Well, that's actually not true. I treat all Christians courteously who treat non-Christians courteously. So, I'm quite true to my profile.
For Christians who treat non-Christians discourteously, I have no such rule.
Further, when I read someone saying something particularly sanctimonious, I often reply with some sarcasm.

"What's your issue? What's bothering you? Speak in declarative sentences, and tell us what you really want. Get real a minute."
OK. Sanctimoniousness is my issue. What I want is for people to recognize that sexuality among college age students is a commonplace, and not some earth-shaking issue.
I am always real. Little Jeremiah wrote a little screed about some university where there was a forum on sexuality. That sort of thing happens at most universities, and it's a good thing, since college students sometimes get themselves in over their heads. This little sex toys demonstration is not the end of the world, you see.
So, I wrote a somewhat sarcastic response to LJ's screed, trying to point out that even, at the nicest Christian colleges, students are engaging in sexual activities. It is a normal behavior for college age students, and education is a good thing in that case.
Which is why you're all over this thread of course.
I agree - you're very sanctimonious.
But maybe you would call that progress.
PS: We all just love hearing over and over how you got lucky every now and then during the Age of Aquarius.
Stop trying to use logic with an emotional topic! LOL
I've never seen it. And I've run into you on lots of threads. Seems that to you discourteous means saying anything pro-God or anti homosexual agenda.
"It is a normal behavior for college age students"
What is normal in your world may not be so normal in anothers.
