The professor who taught the now-infamous Pasadena City College class “Navigating Pornography” – dedicated entirely to the ins and outs of the genre – has axed the course.
According to the Pasadena Star-News:
Pasadena City College’s self-titled “Porn Professor” announced this week he will not offer the class again in the near future after pressures from the college and social media sent him to psychological rehab last week.
Professor Hugo Schwyzer has offered his Humanities 3 class, which he called “Navigating Pornography,” twice at PCC, but this spring the class received backlash from the college and the community after media reports of a guest lecture by porn star James Deen that Schwyzer tried to open up to the public.
Schwyzer said the pressure from PCC as well as online hatred he receives daily on social media because of his other writings on gender issues, have led him to the decision to no longer teach the class. That and an extramarital affair led him to take a step back and focus on his personal life, he said.
“I’m exhausted by threats and controversy,” Schwyzer said via email Wednesday. “I need a break.”
