Students in a “Sexual Communication” course at North Carolina State University recently hosted a sex-themed campus science fair of sorts, reports The Technician student newspaper in the aptly headlined article: “Getting a Rise Out of Students.”
There was the chocolate breast cake with whipped cream. The S&M booth. The sex toys display. You get the picture.
The Technician reports:
Aside from a good grade, the prize for the winning group was permission to skip the final exam.
While (one) group was the one focusing primarily on discerning myths from facts, other groups emanated similar sentiments.
For instance, students devoted one booth toward S&M, or sadism and masochism, education.
“There’s a lot of negative stigma around S&M,” Sarah Alston Trent, a junior in political science and a group representative, said. “It isn’t just about hurting each other, it’s more about an intimate connection. It’s more intense than a typical sexual relationship.”
… As people walked from booth to booth, representatives greeted them in various topic-specific ways.
Ravyn Tyndall invited people to rub lotion on their hands and then to blow on it, creating a warming effect. She gave information about the product, citing its low price.
“If you think about it, it’s just a happy meal, get it?” Tyndall, a senior in communications, said.
Tyndall’s group’s table was decorated with red candles and rose petals, two chocolate cakes in the shape of a pair of breasts and Hershey’s kisses organized to spell “SEX,” among other things.
The group focused on aphrodisiacs’ pertinence to the five senses. Tyndall explained how each sense could be stimulated to produce arousal.
On the same table were several pairs of dice and a small, red roulette wheel. They were modified to include suggestions for sexual activities and positions.
Do students really need to take a class in sexual communication? Nowadays they could probably teach it.
