Subscribe to RSSA University of Illinois residence hall reportedly brought in a former porn star to educate student residents in a week-long sex education seminar.
The program, which began Feb. 3, featured former porn star Annie Sprinkle and ended Thursday with an "orgasm workshop," according to a blog post by campusreform.org.
The program, hosted by resident community Unit One, included speeches by Sprinkle about life as a porn star, a presentation on "Eco-sexology," a free sidewalk sex Clinic, and a screening of "Annie Sprinkle's Amazing World of Orgasm."
The week reportedly involved hands-on, but not nude, participation from University of Illinois students and was funded with student fees paid by residents of the community, the blog reported.
Sprinkle, an internationally known artist, visits colleges around the country to teach sex education and her work is frequently used in educational programs and equal rights campaigns.
This seminar is not the first time she has presented at the university, as she spoke at the school nearly two years ago. But as she expanded her sex talks to the campus' Allen Hall at the end of the week, community members and students had mixed reactions to the racy films and clips, the Daily Illini reported.

They just raised tuition. Again. For this?
Obviously reading comprehension isn't your strong point.
"funded with student fees paid by residents of the community"
gbgentleman, student fee charges were included in my tuition. They had to be paid regardless of my participation in any social activities on campus. So Yankee Boy might be right. When our tuition increased, I noticed an upcharge in the mandatory student fees. Bummer.
Yeah, tuition and student fees might have increased, but I think what gbgentleman was trying to point out was that hiring her was not a major reason for the increase. Tuition increases every year at most major universities.
" The world, it is a changin' " When I was at University, my primary focus was on finding innovative ways to avoid detection so that I could smuggle extra tacos and sandwiches from the dining hall back to my dorm room (for those late night study session 'munchies').
I can't help but wonder how a week-long sex seminar, conducted in my dorm by "Little Oral Annie" herself, might have modified my habitually tenuous and distracted study habits, and made me a much more focused and attentive student?
Tuition would have gone up regardless if they would have hired this person or not. Besides, just because you pay tuition, doesn't mean you get to dictate the content of the courses. When I was in college there were plenty of courses that I thought were not worth being taught or that I disagreed with, but that didn't mean that I had a legitimate gripe about my tuition and student service fees. I have no problem with this course being taught on a college campus as part of this particular curriculum.
The only bad word in any American school is "Jesus." Only one. Only course that cannot be taught in any American school is "Jesus.
Other than that, anything and everything goes.
It is a public university open to people of all faiths and religions. Why should Jesus be taught?
You have your religion. Others have theirs. There is no reason to subject other people to a religion or deity in which they do not believe in. It is beyond my understanding why some Christians always try to do just that.
Cant blame them, the Judeo Christian History was a big part of our history of our fathers who came here. There was no muslims, hindu, bhudda discussions.. Christian God was our focus, and we looked up to him as our stepping stone, our absolute authority on morality. Take that away and now you get a huge diverse society who is in constant clashing with one another, and this whole political correctness garbage. No wonder america is falling apart. Now look at this trash were teaching in shcools.. Porn star classes ? Society is really degrading.
@Gbgentleman:
That may be so, but it doesn't say that just students who were attending were paying.
And it's hosted by reslife, which is generally supported in part by tuition.
Too true Marmaduke. If this was something not funded by mandatory fees then why would it be our concern? Those students own their own bodies, and so if they want to pay out of their own pocket to attend a sex seminar they should be free to do so. They should not be regaled for uplifting our culture though.
I think this is just one more sign, among literally millions of other signs, that our society continues to degrade and devolve, where licentiousness replaces liberty, and the freedom to figuratively pee in the community punchbowl is now seen as a high form of citizenship. If by college age these students aren't already aware of how to put on a condom, or how to give or get fellatio, then wouldn't it make more sense for the people who support this garbage to go and find their previous elementary and secondary school teachers who've failed in that task and, well, pecker slap them?
Liberal arts education is anything but.
Did you read the article? This. Is. Not. A. Class! It is a week-long seminar on sex-education! You know what a seminar is right? [Seminar: "any group or meeting for holding discussions or exchanging information" freedictionary.com]
Really? So a seminar in sex-education is the mark of a degrading society? What about a seminar in yoga? or healthy lifestyles seminar? Are those the signs of a degrading society too?
Why don't you go back in time and tell that to the slaves, women and native Americans.
"Did you read the article? This. Is. Not. A. Class!"
Did you read the title?
Um...Yeah. And it reads:
"Porn star teaches sex seminar at the University of Illinois." -Current headline nbcnews.com
A seminar and a class are two different things, my friend.
Ended with an orgasm workshop huh? Something about that makes me feel like hearing that sound of someone scratching a blackboard.
Yep, because you know it takes a PhD to be a porn star these days. You can tell by their artistic and dramatic lines. "My car has a flat... Do you have a jack?" "No, but I can "F!" Oh, then lets "F" in the back seat, maybe someone will come along and fix my tire, then we can have a threesome!"
Good quality education there!
Oh, the sweet irony. The jokes just write themselves! ;-)
Google her name, you might change your mind.
Government student loans put to good use.
Next, let's have Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski give a seminar on giving and receiving a 'blow job' in the Oval Office. We killing Iraqi, Yemeni, Afghani and Pakistani to preserve these liberties.
The Company.....Actually Timothy1Mil makes a very valid point. We can't teach religion as an alternative way of living but we can certainly teachabout all the things that religion may dis-approve of or disagree with. Schools to day actually teach gay lifestyle as OK and "normal" when in the eyes of anyone who truely lives a christian lifestyle for example disagrees. I undrstand our President and vice President have both made pro gay comments. They are either lying to us , lying to themselves or lying to the church when they go there.
For our schools, high schools and colleges to teach these alternatives but not teach religion as one of those alternative is wrong. I am not saying we should have bible study classes or prayer time but calsses that teach what the majority still beleives and that is the christian lifestyle.We can teach pornography and homosexuality and evolutionism and other ways of thinking but we can't teach that many people have a faith based lifestyle too.
A porn star giving hands on instruction in sex ed. What else is there to say?
Where do you sign up?
I guess the current title "Eco-sexology" is keeping up with trends and does sound better than "Green Sex."
I wouldnt have a porn star teaching anything.. Its like your advocating porn sex. Just have sex with whom ever any time you want. Thats my point.
Not all Christian American felt this way. There is nothing biblical about civil slavery as with blacks, chinese, irish ect ect . Wrong is wrong.
"...community members and students had mixed reactions to the racy films and clips..."
Um, gee, what were they expecting to see when they signed up for a porn star doing a seminar on sex? The Lion King? Pinnochio? Perhaps those offended aren't smart enough to go to college.
Not smart enough if your offended ? So then your advocating just free will sex with every one under the sun ? With no thought of the repercussions of such actions ?
While the Chinese and other countries' college students are studying and advancing technology, studying sciences, America's students are studying orgasims. Garbage in=garbage out.
I have no problem with schools teaching about Jesus as long as it is under a fictional use similar to Peter Pan or the Easter Bunny. The bible has never been confirmed to be fact so therefor it is fiction. If you want to have a seminar on the bible in this context, then by all means go ahead, but don't tell me to teach it to my children as a fact based literature. I alone decide what fiction I want my children to believe in until they are old enough to make their own decisions.
I guess we're going to have to change their name from the "Fighting Illini" to the "F**king Illini"!
On the 7th day God rested....On the 8th day hell spit out the savage Liberal...Religious Racists like Brenda
Sex lessons from a porn star. Kinda like getting investing advice from Bernie Madoff or biking racing tips from Lance Armstrong. Credible, but probably over the top.
To be fair Brenda, even academic atheists believe Jesus was a real person.
There is a big difference between believing a man named Jesus lived and that he is the son of God.
Why? Why should I or anyone be "forced" to learn about the christian lifestyle just because the majority believes it?
Go to a parochial school if you want to learn about christian lifestyle. It is not the job of teachers to teach students what faith is acceptable.
Christians always complain about people forcing their lifestyle on them. But look at your post. Look at what you are advocating. You want to force people, who may not believe in your faith, to learn about it. To accept it. Sounds awfully lot like a religion in the middle east, doesn't it.
It is not a schools job to teach morality, or what lifestyle is right or wrong. If you think being gay is immoral, fine. Not everyone agrees. Schools do not promote any lifestyle. They treat all students equally, gay or straight. As they should.
I guess the question whether or not she provided some useful information?
there is the engineer's equation - (written out in words since I can't do "symbols' - The integral starting at "e' and going to "x' = a function of "u" raised to the power "n". for those mathematically challenged - it looks like "Sex-fun"
what's the big deal? sex is a normal function of human beings. SOME are just better equipped to "instruct". Then that CAN, DO. Them that can't DO, teach. Them that can neither DO nor TEACH just become CRITICS
Brenda, you did compare him to Peter Pan and you did use the word fiction. You should be clear on that.
came to class early... said the young pimple face boy...with the wet spot in his jeans...
Convieniently The Company... you take just a very small fragment of my comment to high light your view and miss the entire point behing the post. The Bible is a big big part of American culture. To prohibit this part of our history is public schools is wrong. In fact we should teach a class of religion which reaches out to ALL forms of recognized religion and atheism. The problem with that of course in your view is most if not all would not condone homosexuality except the athiest and therefore not be good for the gay movement. If we are to teach our children to be open minded then we must give them all sides of an issue not simply the liberal view.
I thought I was very clear. The bible is listed in the fiction section of the library for a reason and yes I compared Jesus to a Peter pan, because Peter Pan had fictional powers too. Should I have used Santa Clause, because evidently he was a real person at one time too that later was bestowed with mystical powers.
I think you'd be surprised at the number of religions that have no problem with homosexuals.
I agree. But that is not what you are trying to do. You want to teach the Christian side, Christian morals and values.
I totally agree with you that kids should be left in an environment that encourages open-minded thinking.But how can you not see that teaching them that being gay is "wrong", or Jesus is our savior is the complete opposite of openness.
The Company - You're an intellectual freaking idiot of the highest sick order! You go from porno to gayness to describe morality in a classroom. The left-wing academia pigs are suppose to teach the future generations of this twisted nation how to be productive and responsible in society. Not how to have freakin' orgies. So get you damn head out of the toilet for once! Everyone of these idiots who approved of this sick class should be fired, tenure or no tenure. If this was a public university and my kid attended that class, it would be the last day at that university. This is what good old fashion values has been taught to our children by the most liberal and sickess f$#ks in education. A damn class on porno, you got to be freaking kidding!
These "children" you're referring to are ADULTS. They are deemed, by society, old enough to make their own decisions. Therefore it's the CHOICE of the INDIVIDUAL to attend such a seminar. This is not a mandatory activity and a degree isn't dependant on having attended any seminar. What I find sad is that you'd deprive your "child" of an education for attending something so inconsequential as this. I hope your child/children don't ever find out that they were a product of *gasp* intercourse!
Posey - I don't care if they are adults. This is a public University and I do not want my tax dollar going to further the degenerate education these liberal a$$holes are teaching kids/adults.
What I find pathetic is that you would see this crap as acceptable for them to learn! What you would call "education" is a freaking joke. And I do not give a damn if it is a seminar or not. This is how we produce the "You owe me" generation, by teaching degenerate useless crap to kids, 18 yrs old and up! How about encouraging them to attend a seminar that will teach them to be a better or more productive person, such as an innovator or leader in the field of engineering or sciences, instead of learning sex from a slut who prostituted herself as means to give head in life [sic] and not get a head in life?
I suggest you re-read my posts. Preferably with a dictionary in hand because you clearly have no idea what I was getting at. I never claimed that porn should be used to teach morality. How dare you accuse me of such. My point is that morality should not be taught. Your morality, my morality, the neighbor down the streets morality are all different by various degrees.
In order to teach morality, You have to set a precedent-which morality is right? Is yours? Is mine? There is no way to know. I don't want my kids learning your morality, because frankly, I think yours is wrong. And you think mine is wrong. See the issue here?
Nature tells us that being gay is wrong. If everyone "chose to be gay the human race would be gone . Not is 200 years or 2000 but in less than 100 years man would be extinct. Just the facts. We have to reproduce to survive plain and simple. The truth is called hate by those who won't see the truth but it still remains the truth. I am not taling morality. I have never suggested that gays are bad people. But I will always stand on my positon that the gay lifestyle is not in our best intrest as a race or as a country.
I suggested an experiment a while back and got no reponse. I suggested we confine 100 straight couples so they can not gather with anyone other than each other and thier children. We do the same with 100 gay couples. In 80 years we tally the results. If ANY offspring are produced by a gay couple I will conceed . I believe that the gay group will be long since gone since they have a 20 year shorter life expectancy.
Wow. You truly do not understand.
People do not choose to be gay. That's not how it works. Your sexual preference is not a choice. How is that not common knowledge by now?
There is compelling research that shows that being gay is a genetic anomaly that occurs. Do you choose to have cancer? Of course not. But genetic defects will cause it to happen. Same thing with homosexuality.
Nature does not tell us anything. Homosexuality regularly occurs in nature. There are animals that are homosexual.
There are couples that choose not have kids. There are couples that can't have kids. Does this make their marriage immoral as well? What's the difference between an infertile couple and a gay couple? The idea that marriage is about producing offspring is an ancient way of thinking. The human race is over-populated anyway. Marriage should be about a couple sharing their happiness.
WHO DO YOU EXPECT them to hire.. NANCY GRACE????????????
Better yet, Nancy Pelosi...
did you ever notice that you never see Nancy Grace and Miss Piggy in the same place?
Just sayin'
@Glenn Ew ew ew ew!!!
I would like Nancy to take a turn in the barrel on that topic. I bet she would be tongue tied and stupid on the topic.......
Dammit Glen.....I just ate.
Geez Glen! People are gearing up for Valentines Day for for Christ's sake then you throw that image on us!
Nancy Pelosi does a pretty good pole dance.
michele bachman? (need brain bleach for that image visual)
What a thorough and complete waste of much needed funds for Universities. Wonder can the U of I please explain why Sex Ed is an important subject in College!
I would bet that this woman had an inside contact to approve of such.
To all parents who kids attend U of I, is this what you are paying for and why you remortaged your home so you child can learn about Orgasims!
sillyshrinks, This woman doesn't know her a$$ from a hole in the ground, otherwise she wouldn't treat it as such for the world to see! I agree with you totally, what they ought to teach these kids is a course on "Credit"! How to play the game called reality with a bank, and what would be the repercussions. Borrowing more than you can pay back,or if it sounds to good to be true,you better believe it is! The common sense things the fortunate kids heard from their parents and now from their Professor's if they didn't. So they do not blame the Bank for their top heavy mortgages and a trip to bankruptcy court. Teach them common sense so they don't have to find out the hard way. Like the kids at other University's who are already finding out about sex in the dorm's and Frat Houses of America! What would be more important? A class to give your child financial freedom or how to properly get yourself off from a whore?
To both of the above:
sillyshrinks: Do you take yourself seriously? Because I can't. Work on your spelling, grammar, using full sentences, etc, read the rest of this comment (if you can), and then, if you can actually come up with a well-educated response, as opposed to what you spat out above, try again.
fenderbluesjr: It is those who are not sexually educated that often end up with the unexpected pregnancies, and judging by their said lack of education, despite the abundance of educational resources in our world today, they will most likely play the system and suck out as many of our tax dollars as they can to support their iPhones and other ridiculously unnecessary goods. So, either pay for the education (which you, as well, really need to invest in), or pay for someone else's lack of responsibility. Your call.
But personally, I am sick and tired of seeing parents in the checkout line, baby in arm, iPhone in hand, and Bluetooth in ear, paying with food stamps. That's OUR hard-earned money that SHOULD be helping those who really need it, and helping me get through college so I can go out and make a difference in the world. But no, you're right. We should be content with uneducated being sexually uninformed and instead let our tax dollars pay for their ridiculous lifestyle afterward.
I do attend the University of Illinois (Computer Science (yeah, the Engineering kind)), and Annie also visited one of our gen-ed classes during her stay to give a guest lecture. Her story was actually incredibly interesting, and the fact that she has lived her entire life doing what she wants to do, regardless of what the uneducated part of our society might think or say, is something that we can all learn from.
Read a book.
Couldn't find anybody more qualified as an educator other than a retired porn actor who usually "faked" it, maybe thats what she was teaching is how to fake it!!
cvm23: I totally agree with you on people with babies in their arms, paying for groceries with food stamps and I'd also add in line at welfare offices seeking aid, and next thing you know they have iphones, ipads, and even better they drive a nearly new car. I just have to wonder where does that money come from? I am a Democrat but I sure don't approve of people milking the system, and country like that. Yeah, I know there is an employment problem but I suspect these people never sought employment in the first place.
Cool
Good evening VR, unfortunate there was an echo from the cave resonating close by.
Can I audit the class?
better yet - "Can I be a teaching tool?"
While the Chinese and other countries' college students are studying and advancing technology, studying sciences, America's students are studying orgasims. Garbage in=garbage out.
Oh my god aggie lighten up. Who would want a curriculum of nothing but science and math? Maybe an autistic...Most people need some fun in their lives.
"Oh my god aggie lighten up. Who would want a curriculum of nothing but science and math? Maybe an autistic"
How about engineers and the other people who do things such as designing the terminal that you are using?
"Most people need some fun in their lives.":
That is one of the damn problems with LIBERALISM. College is NOT for having fun, it`s for learning. Just like prison is supposed to be a place of punishment and misery, not working out, watching TV and having cake for lunch, but that`s what it is, again, thanks to Liberalism.
I need 1 on 1 teaching, group sessions just don't work for me.
You need a tutor? For this? Oh, wait...can I have your spot in the group session?
Sounds good to me.........
brenda1964
More is know about Jesus than George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or Obama. People were willing to be tortured and murdered because they refused to deny what they knew to be true, that Jesus Christ had in fact been raised from the dead. Those who had abandoned him or denied knowing Him were transformed into people who were willing to die to share the hope they have in Jesus.
Jesus taught and lived a life where He put others before Himself. Christians are encouraged to do the same. Christianity is about believing and trusting God to do what we can't do; get ourselves right with a Holy, Just, and Righteous Creator. We all have sinned; we were all born with a sin nature that leads us to sin and rebel against a Holy and Righteous God.
Religion teaches man can get right with God through his own efforts. Atheists believe that there is no God and we all came about by a accident and from nothing. Christianity teaches us that God, Himself, made us right through Jesus Christ; that Jesus died for our sins and made us acceptable before God. There is no hate in Jesus or His teachings.
Yes, Christians are not sinless as our Savior. Yes, Christians have made a lot of mistakes throughout history, but it is not about us, but about our perfect, sinless, and Holy Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. Don't look at us Christians, because you will find a flawed ad sinful, but redeemed follower of Christ. Look upon the One, who Created you and died for your sins in order to make you Holy and acceptable before a Holy, Just, and Righteous God!
Mike, Christians if they are true to their faith, have every reason not to be sinful; Don't give me these " God is good but we are bad" type of theories; A born again CHRISTIAN does not lead a sinful life. Christ came into the world to save sinners just like a Doctor is available to cure a patient. Let's not make excuses for sin; Either you're a Christian or you're not. That's the problem! Too many people claim to be Christians, but their works tell a different story. You, as a Christian, are a light to the World; You, as a Wanna-be-but-cannot-be Christian, is phony, hypocritical, and reprobate. Jesus came to save you from your sins, not keep you content in your sins-Go figure! If we don't understand the whole concept of Salvation, how can we ever be free from sin? Don't be ignorant! Don't be deceived! Antichrists will tell you that you can lead a double life- but that's a LIE! How can you say that Christ has redeemed you when you're sticking to a flawed ad sinful life? Get a grip, Man Child! Get the word on good ground-then you will flourish. Wayside, Stony Ground, and Thorny Hearts can't receive the Goodness of God. If we want to be the Christian that the Word of God speaks of, We've got to submit to God fully and deny our self. God is not impressed with our lip service; God knows the Heart. And if your heart isn't in it, you're doing nothing but wasting your time. All of this will reveal the children of God from the children of the Devil. Christians must put sin in the "past tense" Mike. And it must stay in the "past tense" if we are to abide in Christ.
yo mikey - deluded much? NOTHING is known other than what was WRITTEN BY OTHERS AFTER THE FACT. IF he existed, HE didn't write a THING - it was entirely 2nd or 3rd hand. No go back to your brainwashing session
put a fork in it, not only were the gospel written 2nd and 3rd hand but Constantine and his group picked and chose what they wanted to be placed in the Bible. Every book about Jesus at the time were not placed in the Bible and more scriptures have since been uncovered.
Elder, perhaps that is the reason some people have left Christianity; when you say a Christian is expected to be just as perfect as Jesus was. I am a Christian, but I will willingly admit I've sinned (many times). I know that God will forgive me, just as Jesus forgave the criminal on the Cross that asked for it. Remember what Jesus told him, today you will be with me in Heaven.
Does anyone else feel like they woke up in an alternate universe??Oh yeah, I forgot. We are the nation of instant gratification and no one is ever wrong and we can do whatever we want because we have rights. I didn't realize how stupid people are until I heard they had to take a course to know how to have sex. While we are learning the right way to have an orgasm, other countries are teaching their students skills which will help make them rulers of people like us.
Ginger, I agree. Americans can't even find the United States on a map!! We are ranked 25th in math & science of 34 nations one study says. Employers say college graduates lack basic skills and critical thinking when joining the workforce. With these sad figures, it would seem the students should spend every available moment studying something useful.
For my postgraduate studies abroad, I have been literally begging for funds. If I had known the Unit One had money to burn, I would have contacted the University!! Dayum!!

Chill out.
This is a week long seminar, not an actual class. It is designed to teach students how to make sex fun, but also make it safe. Students are having sex anyway, might as well make a small investment so they can learn to do it in a way that minimizes risk while maximizing enjoyment.
To suggest that hosting this seminar is correlated to the falling educational standards is nothing short of absurd.
Company - If it takes a college seminar to teach these mental midgets how to make sex fun and make it safe I wonder if they should even be in college.
Seriously? It's a WEEK long seminar NOT a class. A seminar happens OUTSIDE of class. It's like taking a seminar on healthy cooking, riding a motorcycle or real estate. HOLY CRAP! people .. GET over it. The ONLY reason this made NBC's website is SO they can get hits to serve ads. sheesh. And some of you have the gaul to talk about who is stupid and who isn't. tsk tsk.
"It's a WEEK long seminar NOT a class."
It is according to MSN. Did you read the title?
@ aergern128,
"And some of you have the GAUL to talk about who is stupid and who isn't. tsk tsk."
While I agree with the basic sentiments you've stated, your use of words make YOUR intelligence questionable. "GAUL" is ancient France. I think the word you were looking for is "GALL", as in gall bladder. When taking someone to task for their intelligence it is best to check your own statement a second and then a third time lest you get hoisted on your own petard. Just saying....
This is the reason why so many countries are surpassing the US in education. They FOCUS on education, not liberal stupidity.
Merlin...good job.
yeah merlin - probably a good portion of the thumpers have never even seen a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION, let alone the inside of a college
@argumentativebutfair
Twice now you've referred people to read the title of the article when they pointed out that what's being talked about here is a week-long seminar, not a class. The title of the article says "seminar" so I'm not getting what you're trying to point out. Do you not understand that "seminar" and "class" are two different things in this context? That's what your posts say to me and the others who have commented. Please clarify. Or, just keep looking silly. Up to you.
I mean the link title.
Unfortunately, this crap is the norm taught in almost every public college and university. This is what a tenure professor teaches our children, how to be a damn loser and expect handouts from your government. Why, because the government owes you a free living! This is what you get from a bunch of dope smoking atheist drop-outs from the Sixties teaching your kids. And they expect a new pay raise every year to teach them more crap that is absolutely useless. I remember my college professor who taught Constitutional History. He was a POS from CAL Berkley. You couldn't get more radical and anti-American than this POS! Most of the class was about how the "Man" lied to you about the Constitution. The Bill of Rights where for the white privileged class. I was surprised that after each class, I didn't go outside and puke.
You do realize that some parents forbid the word sex to be mentioned in their homes don't you? They go off to college without the slightest idea what is involved in sex. Oh they have their ideas but is it better to let a young adult to be suddenly exposed to sex training in the back of a car or to be taught the safe way to enjoy it without getting pregnant? If a young adult wants to have sex no amount of saying "they shouldn't until they are married" going to stop them.
@ ROCCO
Look in a mirror if you want to see a real loser. People like you can resist an opportunity to get on a soap box and preach BS you know nothing about. Have a good day.
I did, I saw your dumba$$ staring back! And you still have not thank me for saving your life when I stopped a sh!t-eating dog from chasing you up a tree. See, my day is already better. Dickhead!
Actually I think it's a good idea. Who better to give a sex-ed class? ... if it's done with a bit of class & good taste (no pun intended).
Straight porn does not include condoms, typically, so I'm not sure a porn star is the best expert. There's also a lot of disease in the porn community because of it but they hide behind patient confidentiality.
No more so than in the general population. *Shrug*
@Anrkist: Not only that, but the porn industry sues anytime a state legislature tries to make them practice safe sex. So I really don't think a porn "star" is a good role model for safe sex.
Does anyone really believe college age students need sex education? If you don't know the possible results or dangers of unprotected sex by that age you don't need college. It's not a requirement for McDonalds.
I don't really think a porn star knows any more about orgasms than most people. Do you really think that the women in the films are having orgasms? The only ones that really have to are the men.
Guess you must watch a lot of porn.
You must know your skanks pretty well.
You guys should do a lttle research on the subject. Ms. Sprinkle's seminars are more about female empowerment and self-realization, then general sex ed. Her goal is is to help women learn to enjoy sex and achieve a normal orgasm.
And Larry, yes, most college students really need some for of sex education, since most school programs are of the "don't" variety, with no real education in them and they certainly are not getting them at home. Most get their idea of college from the frat-boy-movies that college life is all about hooking up and having sex as often as possible with a many people as possible. It was that way decades ago when I went to a fairly conservative university, and it pretty much is still that way. A seminar with a frank discussion about the perils and pitfalls of sex, along with it's positive aspects presented in an environment that's not constricted by the prudes of society is exactly what is needed by America's new adults, which is what college kids are; adults that are fully, legally capable of making their own decisions.
Female empowerment comes from saying NO 100% of the time! I am female and in my middle twenties and was home-schooled K-12 before attending university online. I do not wish to EVER do that because it is disgusting. I would NEVER enjoy it and am proud of that fact. I received a well-rounded academic background from home-schooling, contrary to the belief that all home-schooled students are from illiterate backwater counties and that home-schooling is cover for Sunday school. As a "disclaimer," I did receive a comprehensive moral education, MINUS sex ed, which is useless to me anyway because I have no intent of doing such things. My parents never had to worry about me dating, because only bad people have sex. School is for learning, not for socializing or screwing. Sex is disgusting and obsolete, since procreation can be achieved through scientific means and there is no longer a necessity to perform the act. To do so purely for its own sake means there is something wrong with you. There is nothing to be enjoyed about it, and if you do enjoy it then you must be a psychotic pervert. And someone who I don't want to associate with or have my tax dollars going to support.
hello lips...
Here's a nice white coat for you, it will keep you from hurting yourself...
Now have a seat over here and tell us about your child hood.
Me thinks Lips is trolling....
Something to keep my attention. That's my kind of seminar.
actually...it's a SEMEN-ar...and it's just another way to get your HEAD in the game....
Guys who don't take the class are considered PU$$IE$. Guys who act badly in class will be called D!CK$.
Just be careful that you don't SPEW too many rants against my comments.....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....
If it takes that to hold your attention, you probably shouldn't be in college.
Annie Sprinkle's - she must 70 years old by now. She should be learning how to give a man an orgasm. Start by wearing a mask.
It will be news when I hear a catholic university had this seminar.
Proving again that no one is ever to old to go back to school....and that old dogs can learn new tricks
Annie Sprinkle's I'm just kidding you honey. Carry on .
I've worked with a number of University of Illinois grads, and they're all as dumb as fenceposts.
Cool! Is the class available online? I will definitely enroll. This is the class you will learn from the pro.
Kids do need sex education! (and free and easy access to contraceptives)
(Grumpy Cat meme picture response to woodrat) No.
next they should bring in a pimp to talk about how empowering prostitution is for women
I know, right (rolls eyeballs)?
What ever happened to teaching reading, writing and arithmetic? What ever happened to teaching kids how to think critically?
Geez, what's next? Perhaps a class on the proper way to defecate and urinate?
Actually, "wiping."
Home-schooling is sufficient for those. But unless you expect parents or regular teachers to show and tell the kids about sexual activity, this seminar doesn't sound like a bad idea.
Reading, writing and arithmetic? You want college kids to be studying GRADE SCHOOL subjects? At what point do your children become adults able to handle adult subjects?
I don't think you should ever criticize our educational system again if your expectation is for colleges to be teaching "the 3 Rs". THAT'LL really get us some doctors, physicists and other professional people! NOT! If, as a parent, you're turning out 22 yr old children then you've failed your family, community, state and nation. Reading, writing and arithmetic indeed! Jeez.... Its YOUR kind of thinking that has us placed way down the list when being compared.
Well Merlin, since many students come to college with virtually zero writing and math skills and perhaps marginal reading skills; yes, we spend significant amounts of time doing the job that our primary and secondary schools have failed to do.
Liberals have enough ideas already...Please don't feed the trolls.
Well, joemike, if we just got rid of the athletic departments at our colleges and universities, we wouldn't have to worry about that. Unless you are a scholarship athlete, you have to be able to prove you can read, write, and do basic math before they let you into any institution of higher learning (except maybe that community college you went to).
I've worked with a number of University of Illinois grads, and they're all as dumb as fenceposts.
Jesus H. Christ. College is way easier than when I went to school. Nowadays it's just a parent sponsored 4 year party with sex and booze.
Youth is wasted on the young.
Thus the need for this type of sex ed seminar....
A porn star is no role model for safe sex
wanna bet she checks the status of her partners regularly? Like "Before every SHOOT?" and she's on the pill, too?
status meaning "medical status of STDs"
There is no such thing as safe sex. All sex causes disease, and it's obsolete for procreative purposes. You don't need to have sex to make a baby anymore thanks to the development of IVF and genetic cloning procedures that are being studied as we speak in foreign countries while we're studying sociology of Hustler. This woman belongs in jail or committed to a psychiatric institution for the rest of her life.
You are a strange one....I guess thats why "God" made sex feel so good..so we wouldn't do it...What freakin world do you live in?? I believe that sexual intercouse approved of by God because he made a penis and a viagina, not a test tube!! He made it enjoyable (oh no!!) so as to guarantee continued procreation...what Bible are you reading??
It's a party school whose graduates lack the basic skills to compete in the workplace, especially in engineering and business. I would never hire anyone who graduated from there.
I've really got to hand it to Annie Sprinkle. She's the only teacher that can put a finger on this delicate subject matter.
PS: I think some of you need to read the article again. I don't think the course was about safe sex. Safe sex is only one aspect of sex ed. This course focused on the letter O
Please, This woman is an all outright whore. An immoral infidel, Unless she repents, Woe unto her.................. what a piece of Dung...........................................................................................
It's great how you can pass judgment on somebody you don't even know. Did your god teach you how to do that?
It sounds like you know her personally or perhaps intimately.
Infidel? Are you one of them there ayatollahs gonna issue a fukwit and have your fukwit followers stone her to death?
Voice...although the proper word is "fatwah"...I just LOVE what you did there...Keep it going!!!
and john - your ability and qualifications to make this "judgment" is based on WHAT? you are probably a deluded "believer" who assumes they have the ability to decide everything for OTHERS. BRAINWASHED (IF you actually have a brain)
OK, cut the crap and tell me if it's Bachmann or Palin. At least, it'll be porno with a Christian flavor...lol Get snippets on ChristianMingle.com
Would love to see Larry Flynt out a gay porno starring RickSantorum and Paul Ryan
why discriminate? how about a lesbian scene with Michelle Obama, Hilary Clinton, and Sarah Palin?
