Sex ed gets a lot sexier at Canadian university

[Mirlyn]

TORONTO (Reuters) - An undergraduate program at Canada's august University of Toronto offers discussions on flogging, restraint, and role-play, as well as an arts course called "Queerly Canadian." But teachers and students insist it's a serious academic program that isn't simply about sex.

"It's not sexy sex sex, where we're talking about whips and chains, but we will talk about whips and chains," said graduating student Robbie Morgan, 33, who left her job teaching sex education in Chicago to attend the Sexual Diversity Studies program, one of the largest of its kind in North America.

"We'll talk about whips and chains in a political, social, cultural, religious context of sexuality and how that sexuality affects those institutions."

My question exactly.

Guess it's only okay if you do it Tuesdays and alternate Thursdays with all the lights off and ony in the missionary position?

Does it really warrant a college degree?

It's a class, not a major. I've known a couple of young ladies who deserved a PhD over the years though.

Oops, just skimmed over it. With all the emphasis on sexual dysfunction nowadays though, maybe a degree would be a good thing. It should only be a class though. What's the degree? Bachelor of Science in Bone-Throwing?

I beg to differ...

 

[Professur]

Ask Dr. Joyce Brothers or Dr. Ruth...or Shere Hite...or Masters and Johnson.

Oh, yeah. Nobel winners all.

 

[tonksy]

Not everyone can be a nobel winner, Prof
Someone has to be able to understand all these crazy sexual idiosyncracies that folks have nowadays.

 

[Gonz]

Easy to understand...HEDONISM

Is it so hard to understand that people spend way too much time paying attention to their groins?

 

[tonksy]

You say this like it's a new thing...

 

[Professur]

No, I don't. But the level of acceptance of it to the point where it warrants a fucking degree is.
