Orgasm Talk Draws Crowd at Harvard

The Harvard University Crimson ^ | Friday, May 06, 2005 | VICTORIA KIM

[rface]

early in the article, the speaker's name is refered to as Fricker --- but the spelling quickly changes so that the "r" is dropped and the spelling changes to Ficker. The later spelling is more approriate to the topic.

BTW --- the last paragraph references a group called RUS .... what is RUS?

"“It’s a shame that our society looks down upon female orgasms,” he said."

Oh heavens no. What I look down upon is your adolescent preoccupation.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Must be some kind of Government grant involved here.

Last night, over 200 students of all genders and sexual orientations lined up...

At Harvard? Let me see... I guess that includes about 100 genders and another 100 sexual orientations.

[MisterRepublican]

“There are a lot of girls who aren’t orgasming,”

Oh, we must call for the government to intervene in this emerging crisis! [sarcasm]

"“It’s a shame that our society looks down upon female orgasms,"

Heavens, I've looked up at female orgasms many times............

[rkhampton]

“It’s a shame that our society looks down upon female orgasms,” he said.

This poor fellow must live on a different planet that the rest of us.

[Lazamataz]

What I look down upon is your adolescent preoccupation.

Don't forget mine.

My sister is presently attending a postgraduate programme in Chinese Language at Harvard. She was so thrilled and happy when she was accepted because she thought it was the most prestigious university in America.

Yes, I did warn her. I hope she isn't cringing at the moment.

Alexander J. Tennant ’08 said after the meeting that the taboo surrounding the female orgasm is problematic.

What taboo?

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Dr. Smellie: With the greatest pleasure. Gentlemen, (gesticulating with his smoldering cigar) look closely at the female peculiarities of this cadaver. I direct your attention to this thing she has got, at the apex of the labia minora. Look carefully, and you will find it situated there, just above the urethral meatus. That, gentlemen, is the organ known as the clitoris. Its solitary function is to generate sensations of the most unbelievable pleasure during the act of procreation. (Groans. Loud cries of protestation and disbelief. A gentleman vomits upon the floor.)

Mr. DeWitt: My wife hasn't one of those! (Exclamations of general assent.) Furthermore, I think it incumbent upon a gentleman to state that no lady who is a lady would own to having one! (Ejaculations of indignant disdain. Cries of "Hear! Hear!" More general pandemonium, coupled with murmurings of "blasphemy.")

Dr. Smellie: Order, gentlemen! Order! We must have order!

Mr. Blough: Whisky all around!

Dr. Smellie (pointing to the aforesaid): Sir, let me hear another sound from you, and I shall order the watchman to eject you from the premises!

Mr. Blough: I beg your pardon. Did you address that remark to me?

Dr. Smellie: I did.

Mr. Blough: Sir, this is an insult.

Dr. Smellie: So let it be. I do not give a carthorse's crap. Your infernal levity is disrupting these proceedings!

Mr. Blough (coming down a bit): Sir, it was only my intention to lighten the sombre humour of this assembly, and lend a bit of harmless mirth to an otherwise drab affair.

Dr. Smellie: Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha. There. Are you content?

Mr. Blough: I . . . I . . . that is, to say . . . sir, I am content. (Sulkingly takes his seat.)

Dr. Smellie (unruffled): I continue. The organ known as the clitoris. Presently, to this miniscule, yet potent structure, the good Professor shall apply the terminals of the Galvanic Oscillator. You will observe, gentlemen, the effect. Professor Butt . . . (Dr. Smellie turns the crank, as his associate applies the wires. Sparks fly.)

The Corpse (starting from the table with a shriek): Oh God, I'm coming! Oh God, I'm coming! (The electrodes are removed, and the corpse sinks down again, inanimate. The process is repeated several times, each time to the same effect.)

Dr. Smellie (to the gaping multitude): Gentlemen, this is no humbug.

[Old Professer]

“There are a lot of girls who aren’t orgasming,”

Not for lack of effort, energy, and enthusiasm on my part.....

[MadIvan]

“Female orgasm is something that affects everybody. It’s a great way to procrastinate, to relax, to get to know people, and yourself,” Mellor added.

Dare I ask how someone with such convoluted thought processes can be considered "educated"?

Regards, Ivan

[rface]

I thought I read a post where you were leaving FR???

[Hand em their arse]

“There are a lot of girls who aren’t orgasming,”


May be the first time I've heard this word as a verb... :)

[MadIvan]

I was persuaded to remain.

Regards, Ivan

[Poser]

Orgasming? I didn't know orgasm was a verb.

[expat_panama]

“It’s a shame that our society looks down upon female orgasms,”

What the hell is he talking about?   I look down on them, I look up at them, I'm happy and I get no complaints.

"What I look down upon is your adolescent preoccupation."
