Certain topics seem to strike a chord with Harvard studentshuman rights, politics, and female orgasms.
Last night, over 200 students of all genders and sexual orientations lined up outside a jam-packed Adams Lower Common Room to attend a seminar on female orgasms.
Matie E. Frickera representative from the sexuality boutique Grand Openingarrived with two plastic tub-fulls of sex toys, books, and safer sex supplies.
Youre going to hear a lot about (crude reference to sexual intercourse deleted by rface) tonight, she announced to the crowd.
During her two-hour presentation, Fricker criticized negative social perspectives on female orgasms and said there is a scarcity of terms for female masturbation in contrast to the hundreds for male self-pleasure.
If youve never felt one, do it, Ficker said. Some people say it feels better than the Red Sox winning.
Alexander J. Tennant 08 said after the meeting that the taboo surrounding the female orgasm is problematic.
Its a shame that our society looks down upon female orgasms, he said.
Holding a puppet vulva in one hand and a dildo in another, Ficker described the different parts of the female genitalia and demonstrated different ways to give the female body pleasure.
She also emphasized the importance of protection, introducing the students to a variety of equipment such as male and female condoms, and dental dams.
Safer sex is hot sex, said Ficker, who has been a safer-sex educator since 1996. Once you get over the hump of incorporating safer sex in your life, its worth it, Ficker told the crowd. Empowerment is sexy.
With her uninhibited talk about female orgasms, students soon became comfortable with the topic and started freely tossing out questions.

Another student asked her advice on condom brands, and Ficker suggested using Japanese condoms because they are thinner and safer.
We could all use a little schooling on this stuff, Virginia L. H. Schnure 05 said.
Tennant said that he learned a lot of techniques that will be very helpful in the future.
One of the organizers of the seminar, Jenna M. Mellor 08, said that females also need to learn about the topic.
There are a lot of girls who arent orgasming, said Mellor, who is also the special events coordinator for the Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS).
Female orgasm is something that affects everybody. Its a great way to procrastinate, to relax, to get to know people, and yourself, Mellor added.
All women should orgasm as much as they can, Max J. Warren 08 said. A sexually satisfied world is a peaceful world.
The event was co-sponsored by the Association of Black Harvard Women, the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Supporters Alliance, Latinas Unidas, and RUS.

How could anyone who makes such intellectually funny movies ("This is Spinal Tap" is also his) be such a political boob?I don't know; the guy's clearly an idiot if you hear him talk. Maybe he's trying to make a serious film, and these are the results he gets (sort of like The Producers in reverse)?

Oh heavens no. What I look down upon is your adolescent preoccupation.Indeed, this seems like nothing more than a bunch of 13 year-olds gathering to say things their parents never let them. Grow up.

Not for lack of effort, energy, and enthusiasm on my part.....Join the crowd, the very big crowd.

I look down on them, I look up at them, I'm happy and I get no complaints. Why would a woman complain about having an orgasm?
To: rface
I googled "vulva puppet". There are lots of places you can pick one up. And raving reviews of how wonderful they are for educational purposes. They even have a
puppet gallery.

Those who can do;

And hold seminars and talk about it.

A good song about the fun you can have with your beaver.
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver - PRIMUS
Wynona's got herself a big brown beaver
And she shows it off to all her friends.
One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her,
So she caged him up with cyclone fence.
Along came Lou with the old baboon
And said "I recognize that smell.
Smells like seven layers.
That beaver eats taco bell."
Now Rex he was a Texan out of New Orleans
And he traveled with the carnival shows.
He ran bumper cars, sucked cheap cigars
And he candied up his nose.
He got wind of the big brown beaver
So he though he'd take himself a peek,
But the beaver was quick and grabbed him by the kiwis.
Now he ain't pissed for a week. (and a half!)
Now Wynona took her big brown beaver,
And she stuck him up in the air.
Said "I sure do love this big brown beaver
And I wish I did have a pair."
Now the beaver once slept for seven days
And it gave us all an awful fright.
So I tickled his chin and I gave him a pinch
And the bastard tried to bite me.
Wynona loved her big brown beaver
And she stroked him all the time.
She pricked her finger one day and it occurred to her
She might have a porcupine.

My wife tells me the key to orgasm is to talk during sex.Problem is, you think she wants to talk about sex.
To orgasm, what SHE needs to hear is:
- Oh baby, I'm buying you a new Miata convertible, baby....
- Oh yeah, I paid the mortgage 3 months ahead, oh yeah, oh yeah....
- Ooooooohhhhh we need new fine china.......
- Oh, Oh, I'm gonna mow the lawn, oh, oh my G-d, I'm gonna mow it, oh yeah
