"“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.
At Harvard? Let me see... I guess that includes about 100 genders and another 100 sexual orientations.
“There are a lot of girls who aren’t orgasming,”
Oh, we must call for the government to intervene in this emerging crisis! [sarcasm]
This poor fellow must live on a different planet that the rest of us.
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. 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.
Toy's last name.
“There are a lot of girls who aren’t orgasming,”
Not for lack of effort, energy, and enthusiasm on my part.....
Dare I ask how someone with such convoluted thought processes can be considered "educated"?

Orgasming? I didn't know orgasm was a verb.
I guess Ivy Leaguers really have some hangups about sex, particularly female orgasms. Nice to know those of us in flyover country aren't so uptight.
We even subscribe to the notion that sex is important, a surrendering and a commitment to our spouse.
And we enjoy our orgasms.
Moral Absolutes Ping.
I hate to sully your Sunday morning with this vile trash (thankfully the poster left out one paragraph...) but anyone who is thinking of sending off his children to a center of higher education should find out what is being taught there.
Looks like most universities these days are hotbeds of this kind of detestable effluvia.
I don't even want to say anything more.
Let me know if you want on/off this pinglist.
I've got to take issue with this. I love looking down on female orgasms.
Rodents of Unusual Size. I don't think they exist.

Radcliffe Union of Students. Radcliffe is the girls' school that Harvard College coupled with 35 years ago.
"It's a shame that our society looks down upon female orgasms." Sigh. Ain't it the truth. I've never had one.
It just goes to show you that even the "high-minded" at Harvard have their minds in the gutter.
What????!!! What "perspective" does society have on the female orgasm??? I doubt that, aside from a few bored elitists, many people walk around pondering their mortgage, their kids' education, the dipstick they work for, and the female orgasm. It just isn't a subject that comes up much except in Harvard seminars and feminist sob sessions.
... Fricker proceeded to engage in an activity many conservatives have been urging on liberals for decades.
By the way, the puppet vulva was named Hillary Clinton and the dildo was Ted Kennedy.
I remember once a few years back I commented in a faculty meeting that I didn't see why we had to teach so many sex-drenched courses, since, all in all, sex is a fairly simple and straightforward matter. You should have heard all the groans and seen the rolling eyes. We have folks on our faculty who spend their lives writing books about this stuff.
Sorry, no doubt psychological perversions and kinks in sexulaity are endless, but I still think that sex is basically a fairly simple and straightforward matter. I can't understand why so many people want to spend so much time talking, reading about, and watching sex rather than simply doing it according to their particular lights.
Talking about sex is so repetitive and boring.
