(Cornell) Lecture on Female Orgasm (Masturbation as Alternative to Marriage in Ithaca)
Cornell Daily Sun ^ | September 10, 2004 | by Xiaowei Cathy Tang

Posted on 09/10/2004 7:46:54 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

ITHACA--Dorian Solot and Marshall Miller, experienced sex educators who co-founded the Alternatives to Marriage Project, discussed the myths and truths of the female orgasm in front of a packed crowd at Robert Purcell last night.

Solot began with a narrative of her experiences with masturbation, from her teenage years, when her mother gave her a brochure entitled "What Every Teen Should Know," to her college years at Brown, where she attended a one-time class on self-stimulation.

Solot and Miller proceeded to ask students what they had heard about the female orgasm from their parents, friends and the media. Responses ranged from "When you've had an orgasm, you know" to "Female orgasms are better than male orgasms." Solot then unveiled her collection of orgasm-related magazine covers, including one called "What Men Think About Your Orgasm Face."

Solot provided three main reasons for the mystery surrounding the female orgasm. She first pointed to the silence many households adopt regarding the subject of masturbation and sexual anatomy. She made the observation that "as children, we are constantly exploring our bodies. Our parents tell us, 'This is your nose, this is your knee,' but when our hands move to our genitalia, our parents move our hands away. At some point, we begin internalizing that there's something bad about that region."

Second, for girls the most frequent advice parents and health educators told them was how to say no to sex. However, "when the time actually comes for sex, girls are not sure what to do anymore," Solot said.

Third, Solot explained that unlike men, who "touch their reproductive organ every time they pee," women have most of their sexual areas "all tucked neatly inside, so they rarely have an opportunity to see the anatomy of their peers" or to intimately know their own. "This can cause women to fear that there is something wrong with their organ," Solot said.

The couple then separated the audience by gender. While Miller led the men to another room, Solot encouraged the women to share some of their orgasm experiences. When asked about the circumstances surrounding their first orgasm, students contributed a myriad of responses, from an accidental discovery at the playground to cunnilingus.

Following the same gender discussions, Solot and Miller dove into the more technical aspects of their lecture with diagrams of the female erogenous zones and a lesson on the steps of the arousal cycle. The couple agreed that "oral sex is usually more effective than intercourse in bringing women to orgasm" but encouraged masturbation as the first step for women in understanding their sexual needs. To illustrate their point, Solot and Miller displayed their collection of vibrators, including the Nimbus 2000 broom, a vibrating reconstruct of the broom Harry Potter used to play Quidditch.

Miller, pointing out that he and Solot are an unmarried couple, welcomed the audience to "learn from the perspective of partnership." He noted that "men have a range of reactions to female orgasms" and that "lots of people with female partners want to learn about this topic and have lots of questions." His comment was confirmed by the large turnout of both men and women in the room.

Barbara Jastran, a sex health therapist at Gannett, described the lecture as "very informational" and educational for "an audience who is very curious about this topic and is searching for answers."

The lecture was sponsored by Community Development, Hillel, the Women's Center and Gannett as part of their effort to provide students with accurate, pertinent information regarding sex.

Don't these people have anything better to do? Do people need to be taught this stuff? Is marriage actually about sexual stimulation? Even a cat can't replace having a husband.

Solot and Miller proceeded to ask students what they had heard about the female orgasm from their parents,

Yea, right. As if this is the subject of dinnertime conversations.

"Well, Jenny, how was your masturbatory orgasm today?"

"This is like needing lessons to get drunk. Those poor kids!"

I remember in health class we were taught how to cut finger nails and wash behind our ears. It seemed stupid to me, but apparently there are people out there who are just plain dumb and honestly couldn't tell the difference between their @ss and a hole in the ground.

In other words, if they aren't told, in so many words, how to do something, the chances of them figuring it out for themselves is nil. The people who teach this sort of inanity are the same type of people. Thick as bricks.

Oh, hell, maybe if the chicks at Cornell (and I use "chicks" loosely) know how to get off they'll stop JUMPING OFF BRIDGES.

This is all taught so they occupy their time this way. Otherwise they'd notice the rats were screwing them hard.

"Sure, this "alternative" to marriage may be fun. But who's going to take out the trash, squash the bug in the sink, and open the jar of pickles? Who's going to wrestle and roughhouse with the kids, show them how to throw a football, show the sons how to use a urinal?"

The hairy-arpitted butch lesbo. Who else? What's wrong with you people? Don't you know that it is wrong to teach little girls to keep their fingers out of their organs in front of polite company? It teaches them to be ashamed.

On a more serious note: there is actually an excellent reason to teach kids to not touch themselves sexually in front of others. Once I helped out in a day care center for a week and a little Polish girl (6 years old) was masturbating at nap time. The day care provider I was filling in for didn't mind, and I said pretty soon everyone will be doing it, and surely, a few others were. That is, until I had a talk or two with them and discussed it with their parents. The liberals would be very angry with me. I said that is something we don't do in front of other people. I don't think I was teaching them to be ashamed, just that we don't do this in front of others. I am sure the liberal "teachers" would cite me as an example of someone who wants girls to be ashamed of their bodies.

We were told that feminism would liberate women from inequality and it originally was a moral movement. What they have done is liberate perverts from having to hide their sexual depravity and encouraged women to adopt some men's ungentlemanly habits.

" The next lecture will be given by Feminists for Mandatory Castration"."

The idea is to keep the serf's minds occupied with sexual gratification, so they don't notice they are being screwed. To do that, they advance faggotry and other such perversions. They can both destroy the family and keep their minds occupied at the same time with this plan.

Homosexual Agenda/Destruction of Marriage combined with the ever popular "Ithaca is the City of Evil" Alert.

The words "homosexual" or "gay" aren't mentioned, but they might as well be.

Worship of sex pleasure for its own sake, unrestrained by any morality or family responsibility, is not conducive to human civilization.

To put it mildly.

Let me and ItsOurTimeNow if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

(Hi, everyone!)

While we are on this subject, if they don't get you to one of their seminars they will try to "educate" you through the womens magazines of course, everyone knows, but now even in formerly harmless magazines that you pick up for home decorating such as Country Home, Country Living etc., full of suggestive pictures of "girlfriends" hangin out together in their tshirts and undies reading on a big bed together, or such, etc., ... Yea, straight folks do this all the time???

Womens' magazines have been soft porn (or not so soft) for years. It's embarrassing to even read the names of the articles while standing in line. I have friends who avoid taking thier kids to the grocery store to protect them from the likes of Cosmopolitan, and even Ladies' Home Journal or whatever.

Girls are being programmed to be feminist sluts.
