For Crying Out Loud

The students of the University of Wisconsin Madison are paying "Sex Out Loud" $90,000 a year in student fees to give workshops on sexual pleasure. This includes how to use sex toys and play out fantasies. The organization began some ten years ago to inform students of the dangers of HIV and other STD's. The group claims to include abstinence and 'other' safe sex practices in its education. How teaching perversion is safe sex or healthy escapes me. It must go hand and hand with one of the other major vices of college life; binge drinking, especially the safe part. The rise in prominence of sex columnist in campus newspapers, and other programs such as these, work to erode the family unit and portray ones partner only as an object to serve one's own sexual desires. I would think that women would find this especially vile.
Unfortunately the only models of sexual life for our young people are the likes of Madonna, Paris Hilton and Bill Clinton. Perhaps parents need to be more vocal in their own homes during the raising of their children rather than keeping sex a mystery. Yes you young college men and women, your parents do have sex. A lot of sex, and they find it very pleasurable. We are a far cry from the days of one room homes.
