More than 100 Northwestern University students watched as a naked woman was penetrated by a sex toy wielded by her boyfriend during an after-class session of the school’s popular “Human Sexuality” class.  The after-class demo, which was optional, was part of the popular class taught by Prof. John Michael Bailey. More than 600 students are in Bailey’s class this quarter. The class description says that the course “will treat human sexuality as a subject for scientific inquiry.”

The couple involved in the demonstration were not students but exhibitionists who were brought in for the lesson, said Ken Melvoin-Berg, who narrated what was happening for the class during the demo.  “Her boyfriend did the penetration on her,” said Melvoin-Berg, who operates the “Weird Chicago Red Light District Sex Tour” and teaches “Networking for Kinky People” at the Discovery Center. He said the Northwestern lecture was a version of that Discovery Center class.

In an email, Northwestern defended the class and its professor.

“Northwestern University faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial and at the leading edge of their respective disciplines,” said Alan K. Cubbage, vice president for University Relations. “The University supports the efforts of its faculty to further the advancement of knowledge.”  Bill Yarber, a researcher at Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute and author of the widely used textbook Human Sexuality: Diversity in Contemporary America, said he’s never heard of a naked woman being brought to orgasm in front of a class of students.  “They way you present it there is very unconventional,” he said. “There’s certain boundaries of things, I think, that are acceptable and that would certainly be pushing that.”  Bailey could not be reached for comment.

The Daily Northwestern quoted Bailey as saying,“Sticks and stones may break your bones, but watching naked people on stage doing pleasurable things will never hurt you.”

Weird story:

About 20 years ago I decided to go back to college.  I lived in Northern Indiana and I decided I wanted to pursue a degree in journalism.  I applied and was accepted to attend Northwestern University because Chicago was only 2-1/2 hours away.  But the finances were not going to work so I was not able to attend.

After reading this story, I think it was probably a blessing.  I probably would have come out Northwestern as a liberal and maybe even possibly a community organizer with Barack Obama! 

Oh, the horrors!

Well, Northwestern is truly an excellent school, albeit very expensive.  I took some graduate school classes there because the company I worked for was affiliated with the school.

And I went to undergrad as a liberal and came out a conservative, so who knows how you might have ended up!

$50K a year to attend a school and watch shit they could be getting for free from online pron sites.

No, these are not exactly smart people we're dealing with here.

It would be cheaper to buy your kid a '57 Chevy to learn that stuff in....and he'd have first hand knowledge of the subject.

...and with my luck, that would be one time I'd have to sit in the back of the classroom.
