I'm sure it's not that easy just to walk out if you're uncomfortable in these circumstances. It's rude to walk out in the middle of class.
While I agree that some may have felt pressure to stay rather than walk away, the demonstration was not actually during the class. It was an after dismissal exhibition. After the lecture, the students were allowed to stay if they were interested.
Have you all heard about the Northwestern University Sex Toy Demonstration?

It was optional. So the mortified students presumably weren't confronted with it. *NM*

Finally, someone at least had the guts to name the sex toy. A chainsaw cock.

Not really my thing but there must be a pretty big audience for it. I see those toys all the time.

I think it depends on the level of the class and the major of students in said class.
