I agree with most of this. nossy Send a noteboard - 09/03/2011 09:42:53 AM
The first thing that jumps out at me is that it says that the demonstrators are exhibitionists, so this entire classroom has just participated in their sex life. That's just wrong.

What educational value? If there was educational value, couldn't a video have been shown?

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 midddle of class. The professor is a figure of authority and nobody wanted to seem immature/prudish/etc in front of the professor and classmates. Also when you're shocked, it's not like your brain is operating at peak efficiency. You don't really think through everything you could have done and all your options until afterwards.


I had the same thought - the demonstrators will most likely get off because people are watching, but I wouldn't enjoy being the watcher (because it's exhibitionism, not because it's sex ). And that last paragraph is what I would have said if I wanted to get into the argument with everyone.

Why would this be inappropriate? The lecture was on human sexuality. *NM* Aeryn - 05/03/2011 04:19:46 AM 340 Views

It was optional. So the mortified students presumably weren't confronted with it. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/03/2011 08:02:31 AM 326 Views
Isn't education supposed to expand your mind? Aeryn - 06/03/2011 07:38:02 PM 768 Views
