Ever wonder what would happen if our student body government teamed up with the Women's Resource Center to sponsor a sex workshop? Well, about 50 students found out last Thursday night, and the result was a somewhat graphic seminar that left students with visions of artificial penises and other sexual "toys."
In the workshop, sex educator Merryl Sloane led the seminar with a goal of helping students "have the greatest sex you could possibly imagine." Sloane used several props - including the aforementioned devices - and held nothing back during the workshop, which also featured her six-step program to make sexual discovery easier for young people. The first step was for the partners to know themselves through masturbation before proceeding on to further levels.
Again, this event was approved by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, our student body government. This fact alone isn't that big of a deal, but what is extremely troubling is that the student Senate seemingly had absolutely no idea about what the seminar was about, even after it took place.
Unlike other events this semester, i.e. FACES and Fall Ball, ASUA didn't do its homework.
After the meeting, Sen. Kristel Miller was contacted and asked about her reaction to the content presented. Neither she nor any other ASUA member was at the workshop, primarily because most of them were at a rehearsal dinner for Friday's Campaign Arizona festivities.
