Porn Valley (Adjacent) Dispatch: Sex Please, We’re Yalies

2008_2_1_sw.jpgThere are those who would have you believe that Ivy League students only lead lives of the mind, but if you’ve ever been to New Haven, you’d know that Yale scholars need to have sex to keep from crying. Still, the venerable institution will be trucking in the likes of Monique Alexander and Dr. Ruth for Sex Week later this month, and Vivid is sponsoring a whole day of festivities. “(Sex Week at Yale)’s mission is to get beyond the awkwardness, discomfort and taboo of conventional sex education programs and to get students talking about sex openly and realistically,” its organizers say. Funny, my own alma mater’s philosophy about sex held that self-delusion always resulted in at least a more interesting relationship.

    It is SEXtravaganza ’08 here in Corvallis (at OSU). So far it has been ‘meh.’ There is a Q&A tonight, and some talks throughout the week, there is even a sexual orientation gingerbread persons workshop. It makes me sad that they don’t know how to spell Masturbation though, but it’s nice that the workshop is open to everyone this year.
