God bless the Ivy League.
Harvard University, one of the most renowned educational institutions in the world, has added a new workshop to its curriculum.
“What What in the Butt: Anal Sex 101” will be part of the school’s annual Sex Week initiative, “a week of programming that is interdisciplinary, thought-provoking, scholastic, innovative and applicable to student experiences in order to promote a holistic understanding of sex and sexuality.”
The workshop will cover everything inquiring minds could possibly want to know about back door action.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Come learn everything about anal sex from the experts of Good Vibrations, a sex-positive store located right in Brookline,” the course description reads. “They will dispel myths about anal sex and give you insight into why people do it and how to do it well.”
Topics covered during the class will include: anal anatomy; basic preparation and hygiene methods; anal penetration for beginners; how to talk about anal sex with a partner; lubes, anal toys, and safer sex education; and more.
“Learn the facts about this exciting yet often misunderstood form of pleasure, find out the common mistakes people make, and get all your questions answered,” the course description promises.
But not everyone is pleased about butt sex being taught on campus.
“I do question the amount of time and resources that went into planning and funding these events, some of which are downright vulgar, at a place like Harvard,” student Molly Wharton told The College Fix.
“I can’t imagine that there are not more worthwhile educational programs and initiatives to which Harvard’s resources should be devoted,” she added.
On the contrary, we can’t imagine anything more worthwhile.

What an awful waste of resources. Just ridiculous.

For prospective counselors, doctors, and others in related fields, this isn’t a waste of resources or time at all. It seems important and relevant. Just because I’m gay, I’m asked all the time about anal sex by straight friends and even gay friends, who are genuinely serious and curious about this subject. There are excellent books about it, too, that I frequently recommend. Better understanding leads to less fear, and therefore more pleasanter and healthier sex, and even less homophobia.

@aliengod: They have an endowment of 36.4 billion. I think they’ll live.

@Stache99: Agreed. They already teach the students how to fuck the country; now they’ll know how to fuck each other.

It’s a part of a sex education week and it’s a workshop (meaning, it’ll probably last a couple hours, not a semester), and it’s being held in a sex store with experts who work at said sex store. This is VERY different from being a class offered by Harvard. People just like an excuse to exaggerate LGBT people’s supposed sex obsession. Sex is great. Gay people know that. Bi people know that. Straight people know that. Asexual people… Some might disagree. Either way, acting like there’s something exceptional about how sex-focused gay people are, is not only homophobic, it tells everybody that we should all be ashamed of sex no matter our orientation, and that is just awful. I’d go to that workshop. It sounds like good information – probably nothing I haven’t googled, but better organized I’m sure.

@jwtraveler: Great line! Thanks for the laugh.

@Stache99:
I was going to say the same thing. And Harvard’s in the midst of a major fundraising drive to raise $6 billion more. Last I read in the paper they’re already well ahead of target and the drive has a few more years to go, so what’s a few dollars here or there to educate people about proper anal pleasure and health?

It’s ok to get behind in this class.

It’s not a “course.”
