Missing from the brouhaha was much discussion about
how little agreement there is about
some very basic facts about female sexuality.

Northwestern U. Sex Toy Demo

Faith Kroll and Fiancé Jim Marcus Perform Live, Kinky Toy Demonstration at Northwestern University
Jim Marcus and Faith Kroll decided to have a live sex toy demonstration
after they watched a video that
they thought did not properly demonstrate a woman having an orgasm.
Being they had already brought the equipment to show-and-tell with their fellow students,
Kroll and Marcus decided to demonstrate the sex toy instead--
but, first, Kroll stripped down naked. Yes, she did!

The couple sounds quite impulsive, don’t they?
Maybe they should think things through a little longer before acting?
Maybe Ritalin is in order for their ADHD tendencies.

[Jeez, when did this freakiness about Ritalin and ADHD begin?]

Marcus stated,
“It seems like a human sexuality class is a smart place to dispel
some of the mistakes that we saw in the video.”

Faith Kroll was a more than willing participant in the sex toy demo.
Kroll stated,
“I’m an exhibitionist.
I enjoy the attention, being seen by other people.
It was entertaining because there were a lot of curious minds,
so that was cool.
What we did was not designed to titillate people, but to educate people,”
Marcus said.
He said the demonstration was accompanied by a discussion about safety and consent, for example.



Faith Kroll Sex Show Demonstration At Northwestern University Video
The video does not show the sex act,
but does give a brief glimpse of the device used
to stimulate the woman to orgasm.
Looks pretty impressive to me!
My take:
If a woman enjoys receiving that level of stimulation,
by all means give the lady what she wants.



Prof. John Michael Bailey issues statement on after-class event controversy
By The Daily Northwestern, 2011-03-02

[An excerpt:]

On the afternoon of February 21st Ken MB and colleagues arrived
while I was finishing my lecture, on sexual arousal.
I was talking about the female g-spot and the phenomenon of female ejaculation,
both of which are scientifically controversial.
I finished the lecture and invited the guests onstage.
On the way, Ken asked me whether it would be ok if
one of the women with him demonstrated female ejaculation
using equipment they had brought with them.

I hesitated only briefly before saying “yes.”
My hesitation concerned the likelihood that many people would find this inappropriate.
My decision to say “yes”
reflected my inability to come up with a legitimate reason
why students should not be able to watch such a demonstration.
After all,
those still there had stayed for an optional demonstration/lecture about kinky sex
and were told explicitly what they were about to see.
The demonstration, which included
a woman who enjoyed providing a sexually explicit demonstration using a machine,
surely counts as kinky, and hence as relevant.
Furthermore,
earlier that day in my lecture I had talked about the attempts to silence sex research,
and how this largely reflected sex negativity.
I have had previous experiences with these silencing attempts myself.
I did not wish, and I do not wish, to surrender to sex negativity and fear.

Ken MB and friends spoke to the class for a while
and then informed students they were about to perform their demonstration.
The presentation seems to have lasted about 5-10 minutes
of their hour long presentation.
