Harvard University is renowned the world over for the Ivy League education its students are offered, and the curriculum contains a class or two that would be hard to find elsewhere, RT reported.<\/p>\n
As part of its annual Sex Week, \u201ca 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,\u201d the school will be hosting classes that contrast quite sharply with what is considered a good education by most.<\/p>\n
Starting this Monday, Sex Week attendees can sit-in on events that range from a sexual health career panel on Tuesday evening, to a class offered that afternoon called \u201cWhat What in the Butt: Anal Sex 101.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCome learn everything about anal sex from the experts of Good Vibrations, a sex-positive store located right in Brookline!\u201d reads the course description posted on the official Harvard Sex Week website. \u201cThey will dispel myths about anal sex and give you insight into why people do it and how to do it well.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s session marks the fourth consecutive run of Sex Week at the school, which is coordinated annually by Sexual Health Education & Advocacy throughout Harvard College, or SHEATH, a group that describes itself as being \u201cdedicated to empowering the Harvard community to explore their experiences with love and sex by providing comprehensive programming addressing a wide range of issues relating to sex, relationships, dating, sexual health, and sexuality.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re always honored to support Harvard Sex Week and everything that SHEATH does throughout the year,\u201d CEO\u00a0Susan Colvin said in a statement. \u201cWe share a common goal: helping people learn and understand sexual wellness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others aren\u2019t so optimistic, though, and have raised concerns about the types of classes that are offered. One Harvard student, Molly Wharton, reportedly told The College Fix website that she wasn\u2019t initially well versed in what this year\u2019s installment will involve, but added, \u201cafter looking at the schedule of events, though, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t imagine that there are not more worthwhile educational programs and initiatives to which Harvard\u2019s resources should be devoted,\u201d the student said.<\/p>\n
The programme is unlikely to change, however.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
