It’s official: almost no one is able to spot absurdity
anymore. Reason and logic have gone the way of the Dodo bird and the
presumption of innocence.
A porn star led a series of lectures designed
to teach college students about various sexual practices at Claremont
McKenna College recently. The adult film star, Mia Li, has been
featured in such cinematic classics as “Everything Butt,” “Hardcore Gangbang,”
“Electrosluts,” and, of course, “Kink University.” But this isn’t the reason
for my opening assertion.
One of
the talks Li presented was titled “Intro to BDSM.” BDSM is an acronym standing
for bondage, domination, submission and masochism, in which participants are
often spanked, whipped and otherwise tortured.
The talk was part of a Sex Week
observance sponsored and hosted by…wait for it…the student group CMC Advocates
for Survivors of Sexual Assault. There
you have it.
The Sex Week event’s student
organizer’s Facebook page proudly states: “We have a wide range of topics by a
diverse group of sex educators, including queering safer sex and sex after
trauma.” Because we all know how safe gay sex is and how important it is to
mount up as soon as possible after you’ve been sexually assaulted. Get right back
on that bike, sister!
The week-long festive extravaganza
is apparently funded in part by mandatory student fees garnered from the
Associated Students of Claremont McKenna College. But, looking at the official
Sex Week schedule, it would be a bargain at twice the price! Additional events
listed include a “sex carnival,” replete with “a photobooth, mechanical bull,
consent bake sale, club tabling, and a sex toy demonstration,” according to the
Claremont Independent.
I am not a prude, but I don’t even
know what “club tabling” is, nor
would I want to witness a sex toy “demonstration” whilst sitting amongst a
group of my peers. Moreover, I’m not sure what kind of pictures the young
scholars were taking in the photobooth, nor am I clear on what a “consent bake
sale” entails. Similarly, I’m not entirely certain what the hell the mechanical
bull’s role was in the seven-day celebration of debauchery. Was he anatomically
correct?
Come to think of it, I don’t want
to know. And that’s no bull.
