Why You Send Your Kids To College
Around the world nations like India have universities running at full capacity to crank out scientists, mathematicians and engineers. Here in America, our kids go to college to attend Hot Sex Week.
The University of Northern Colorado housing department director threw cold water—but just a splash—on a steamy series of sex-oriented talks and games this week at Harrison Hall.
The nixing of Saturday’s sex-toy slumber party, which was advertised as being for girls only, takes some of the momentum out of “A Week of Hot Sex,” as the five-part (now four) series is billed on signs in the residence hall. It started Monday night in the Harrison lobby with a 30-minute session of massage techniques led by a certified therapist.
Joshua Roth, a freshman who lives in Harrison, attended the massage session along with about 30 other students. He planned to go to other events, including an oral sex workshop today and condom bingo on Sunday.
“I think it’s awesome,” Roth said. “I think it’s a great way to promote safe, fun and consensual sex.”
He said he learned “cool” and “safe” techniques at Monday’s session. “It’s just a very honest educational program.”
I’m no prude. I could probably enjoy a few “Hot Sex Week” seminars as much as the next guy. But it’s become clear to me that we’ve let the “college experience” morph from one of goal-orientated career advancement to a simple expansion of adolescence. Kids don’t go off to college to learn their trade and become adults, they go off to college to put off the responsibilities of the real world for a few years longer.
