"Hundreds of students gathered yesterday to watch and learn about the “I Heart Female Orgasm” program in the Stewart Theater. People were waiting in line as early as 6 p.m., although the program started at 7 p.m.?Sex educators Marshall Miller and Dorian Solot came to the University to share their personal experiences and to educate students on their sexuality. The program covered many topics such as achieving the “G-spot,” having multiple orgasms, the female anatomy, and an open discussion for students. Solot said when people usually learn more about the program or attend the program they understand it better and realize that “it’s not some horrible visceral thing.” “People actually realize that its some sort of a tasteful program about informing yourself and about making choices that are right for you,” she said. “There are important reasons why woman need access to really good accurate information about our bodies and about our sexuality.” Jewel Williams, a senior in english, said she thinks the main topic of the program is different from any other programs she has attended. “That’s why there were so many people out here tonight,” Williams said. “College in general is supposed to be open to all topics, it's not just academia. It’s about learning about yourself and everything in the world. I think that’s why I think this program was a really important.” The pair of sex educators separated the males and females during the program to learn about sex education and the anatomy of their bodies. The females listed different things to help a woman get an orgasm. The audience said strategies such as “confidence, foreplay, and patience” help achieve an orgasm. Matt Peterson, a junior in biology, said that he expected to learn about the female orgasm and female sexuality and how he can respect that. “Maybe by coming to this program I will become less embarrassed about talking about those kinds of things,” Peterson said. “Just having that kind of forum where people can talk about the female orgasm and sexuality can be useful to both sexes.”?Peterson said he attended the program this year because a lot of his friends enjoyed the program last year. “I thought I should definitely come this year so I can see what it is all about,” Peterson said.?Solot said people would learn more if the program is interesting or if they are enjoying themselves and the subject. “I think sex is inherently funny and its fun thing to talk about,” Solot said. “People will learn more and learn better that way.” During the program Miller said he wanted to appreciate the diversity of the audience.?“There are women here who want to learn more about their sexuality and men who want to learn about women sexuality,” Miller said. Solot also said this country provides little education on what sex education is about.?“For teenagers, the sex education provided tends to focus on all the things that could go wrong like diseases, getting pregnant accidently, and emotional problems with sex,” Solot said. “There is little discussion about how to be prepared for positive sexual experiences. They need this so people can make good choices right now or whether when they’re married years down the road.”"

Back when I was a boy this was called "The Vagina Monologues" and attending it was a good way to bed a girl who'd fooled around with other girls before.

This is nothing like that. I went last year and it was straight HILARIOUS. Plus, you get interesting ideas if someone man's up long enough to be serious

Like how to approach your girl about puttin in the butt (apparently, "Oops, it was an accident," is not the right way)

I didn't go this year, but I went last year. It's less about the female empowerment and education and less about "omg sex"--which is interesting and entertaining the first time around with your girlfriend, but for most people I don't think it's really anything they didn't know before (for some it is, especially for women apparently), and probably doesn't necessitate seeing it again. I enjoyed it and it was mostly educational until they split the sexes and took the guys into another room. Women shared crazy sex stories, and guys just kind of laughed and awkwardly chewed out a discussion of "how to get my girlfriend to do this", which probably wasn't as entertaining.
