NOW THAT’S FUNNY

Talk about your extra credit! Students at Northwestern University in Illinois who were taking a human sexuality class were treated to a live and in-person sex act by Faith Kroll and her fiancé, Jim Marcus.

The class, taught by Professor John Michael Bailey, was officially over, and students were invited to stay to observe the live demonstration. A guest speaker, Ken Melvoin-Berg, had presided over the day’s lecture on bondage, swinging and other fetishes. The class had watched a video of woman having an orgasm, but the footage was deemed unrealistic, so it was decided that live demonstration was in order.

You know, I’ve seen some unrealistic movies in my time. Love scenes that seemed fake, vomiting that seemed fake, death scenes that seemed fake. But it never occurred to me to just act it out myself. I guess that’s makes Northwestern University one of our nation’s top schools.

Students in the class were warned that a graphic demonstration would be taking place and given the opportunity to leave. According to The Sun Times, there were 600 students in the class, and about 100 stayed to watch. The couple got onstage. Ms. Kroll undressed, laid down on a towel, and Mr. Marcus took out a sex toy that looked like a power saw, and, well, I think you can figure out the rest. Let’s just say, it was more realistic than the video. The whole demo took about three minutes.

Will that be on the final?

According to the Daily Mail Online, Ms. Kroll said she was very happy to have done it. She said she is an exhibitionist, and enjoys being seen by other people.

Mr. Melvoin-Berg called it an educational experience for the students. “It let them know what's out there and how far people go. Understanding this subject is a valuable tool to utilize in their future careers.”

Really? What careers would those be? Just asking.

Professor Bailey, who gets extra funding (!) from the university’s College of Arts and Sciences for lectures and other activities he holds after class, said it was too early to say whether or not he regretted it.

Well, you can understand why the guy would need some time to mull that over.

University spokesman Alan Cubbage told the Chicago Tribune that the issue had not been raised and no one had filed a complaint.

Quite the opposite ...Senior Justin Smith said “It’s probably something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”

Mr. Cubbage continued, “Northwestern University faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial and at the leading edge of their respective disciplines.”

Northwestern University costs over $40,000 a year. I call that bang for your buck.
