View Full Version : Porn in Class: Human Sexuality

Ok so my teacher for Human Sexuality (it is a psych course) is going to be showing a three part movie on sexuality. It will feature a homosexual male couple, a homosexual female couple, and a heterosexual couple. They will be talking about their relationship dynamics and sex lives in interviews.
Now all that I dont have a problem with. It has an educational purpose. But for each segment, there is a second part... this is part shows each couple having sex.
Now I fail to see an educational purpose in seeing this. It is one thing to discuss sex and types of sexual activity in class, it is quite another to show explicit pornography in class.
What should I do? I dont want to watch the second half of these film segments but I dont want to be penalized for not being present and its too late to switch into another class and I cannot drop the course without losing my financial aid.

This Human Sexuality course is about psychology; not human sexuality in film, thus there is not a purpose for the veiwing of pornography in class. And that is what the teacher called it.... pornography. So it is hard core porn.
If you seriously think it is different you better start explaining why.

Talk to your teacher. If you tell them you don't feel comfertable or you have objections, you can probably work something out.
Of course, they could say it's part of the grade. Then you'll just have to close your eyes.

I did ask him what the "educational purpose" was for the second half of the video and he said so we could observe how different people have sex.

What a damning dilemma.
I'm sure your education isn't cheap, which leads me to question why dumpster porn is included in the curriculum.
I have to be entirely honest - I don't know if I could stomach the moral courage to speak out about it, for all the minuses that could occur.
However, I don't think an exam is going to be based on anything this professor is trying to scarf down your throat. Unless...
Essay Question #2: In Weapons of Ass Destruction, what stimulated Boy George's male orgasm? (Be specific, I want all the details...)
And I thought my psychology class was bad!
They threw in plenty of bile on masturbation, the Kinsey Scale, and plenty of information (or, propaganda) on homosexual relationships.
Perhaps that's a prerequisite to the equivalent of your current course.
But remember, it's a "private" matter (even though we're forced to view it in tax-funded classes, forced to talk about it, and forced to compensate out of our own pockets for the dangerous behavior these psychosexual maniacs engage in).

"I don't see how watching porn will help you in life." --TeenageRepublican
It's annoying and boring. In front of you appears a beautiful naked woman showing all her body. Then a couple of minutes later, some ogre's butthole ugly guy steps into the picture and ruins the scenery. I can imagine two fruits going at it from the start in that "sex" course. The lesbians going at it? Same thing. The female morons need male type sexual aids in the first place. Without fail.

I took a Human Sexuality course in college. On the last day of class our professor showed us some porno called "Top Guns." Anyway, he gave us the option to leave if we wanted to. One girl decided to, and he even said "Good for you" when she was walking out.
As for this, the professor should give you the option to leave during that part without penalty.

I did ask him what the "educational purpose" was for the second half of the video and he said so we could observe how different people have sex.
With that answer, I would have questioned the academic purpose instead. Why does one need to be "educated" in such a manner if it's not academically relevant to anything being tested?
Okay, we'll here's my two cents:
I agree pretty much with CzechPrince, but before going on further, my first question would be to you, Prez ... and it's a hard one. What is this class worth to you - academically, morally, and principally. Everyday we are faced with compromises to our own moral system, sometimes we are asked to compromise our principles and sometimes we are faced with compromising them for "educational" purposes. Are you willing to compromise or are you so disturbed and offended by this morally and principally that you simply cannot stand by while this happens or overlook it for a grade? That's a blunt way to put it, but them's the facts.
If this were ME, and I am speaking ONLY for myself, this is something that I simply couldn't sit by and not say something. Since you have already questioned the teacher, I would put in writing my objections to this display, I would point out that no academic reason was given for showing this and you weren't given a sufficient explanation of how this was relevant to any testing or your grade, ergo not relevant to the class. I would make sure a copy went to the Dean and whoever is over this teacher's department, as well as the teacher himself. I would not be argumentative, I would be more like a lawyer, laying out reasons against and supporting why I would not be viewing this "movie" and my expectation that I not be penalized for my refusal to submit myself to this sort of thing. Then I would just have to resign myself to the outcome. Being a lone voice in the wilderness is not easy, standing up for what one thinks is right isn't either -- but there's always a cost to be paid. It's up to the individual to decided what it's worth.

this is the first time I have agreed with cerberus
while you should be able to opt out of watching (hell, in college you shouldn't even be required to attend classes) it is a college. Institutions run by libs force immorality on students.
Your profs reasons for watching sex acts is moronic. That doesn't change the fact that he decides what is going to be on the syllabus.

My advice to you would be simply to ask beforehand if you can leave the room before he starts the movie. If the guy is not a complete asshole then he should let you. However, if he says no then all I can say to you is that you would have to make a choice.

This is outrageous. It has no educational purpose whatsoever. It's just more academia sanctioned promotion of pornography and homosexuality under the guise of education/science.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity...
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals. - [Marxist goals]I've walked out of things that were "required" for far less than this. When I was told I had to stay I laughed in the chick's face. "You can't leave," (brainwashing you can't be successful if you're not in the room, in order to keep you here I'll next attempt coercion) it's required," she said. There's no way in hell I'd sit through this. I'd fight them tooth and nail. I'd go to the press (email Bill O' Reilly), something, anything.
That's me though.
If you're really worried they'll make you suffer for refusing to participate, just tell them you're a muslim, and watch them grovel apologetically at your feet and then flee from the sight of you.
Of course, they could say it's part of the grade. Then you'll just have to close your eyes.

You should contact Prof. Mike S. Adams (http://www.dradams.org/) at UNC-Wilmington, and let him know about this class and it's "requirements". He is the master at exposing this kind of stuff to the light of day, and alerting parents, students, and taxpayers to this type of "higher" educational abuse.

Did you not read what I posted earlier, or are you just trying to be a total self righteous jackass for no reason?
I first stated she needed to speak with her teacher, cite her reasons for opposing it, and ask to be opted out or an alternative assignment.
Or, worse comes to worse, if she wants the grade, she'll have to go and close her eyes. She has no other choice than that, except risking failing the assignment. So you tell me what I said was incorrect. That's the reality of the situation. Yeah she can walk out, but she might risk failing.
I assume from your post above you have been in school, so you know there are always things certain professors will do and say you may not agree with it, but you have to pick your battles. For her, this might be one of them. I don't know. I merely suggested her options, and nothing what I said is incorrect.
And surprise, Prez understands what I said and had no qualm with any of it, you're the only one who did. I was speaking to her, student to student, and as a friend.
You're a fine example of the kind of sniveling amoral degenerates our institutions of higher indoctrination are producing these days. I'll take my, "degrees of indoctrination" and live a successful life, and I'll be happy with that.

So? What's progressive about it? Seems to me it's REgressive, as in regressing to infantility, playing with yourself, practicing self-love, moving from one thing to another quickly rather than really learning about the first.
I got no prollem with queers privately queering each other, but neither do I see any reason to pretend there's anything "progressive" about what they privately do to each other, much less to view it as something wonderful to be publicly celebrated. It isn't.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Both gay and straight couples do both. And how does being gay refer rushing and not getting to know one another. I think that since there are so many straights than gays, that they would be the orientation more likely to actually get to know one another.

05-14-2008, 06:27 PM
You apparently don't know how to think in metaphors.
Loving someone physically like yourself (as queers) is metaphorical self-loving. Loving someone physically different (as heterosexuals) is not.
Queer playing with each other sexually is metaphorically "getting to know yourself" since physically your partner is like you. Hetero playing with each other sexually is getting outside yourself.
Queers are famously jealous and famous for temper tantrums, just like babies in the Terrible Twos when they discover they don't rule the world around them.
