"More than 100 Northwestern University students watched as a naked 25-year-old woman was penetrated..."

"... by a sex toy wielded by her fiancee during an after-class session of the school?s popular 'Human Sexuality' class. The woman said she showed up at the Feb. 21 lecture in the Ryan Family Auditorium in Evanston expecting just to answer questions, but was game to demonstrate. The course?s professor on Wednesday acknowledged some initial hesitation, but said student feedback was 'uniformly positive.'"

And now? Still uniformly positive?

?One of the students asked what my specific fetish was and mine is being in front of people, having the attention and being used,? [said the woman]. ?The students seemed really intrigued.?

Being used, eh? Who feels used now?

[Prof. John Michael] Bailey said in his statement Wednesday that during the Feb. 21 after-class lecture, ?I was not in a mood to surrender to sex negativity and fear.?

?Do I have any regrets?? he wrote on Wednesday. ?It is mostly too early to say. I certainly have no regrets concerning Northwestern students, who have demonstrated that they are open-minded grown ups rather than fragile children.?
