Sex toy event on campus at UMD
Diamondback via Terrapinsanity
Last night, Jacq Jones strapped on a dildo over her kelly green sundress and told students to lube up.
Her hour-and-a-half-long speech, which took place in Tydings Hall last night, wasn’t your average sex talk.
It opened with information on sexually transmitted diseases and explored condoms, oral sex, different types of lubrication and vibrators, in detail. Jones, who owns a sex-toy shop with her partner in Baltimore, came prepared with a wide collection of props that she used to demonstrate and explain all the dirty details.

About 30 people were in the audience; most were members of the Pride Alliance, Feminists Without Borders or Terps for Choice — the three organizations that sponsored the event.

While sex toys are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Jones emphasized using products made of body-safe materials, such as silicone, that can be cleaned easily to prevent the spread of infection.
Throughout the speech, she handed out the various props she brought with her and described positions and techniques that would yield optimal pleasure.“I kind of expected her to just hold up crazy sex toys; that wasn’t quite what happened,” said freshman mechanical engineering major Will Dunham. “I was more like, ‘Hmmm, I wonder how that works,’ or ‘Oh my God, that thing is huge!’ And sometimes like, ‘That goes where?!’”
Pride Alliance director of programming A.J. Short said the event was extremely successful and is looking forward to inviting Jones back to the campus for a repeat performance.
“When we were planning our events for Radical Rush Week last year, we were looking for things that would bring out new people to our groups,” said Short, a sophomore women’s studies major. “The talk was great, and we’re thinking of making it an annual event.”
There was controversy on campus last year over the showing of a porn film.
