Orgasm event on campus at Towson

@GusSent tweeted the following which caught my eye:

True headline: Orgasm session fills up Stephens Theater. Nice job, @thetowerlight.

Here are excerpts from the story from The Towerlight he referenced:

Every seat in the Stephens Hall Auditorium was filled Monday night when just less than 700 students and faculty reached the fire code limit for the “I Heart Female Orgasm” event, a nationally popular sex education lecture.

The lecture was given by couple Marshall Miller and Dorian Solot, who travel to universities across the country to teach students almost everything they need to know about female sexuality.
“We really wanted to bring it to campus so people could have fun, laugh, and basically… educate people,” Chris Guzman, director of special projects for University Residence Government, said. “We have a very fun and very healthy campus… I hope that it gave an air of freedom on this campus [to] talk about some more taboo things.”

[...]

According to Guzman, URG is planning on making “I Heart Female Orgasm” an annual event they sponsor. URG president Matt Sikorski also commented that, in the future, the lecture might be held on two different days. Sikorski stated that between 100 and 150 people were turned away after Stephens Hall had already exceeded capacity and an additional day would better accommodate the massive turnout.

“Towson is great… It’s just fun to see an auditorium like this really fill up,” Miller said.

Solot agreed that the students and faculty at Towson proved to be a pleasing audience.

“This was an incredible audience – just a really fun crowd and it seems like Towson is all about the O [orgasm],” she said.

Recently, the editor-in-chief of the Towerlight resigned over an unsigned column discussing masturbation. The remaining editorial staff of the paper issued a statement that included a reference to this orgasm event:

However, many other readers did enjoy the column. And we believe it was not out of context on a campus where the administration delivers free cable pornography to some of its residence halls, celebrates “condom tasting” and “I <3 female orgasm” at public events, and profits from the sale of sexually-oriented magazines and posters at the University Union.

Recently, we blogged about sex toy events held on campus at Towson. This was a follow-up to a story on sex toy events on campus at the University of Maryland in College Park. I appeared on WBAL Radio at the time to discuss this issue.
