These ivy league schools never cease to shock me. This is where society is going, bad enough problems in our governments functionality.
On Saturday afternoon, Yale hosted a “sensitivity training” in which students were asked to consider topics such as bestiality, incest, and accepting money for sex.
During the workshop, entitled, "Sex: Am I Normal," students anonymously asked and answered questions about sex using their cell phones, and viewed the responses in real time in the form of bar charts.
The session was hosted by “sexologist” Dr. Jill McDevitt, who owns a sex store called Feminique in West Chester, Pa.
Survey responses revealed that nine percent of attendees had been paid for sex, 3 percent had engaged in bestiality, and 52 percent had participated in "consensual pain" during sex, according to an article published in the Yale Daily News on Monday.
Event director Giuliana Berry ’14 told Campus Reform in an interview on Monday that the workshop was brought to campus to teach students not to automatically judge people who may have engaged in these sorts of activities, but rather to respond with “understanding” and “compassion.”
"People do engage in some of these activities that we believe only for example perverts engage in,” she said. “What the goal is is to increase compassion for people who may engage in activities that are not what you would personally consider normal.”
McDevitt referred to the range of activities discussed in the workshop as “sexual diversity.”
“It tries to get people to be more sensitive … to sexual diversity,” McDevitt told Campus Reform in an interview on Monday. “We’re not all heterosexual, able-bodied folks who have standard missionary sex.”
Several students submitted discussion topics about having incestuous sexual fantasies. Attendee Alex Saeedy '15, told the News that he at first found this surprising, but then "thought it might be more of a psychological thing we all might have.
"I think that's what the point of the workshop was — to bring up things we thought we so taboo and desire or urges we criticize are just regular parts of sexual psychology," he said.
During the workshop, McDevitt taught the approximately 40 students that just because people think something is deviant does not mean that it is bad.
“It’s sensitivity training,” McDevitt told Campus Reform. “Don't judge other people, because we all have something we are embarrassed about.”
The event was part of Yale’s Sex Weekend, which ran from Feb. 28 through March 3. Sponsors included Yale Women's Center, Undergraduate Organizations Committee, the Sexual Harassment and Assault Response Education Center at Yale, and SeLF: The Sexual Literacy Forum.

Well that's great. Just how much compassion am I supposed to have for a guy that decides to stick his noodle into a dog? I guess it's wrong of me to think that a guy should be shot for raping an animal?

Of course there are conservative perverts. Seriously glass. The difference between conservatives and progressives when it comes to this kind of stuff is conservatives view it as unhealthy, where as progressive stance is lets just understand and accept it.

It isn't about politics, it's about perverts, nothing more, nothing less.
Hopefully their messing with a pitbull and he turns around and bites that thing off.
They can get it put back on in the emergency room and explain how it happened.

akshally cashcow, you just do not get it at all.
some professor over at yale is not spending all this money to make people "like" perverts. that's not what is going at all, i'd tell you waht's really going on, but then it would no longer be a double blind research project...
you're problem is that YOU personally WANT to believe the things you post like this and do not bother to try to look underneath the issues to see the mechanization of the system we live in... that's fine with me that you do not, but you have to realise that this claim that "progressives" are trying to make bestiality acceptable is just your own personal inability to see the world for what it really is...
if there is on thing i just cannot tolerate? it's intolerance.... don't think too hard about it... but that's really what they are trying to study, the participants are guinea pigs and so is the people who can't see what is really being studied
