No, it wasn’t a Monty Python sketch. A human sexuality class really did get a live sex show in an auditorium at Chicago’s Northwestern University.
The topic of the day was bondage, swinging and other fetishes. Then, after the class was officially dismissed, students were told they could stick around for a demonstration of sex toys and the female orgasm.
About 100 students — and apparently one of their mothers who was sitting in on the class that day — were in the auditorium when an exhibitionist couple offered to perform.
Most stayed to watch as the woman undressed on stage and her male partner brought her to orgasm with a device that looked like a machine-powered saw with a phallic object instead of a blade.
“It is probably something I will remember for the rest of my life,” said student Justin Smith, 21. “I can’t say that about my Econ 202 class and the material that I learned there.”
Once the demonstration began, Smith said: “there was a lot of covering of the mouth like ‘Oh my gosh.’ It was pretty quiet ... I didn’t really see people take affront, but they were engaged with the experience.”
Faith Kroll, 25, said she had planned to simply answer questions and show off her sex toys, but was game to demonstrate in the flesh after the students were shown an “absurd, clinical” video.
“One of the students asked what my specific fetish was and mine is being in front of people, having the attention and being used,” she told the Chicago Sun-Times. “The students seemed really intrigued.”
Psychology professor John Michael Bailey said he initially hesitated, but decided to allow the public sex act.
“My hesitation concerned the likelihood that many people would find this inappropriate,” he wrote in a statement. “My decision to say ‘yes’ reflected my inability to come up with a legitimate reason why students should not be able to watch such a demonstration.”
The university initially defended the risque display, with a spokesman saying in a statement that it “supports the efforts of its faculty to further the advancement of knowledge” even though some of the topics may be “controversial.”
However, as the news went viral on Thursday, the university’s president issued a statement saying he was “troubled and disappointed by what occurred.”
“I feel it represented extremely poor judgment on the part of our faculty member,” Northwestern University President Morton Schapiro said. “I have directed that we investigate fully the specifics of this incident, and also clarify what constitutes appropriate pedagogy, both in this instance and in the future.”
POLITICAL PRISONERS VS DEPORTEES: Venezuela’s prosecutor’s office slammed the call by El Salvador’s leader, accusing him of crimes against humanity Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele on Sunday proposed carrying out a prisoner swap with Venezuela, suggesting he would exchange Venezuelan deportees from the US his government has kept imprisoned for what he called “political prisoners” in Venezuela. In a post on X, directed at Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Bukele listed off a number of family members of high-level opposition figures in Venezuela, journalists and activists detained during the South American government’s electoral crackdown last year. “The only reason they are imprisoned is for having opposed you and your electoral fraud,” he wrote to Maduro. “However, I want to propose a humanitarian agreement that
ECONOMIC WORRIES: The ruling PAP faces voters amid concerns that the city-state faces the possibility of a recession and job losses amid Washington’s tariffs Singapore yesterday finalized contestants for its general election on Saturday next week, with the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) fielding 32 new candidates in the biggest refresh of the party that has ruled the city-state since independence in 1965.

Young women standing idly around a park in Tokyo’s west suggest that a giant statue of Godzilla is not the only attraction for a record number of foreign tourists. Their faces lit by the cold glow of their phones, the women lining Okubo Park are evidence that sex tourism has developed as a dark flipside to the bustling Kabukicho nightlife district. Increasing numbers of foreign men are flocking to the area after seeing videos on social media. One of the women said that the area near Kabukicho, where Godzilla rumbles and belches smoke atop a cinema, has become a “real
‘WATER WARFARE’: A Pakistani official called India’s suspension of a 65-year-old treaty on the sharing of waters from the Indus River ‘a cowardly, illegal move’ Pakistan yesterday canceled visas for Indian nationals, closed its airspace for all Indian-owned or operated airlines, and suspended all trade with India, including to and from any third country. The retaliatory measures follow India’s decision to suspend visas for Pakistani nationals in the aftermath of a deadly attack by shooters in Kashmir that killed 26 people, mostly tourists. The rare attack on civilians shocked and outraged India and prompted calls for action against their country’s archenemy, Pakistan. New Delhi did not publicly produce evidence connecting the attack to its neighbor, but said it had “cross-border” links to Pakistan. Pakistan denied any connection to
