Cybercast News Services shocks with University Hosts Sex Festival Activities:
In Arizona, a public university and a state-funded arts council are co-sponsoring a "Sex Workers Arts Festival," which celebrates the cultural heritage of America's "erotic pioneers."More hijinks by following the link.
Beginning on Thursday, Nov. 14, the festival will provide University of Arizona students and faculty with the opportunity to attend an educational workshop co-hosted by Porsche Lynn, a professional dominatrix and former porn star. The workshop -- entitled "The Sacred Prostitute" -- will explore "spiritual sexuality in therapeutic practice." The workshop is taking place in the university's Steward Observatory Auditorium.
Across campus, a panel will discuss the topic "Sex Slaves and the Truth about Trafficking" in the university's modern languages building.
That event will be led by former prostitute Carol Leigh, who currently teaches "Prostitution 101" at San Francisco's Harvey Milk Institute, and Dr. Penelope Saunders, a former prostitute-turned-research-fellow at Columbia University's School of Public Health.
While university-hosted festival events are limited to panel discussions and lectures, off-campus events will include live demonstrations at various locations throughout the city of Tucson.
Las Sinfronteras, a community-based feminist arts organization, will host Tucson's "first ever" fisting workshop. Sex educator Merryl Sloane hopes her free seminar on "pleasuring your partner with your hands" will promote safe sex awareness to all who attend.
Sloane will also present an "educational" BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism) workshop where those attending will receive basic instruction on the concepts and terms of "less-traditional sexualities." The event, which is open to those willing to buy a $20 ticket, will also feature live demonstrations of "rope bondage and flogging, paddling, and other kinds of controlled pain."
