On Sept. 24. two certified
sexologists gave students a
crash course on safe, pleasurable sex m Lee Chapel to
much applause last week.
Dr. Joni Prater and Esther Lastique. who travel the
United States delivering lectures at college campuses.
visited Stetson lor an hour-
and-a-half discussion of all
things sex. The "Sex Ed Boot
Camp" focused on developing healthy relationships,
engaging in consensual,
pleasing sex. and protecting
oneself at all times. Though
the crowd they drew
was small, leaving
most of the Chape!
empty, their messages resonated with the
responsiv e audience.
Laughter was a con-
slant, and several
students comfortably
answered and asked
questions about their
own sexual experiences.
The sexologists explained what they call the
four pillars of a healthy relationship. The pillars (respect,
equality, responsibility, and
honesty) each point towards
treating romantic partners as
whole persons, and without
any of the lour the relationship becomes "categorically
abusive," according to Dr.
Krater, ■. ■' - ' ."" ■■ ■
The rest of the evening
followed humorously, with
each piece of information
delivered alongside a joke or
two.
Dr. Prater cited her years
as a dentist dealing with nervous patients as the source
of her ability lo discuss traditionally frightening topics
with ease. She and Lastique
moved deftly from topic
to topic, stressing the importance of safety and satisfaction in all sexual acts
Several shouts of glee came
from the audience when the
speakers advised that people

Frater and Lastique pointed
out the usual sensitive areas
partners should pay attention to, but also suggested
that people spend time masturbating to discover their
personal erogenous zones so
that when the time for sexual
intimacv arrives they can tell
their partners exactly what
they do and do not like.
The longtime speakers
also shared true stories from
other college campuses to illustrate the need for extreme
caution in all things. With a
yellow condom in her hand.
Dr. Frater told the crowd
about a man who developed

his girlfriend's vagina with
his hand, putting a condom
on his penis and engaging
in vaginal intercourse. Two
weeks later he learned that

condom, he had trapped the]

What were other lessons
given by the sexologists? A
drop of lubricant in the tip
of a condom adds sensitivity.
Saran wrap spread over vaginal and anal cavities keeps

better {lubricant is a must).
If you're not panting and
sweating, the sex needs improvement. Always rind out
desires and limits before taking your clothes off. Using a
condom too big for your penis can lead to an awkward
recover} mission after sex.
On the whole. "Sex
Ed Boot Camp" provided
(along with tree shirts and
condoms) an open environment to learn how to keep
the messy process of finding
romantic partners and having sex safe, orgastic, and
worth your precious college
