The controversy over the sex demonstration in a Northwestern University classroom has gone viral global.

Faith Kroll, the female participant, has taken to Twitter to defend herself. (Finally: Twitter proves itself useful.)

the class we taught was a psych sexuality class.

It’s not porn if you’re teaching about the mechanics. That’s the kind of stuff you hide in porn!

porn is a fantasy nothing I did was fantasy. it was as clinical as the movie that was shown in the class, but with more facts!

As usual, the university will buckle to political pressure and suspend or fire the professor.

But the thing is…he did warn the students and told them to leave if they wanted to, the incident did happen at the end of a (human sexuality) class, and I suppose it has some educational value.

I mean, sure, probably not very much. And it’s probably nothing that the students, at least the male ones, don’t look at online in their dorm rooms every day.

But wouldn’t it be refreshing if this country could actually have a mature conversation about a public incident involving sex?
