It's almost Finals week. Let's have sex...?

In this article I found on the Huffington Post, "The world's first international sex school has opened which claims to teach its students how to be better lovers."


Swedish-born "headmistress" Ylva-Maria Thompson says anyone over the age of 16 can enrol at what she describes as "the world's first college of applied sexuality".


When I read this, I was sure this was a joke. In this university, students are expected to practice different sex positions and such within mixed gender dorm halls. This idea of free love within the University is not exactly new, as students have sex in universities everywhere, but in an environment where sex is expected to be practiced within the dorm halls... That's a different story. Paying tuition to learn how to have sex well just seems wrong on many levels.

It's understood that an international school may have different values, but this kind of university challenges many morals and ideals of western cultures. First off, they accept anyone age 16 and older, but in the United States, sex with people under the 18 is considered illegal and can be deemed as sexual assault and rape, and yet this school promotes behavior at a younger age.

This university definitely holds different purposes for  their education, and it's not detrimental to society, but I just thought it was interesting.
