News and Notes: Harvard Hosting 3rd Annual Sex Week

Harvard is hosting its third annual “Sex Week,” a week of programs promoting a holistic understanding of sex and sexuality among students, according to the event’s website.

The event is coordinated by a student-run group,Sexual Health Education & Advocacy throughout Harvard College (SHEATH),with thegoal of connecting diverse communities through “common human experiences with love, sex, sexuality and relationships.”

Featured events include “Losing Your (Concept of) Virginity,” “Fifty Shades of False: Kink, Fantasy, and Fetish” and “What What in the Butt: Anal Sex 101,” a program that received considerable media backlash for being “downright vulgar,” according to the Huffington Post.

“Saying we don’t need [the workshop] is like saying we don’t need sex education, or should have abstinence-only education or that people should feel ashamed for doing whatever it is that’s part of their sexual practice,” SHEATH co-president Kirin Gupta said in an interview with MTV News.

Unlike Harvard and Yale, the University does not have a Sex Week.
