Aberystwyth University hold Shag Week Sex Positive Event

[MatureMam]

I'm a mature student at Aberystwyth University and got an email advertising this event this week. On Wednesday, there is a Kink workshop. I'm pretty angry as I think young people, particularly young women, have enough pressure put upon them to have sex already without events that promote violent, fetishistic practices, normalised by online pornography. Surely it's not the university's place to promote such sex practices? I'm happy for the university to do sessions on sex that talk about consent, mutual respect, staying safe and pleasure - women's as well as men's! - but to promote what are often violent and dangerous practices when there is a problem with sexual harassment, sexual abuse and rape in our universities seems wrong.

You just know a “sexy quiz” will be anything but.

Dear god, do students really need this much hand holding these days? We just went to the pub, got drunk and found someone we liked the look of for a shag. No drama.

Dear God... this is my old uni and I bloody loved it there, but what has it come too!? In my day there was nothing more than the 'Up Top Bop' and even that sounded very 1950s despite it being the early 90s!!

What has any of this got to do with sexual healthcare? Does the campus have an onsite medical centre; what are the waiting times like and is face to face with a gp/nurse easy to obtain? Are there any 24 hour pharmacies in Aberystwith? How easy is access to emergency contraception and termination?

Sorry, I realise this all boring and not nearly as exciting as a kink workshop.

Ugh that's grim and feels like the "mens rights to get a shag" agenda young women endured in the 70s, but now with added anal and choking.

How to get young people ready to get abused and accept it.

Is that the University or the Student's Union?

Netflix watch party? 🤮

Basically Fuck a Fresher week but with the support of the SU?

We are truly going backwards.

The Student Union but it's advertised on the general university weekly bulletin, so the university staff must be aware of it.

This!

Ah, my alma mater. So sad to see it’s descended to this - I had zero problems finding a shag during my time. In fact I wrote the name of each and every conquest on a painted brick in my Cwrt Mawr bedroom.

I’m sure we used to say something like those who are always talking about it aren’t doing it enough.

I am curious as to the sexy quiz.. Do the answer sheets have stockings and suspenders and a cock ring drawn on them or?

Also, having reflected on my uni days apart from one lad who only managed to have sex with prostitutes during his entire time at uni the rest of us were all, unsurprisingly, adept at going out seeing someone we felt like shagging and then making that happen.

I mean it's the oldest act in the world im fairly sure the majority of the planet could mange to have sex without a how to guide from their university.

That caught my eye too.

Ahh memories I'm just remembering one of my favourite uni chat up lines

"Straight sex no babies?"

Never got turned down!

I'm going through the e-mail, still not sure if this is a joke?:

Sex positive
SHAG week
Kink workshop
Clitorarti Art (??) For the love of God

What's even sex positive mean? In need of sex? Sex desperate? I have a sex organ? I'm not sure 🧐

The SU wellbeing officer's firstlisted priority for the year on the uni website is

Help ensure the safety and protection of women students in Aberystwyth

• organise and promote a range of activities with local services to educate students on sexual harassment

Hmm.

Wish it was a joke. Sex Positive means women accepting everything they get, I think - a slap, a choke, being spat on. And of course, kinky sex and sex work is empowering.

Seems they forgot about that one. Kink is more fun!

Sex positive? Does that mean the local pimps and pole dancing venues will have a stall?

My kink is attractive, non-aggressive, non-egotistical males who are really good at pleasuring women. Can I set up a workshop about this?

You weirdo. That's properly odd.

And very niche.

Urgh, students even need their sex lives micromanaged to the Nth degree these days.

My kids are a lot younger, please tell me that most young adults are not like this?!
