Letter to the Editor
Sex Faire didn't inform, should be more mature

Although I have never attended any of the four Sex Faires, the Feb. 18 article "4th-annual Sex Faire shows consent, more" leads me to believe that I haven't been missing out. The Sex Faire is advertised as being an educational event, a place where people can openly discuss sex without it being considered taboo. So, why is it that the creators used the word "coochie" in their game of "Sexual Twister"? One would think that it would be much more appropriate to use proper terminology during this educational event.

Furthermore, I do not see the didactical value of "Orgasm Bingo," which, according to The Daily Collegian, included "faint moans and light chuckling." This to me sounds much more like the Howard Stern radio show than an educational event at a prestigious university. I'm sure there were a lot of informative aspects to the event, but I hope next year it is done in a more mature manner.
