The workshop was held as part of the Ivy League university's Sex Week, which launched Monday and runs through Nov. 12. Titled "What What in the Butt: Anal 101," the event drew nearly 50 students.
At one point the presenter leading the workshop passed out gloves and butt plugs to students as she offered instructions on anal relaxation techniques.
"Remember it's all about practice, practice, practice," said the presenter, Natasha, a representative of the Cambridge-based adult shop Good Vibrations.
Showing students a special medical-grade butt plug, she said "a local guy named Greg makes these-salt of the Earth!"
Identifying the event with the sexual positivity movement, Natasha said the goal was to "encourage people to go after their desires and not feel shame."
Comment: It is very concerning that such hedonistic ideas are being propagated to today's youth. Just because something feels good doesn't mean people should do it. Heroin feels good. Perhaps Natasha thinks everyone should be doing heroin too.
"Come up front guys, were gonna have some dirty fun," she said as the presentation began.
Noting "not all men have penises, not all women have vaginas," she added "the butthole is the great sexual equalizer. All humans have a butthole."
A slide shown during the event listed other perks: "because it feels good," "tantalizing taboo" and "increases truth/intimacy."
The crowd appeared enthusiastic, asking detailed questions about anal intercourse. One guy even showed up in a hotdog costume.
"There are two types of people in this world, people who watch anal porn and dirty f***ing liars," Natasha told students.
She said she blames politics and religion for preventing young people from enjoying anal sex. "You couldn't be f***ed in the ass in Texas until about 10 minutes ago," she said.
Comment: Where is the proof that young people are "prevented from enjoying sex" by politics and religion? Does this hedonistic speaker have anything besides shallow talking points to support her theories?
Natasha also denounced abstinence, saying "it doesn't make any f***ing sense" and that "the population of priests and nuns are declining."
Comment: How exactly does abstinence "not make any sense"? And what does the number of priests and nuns have to do with anything? Correlation is not causation. But libtards like Natasha don't really want to have to explain themselves, they just want to make empty statements and not have to provide any data to back it up. 'Do stuff because it feels good and because those mean institutions of politics and religion are against it! Don't think if that's actually true, just do it'. One would hope that there are some wise college students who find people like Natasha not worth their time and actually spend their college years trying to learn something more useful than how to engage in anal sex.
Maybe SOTT will now be branded homophobic and prejudicial by the Sex Week organizer. It's pretty sad how people use such words to shut down any disagreement with their beliefs, but such is the state of thinking in postmodern Western society.
During the event, Natasha went over relaxation and tickling techniques. She also delved into how different actions stimulate the anatomy and how to avoid messy situations. At one point she held up anal beads and explained how to use them. She also discussed how porn gives inaccurate perceptions of sex.
The event closed with a raffle for expensive sex toys, including butt plugs and vibrators. The butt plugs used during the demonstration were handed back to organizers.
Students were also allowed to take whatever they wanted from a bountiful amount of male and female condoms, sex toy cleaners, and literature from Planned Parenthood.
Anal 101 is one of a number of events as part of Harvard's student organized sex week observance. Other events later in the week include "Beyond the Hub: Broadening Your Porn Horizons" and "Unleashed: Kink 101."
Tuesday's event was not the first time Harvard has hosted an anal sex workshop. It also did in 2014, The College Fix reported at the time.
Current members of Harvard's student sexual education group, Sexual Health Education and Advocacy Throughout Harvard, or SHEATH, which organizes Sex Week, lobbied to bring it back.

Like small rodents and lightbulbs? Not sure I am seeing the attraction there...
Young people are "prevented from enjoying sex" because they don't have the equipment for it anymore....[Link]
Maybe the sott.net editor who wrote this lives in Venus?? Pluto? Conservatives in politics indeed try to prevent people from enjoying sex. Republican, theocratic and über conservative senator Ted Cruz tried to ban dildos in Texas, for Christ sake! And there is a law in that states that limits the number of dildos a person can buy to maximum 6. I kid you not!!! Why is such a law necessary?
There are about five hundred examples of religious/conservative figures trying to prevent people from enjoying sex in this youtube channel if you go to the search bar and enter the word "sex" or the word "gay": [Link]
But you don't even have to go that far... this very article with very judgemental comments marked in blue are the proof that the sott.net editor who wrote said comments is asking for. How ironic.
The difference between progressive and conservative morals is that conservatives hate anal sex and love war, while progressives say anal is ok as long as it envolves two consenting adults but all wars need to end now. So you decide what kind of world you want to live in.
I agree that America's puritanical roots are all too evident in laws and customs. But hedonism as its being pushed is about breaking societal and family bonds IMO. It's been going on for a long time.
Colleges need to focus on educating people to further their careers, not to further agendas or change society, customs or morals. The costs of a college education has gotten far too expensive.
