At last! A plan for world peace.

From the Harvard Crimson:
“All women should orgasm as much as they can,” Max J. Warren ’08 said. “A sexually satisfied world is a peaceful world.”
Yeah, and I bet he's willing to help them. Well, gee! I hadn't realized it was that simple. Now that the bright young things at Harvard have worked it out, world peace should be a cakewalk. All together now girls... one, two, three....

Here's what's going on at our top educational institutions:

[O]ver 200 students of all genders and sexual orientations lined up outside a jam-packed Adams Lower Common Room to attend a seminar on female orgasms.

Matie E. Fricker—a representative from the “sexuality boutique” Grand Opening—arrived with two plastic tub-fulls of sex toys, books, and safer sex supplies.

“You’re going to hear a lot about f**king tonight,” she announced to the crowd. [edited for content by me]

During her two-hour presentation, Fricker criticized negative social perspectives on female orgasms and said there is a scarcity of terms for female masturbation in contrast to the hundreds for male self-pleasure.

...

Holding a puppet vulva in one hand and a dildo in another, Ficker described the different parts of the female genitalia and demonstrated different ways to give the female body pleasure.

She also emphasized the importance of protection, introducing the students to a variety of equipment such as male and female condoms, and dental dams.

“Safer sex is hot sex,” said Ficker, who has been a safer-sex educator since 1996. “Once you get over the hump of incorporating safer sex in your life, it’s worth it,” Ficker told the crowd. “Empowerment is sexy.”

I guess this is called "education for life".

One of the organizers of the seminar, Jenna M. Mellor ’08, said that females also need to learn about the topic.

“There are a lot of girls who aren’t orgasming,” said Mellor, who is also the special events coordinator for the Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS).

“Female orgasm is something that affects everybody. It’s a great way to procrastinate, to relax, to get to know people, and yourself,” Mellor added.

Yeah, that's what students need -- more ways to procrastinate.

An increasing number of people are beginning to question the value of a Harvard education. I can see why.
