Campus Event Offers In-Depth Female Sexual Education

Written by Krishna Shrini 

With strong themes such as identity, communication, and overall sexual pleasure, the “I ♥ Female Orgasm” event was an informative, sensitive, and interactive talk.

This event was hosted by sex educators Lindsay Fram and Marshall Miller. Fram and Miller unpacked the topics of masturbation, sex myths, consent, and the female orgasm. The event was powered mostly by audience participation, but each topic was supplemented with an informative powerpoint. 

Fram and Miller used humor through metaphors and movie clips to break the ice for the audience when introducing new topics. The talk itself opened with the iconic “I’ll have what she’s having” scene from the film When Harry Met Sally, which set a light and humorous tone for the remainder of the event.

They eventually opened up questions to the audience. These included, for example, “What have you heard about masturbation?”

Students responded with a range of answers from “When I was a kid, my mom told me that if you masturbated, you’d never pee again,” to “When I was a kid, I thought only boys could do it.”

Fram and Miller took their time with debunking common myths about masturbation, orgasms, and sex in a mature and comedic manner that left the audience pleased to have come to the event.

“I ♥ Female Orgasm” covered not only the topic for which it was named but also offered a brief rundown of sex-ed. “I had a good sex-ed growing up, but listening to this talk really gives you a better grasp on a lot of harder-to-talk-about issues within sex,” one student said after the show.

Miller said that his favorite part of giving his talks around the country is getting to know new people with different ideologies and outlooks on the topic of sex and gender.

In a time where women are feeling more empowered, these events are becoming more common. The “I ♥ Female Orgasm” event was the college’s first sexual education-based event in a long time.
