Controversial "Racy Reader" pro-masturbation fliers take over Skidmore College


These girls, whether they know it or not, have hit upon a brilliant way to piss off Jihadis while, ostensibly, supporting them.

Infidel Babes of the Week?

From Nerve:

New York's Skidmore College has been buzzing since 300 copies of a flyer called "The Racy Reader," encouraging masturbation as "a great way to relieve some of the stress that comes with classes, finals, and the never ending homework," were posted in bathrooms on campus. The Your-Body-Is-A-Wonderland Edition of "The Racy Reader" was the brainchild of Skidmore's Center for Sex and Gender Relations, an advocacy program with trained students on staff.

The fliers - advising students to "spend time thinking about what really gets you going, and spend your day thinking about situations that get you turned on" - were also posted in dorms, classroom buildings, and the library, setting off conflicting opinions. Some students were rubbed the wrong way by the onanistic encouragement, while others were like, whatever. Junior Warren Bianchi said, "I think it's generally harmless, especially if it's in the bathroom," while fellow Junior Evan Gorman stated, "I think it's better to have a discussion to make topics like that less taboo and bring them out into the open." Senior Brian Connor had a "why bother?" reaction to the how-to guides: "To put out a flier on masturbation is pretty redundant," he said.
Skidmore is a pretty progressive liberal arts college, so it's not like it's a shocking turn of events, but it does have some creepy undertones in its suggestion of mood-setting, advising self-gratifiers to light massage candles, play some music, buy some lingerie, everything short of strewing rose petals at your feet. A college spokesperson indicated that the fliers were intended to target singles around Valentine's Day, and would be taken down soon. In the meantime, you can check them out here.

Pastorius,

Well, being pro gay marriage will definitively enrage devote Muslims. I'm not sure about the other things, however. That said, I wonder if they have any idea of just how homophobic Islam is.

Most Imams I have read are indeed opposed to Masturbation.

Pastorius,

Not surprised really, but I didn't know what the average imam's view was.

So, it seems American Rose's comments are not allowed here by the powers that be.

How sad.

' If it's "creepy" to use the Internet, military satellites, and robot aircraft to find a house full of gorgeous young models so I can drop in on them unexpected, then fine, I'm "creepy".'

Let's leave it to the expert

I wonder why American Rose is unable to post comments here. It does seem very strange, especially since we are able to. Maybe there's something wrong with her account.

No! Because I don't know about you but my balls don't hang above my dick, neither do they protrude out my back!!

As for American Rose, she might need to make herself an account. I think google's having trouble with peopel that comment without an account. Anonymous comments seem to go alright, its only people that pick a name right when they comment are having trouble.

By the way, I don't know what the heck does a mosque have to do with it all.

AA,
You write: my balls don't hang above my dick


I respond: Yeah, these girls are very young, and probably new to the college scene. They seem like a couple of girls trying to be lefties and make a splash, but

you know maybe they have seen a dick yet.
