Porn Valley (Adjacent) Dispatch: Sex Please, We’re Yalies

There are those who would have you believe that Ivy League students only lead lives of the mind, but if you've ever been to New Haven, you'd know that Yale scholars need to have sex to keep from crying. Still, the venerable institution will be trucking in the likes of Monique Alexander and Dr. Ruth for Sex Week later this month, and Vivid is sponsoring a whole day of festivities. "(Sex Week at Yale)'s mission is to get beyond the awkwardness, discomfort and taboo of conventional sex education programs and to get students talking about sex openly and realistically," its organizers say. Funny, my own alma mater's philosophy about sex held that self-delusion always resulted in at least a more interesting relationship.
