Last Thursday, 600 Rowan students flocked to the Enyon Ballroom to listen to the SUP organized lecture entitled, "I Love Female Orgasm," while commenting, "Of course you would be here," or, "There's probably going to be a lot of virgins." Creators of the program, Marshall Miller and Dorian Solot, have given over 350 lectures at colleges, conferences, and adult education centers on sexual health, safe sex, female orgasms, and other related topics, according to their website www.sexualityeducation.com.

"I Love Female Orgasm" is their most popular program, and Solot says they never have a problem filling a room because it is a very popular topic. Miller and Solot, who are both sex educators, speak to the audience about female sexuality from both sides of the fence: for the women who experience it, and their partners who have the ability to aid them in the process. Their presentation on Thursday taught Rowan students about feeling confident in making sexual decisions that are right for them, orgasm myths, and the female anatomy.

Always allowing the laughter to continuously roll, Miller and Solot infused their presentation with jokes, movie clips, and personal experiences. In the middle of their presentation, the audience was split into male and female groups, which Solot said was to allow the women and men in the room to feel more comfortable opening up about female orgasms and their own sexuality.

The women in this session were asked what they heard about masturbation when they were younger, and answers such as, "Nothing," "It was wrong to do," and, "Only guys do it," were yelled from the audience. Solot showed, by the women's reaction to the question, that women's sexual education is taught differently than men's. She feels that they don't teach women how to say "yes" to sex in a responsible way; women are only ever taught to say no. Furthermore, according to the presentation, most sexual education courses leave out a very important part of female anatomy: the clitoris, which is the main component in having an orgasm.

The women were then asked to brainstorm what can help them have an orgasm. While a long list was written on a dry erase board, the more memorable were, "Sex positions," "Sex toys," "Chocolate syrup and whipped cream," and, "Rub my freaking cl*t." In response to one student saying, "Take control," Solot commented that taking control of your orgasm is a great way to have one.

"Guys are really good at making sure they are going to have an orgasm. Women lie there and think, 'I hope I will have an orgasm,'" said Solot.
The men, who had their session in the first floor of the Student Center, talked about what they had learned about female sexuality in school. Miller also said they spoke about pornography and how it is inaccurate information about what women look like, what type of men they like, and what they want when it comes to sex.

After the sessions, Miller and Solot gave the audience some sex tips including information about the clitoris, vibrators, the "G spot," the phases of arousal, and how men and women can have multiple orgasms. They ended their presentation with saying that the most important things are that you love and respect your partner and they love and respect you in return, and that you take care of your body because that's all you have in the end. "Wishing you health, long life," said Miller, "and plenty of orgasms," added Solot.
