A Cornell University senior discusses how her school, often at the center of debates about sex and assault on college campuses, lacks adequate sexual education for students. The author argues that while Cornell portrays itself as deeply concerned with student welfare, it provides explicit and sometimes controversial guidance regarding sexual activities. This includes hosting events like sex-toy raffles with demonstrations, distributing guides promoting pornography consumption, and encouraging exploration of various fetishes and practices such as bondage and group sex.

Story summary
At Cornell University, senior Jared Lederman criticizes the school's approach to sex education, which he claims promotes unhealthy behaviors while presenting itself as deeply invested in student welfare. In 2019, Cornell Health published a guide titled "Sexual Pleasure: Finding the ‘Sweet Spot’" that encourages students to view sex as a productive study break and explores topics like exploring fantasies, fetish gear, and ethical pornography consumption. Lederman also mentions other lewd guidance from the university, including hosting sex-toy raffles with demonstrations and instructing students on bondage practices and group-sex interest identification.
