Kent State Hopes to Reform Sextoberfest

October 20, 2008 RSS Feed Print

Kent State's Sextoberfest, whose stated purpose is to further sex education, has apparently devolved into a free-condom one-trick pony, and organizers are trying to help it shed its reputation as "the place where you get free condoms and a T-shirt," the Daily Kent Stater reports. First, they've expanded the one-day "celebration" into a weeklong safe-sex-education extravaganza, while requiring all main-event games to be educational in some way. "Playing a game where you throw a ring around a sex toy might be a lot of fun," said one student officer, "but students can't really take anything from that."
