Sex-Toy Study At Duke University Is A Legitimate Study.
A campus religious leader is unhappy about a study at Duke University that invites female students to attend parties where they can buy sex toys. The director of the Duke Catholic Center has lodged a complaint with researchers. The Rev. Vetter says the study doesn't promote relationships. Female students over age 18 attend the events similar to Tupperware parties but with erotic toys, lingerie and games. The women complete surveys about their sexual attitudes before and after the parties and get product discounts. A spokesman for Duke said the sex-toy party project went through the peer review process.

It is an existing part of modern society. I see no reason it should not have passed peer review. There is no reason to believe anyone is being forced to be involved. So go for it.

I think it is a good study. I think getting in touch with your own body is important. How can you expect your partner to please you if you don't know what does please you? I have been to several of the parties and they do have much talk about how to includes your partner with the things you purchase instead of focusing on them being a way to do without a partner. I have even attended the couples version where the things were sold that were to enhance the love making experience.

Sex drive is natural, yet the religious want us to believe it's a sin and that it shouldn't exist outside of monogomous marriage, yet also when people find ways to masturbate and relieve that drive without resorting to actual intercourse the religious think that's wrong too. You can't win. Your only choices from the religious' standpoint are a) get married shortly after puberty (likely still in high school, likely never getting to go to college), or b) live incredibly sexually frustrated all through your peak of biological sexuality and not experience relief until your mid to late twenties when you marry after college.

Let the students have their toys.

I don't see anything wrong with that.
