From free sex products to explicit
images on large television screens,
the Student Association wrapped
up sex week on campus with the famous
sex pub at E.P. Taylor’s.
After the huge turnout at the porn
debate featuring porn legend Ron
Jeremy, staff at E.P. Taylor’s and the
Student Association turned the pub
into an all-out sex party with music,
products and adult fi lms to create a
sensual, erotic atmosphere.
Th e event began at 9 p.m. After
security checked to make sure
guests were at least 19, small white

cant were given as a souvenir.
It wasn’t until shortly after 10
p.m. that the pub slowly began to
fi ll up with students and their guests
eager to see what the sex pub was
really all about.
Long black and white tapestries
were draped across the pipes and
polls along the ceilings. Red sheets
hung on the walls and balloons
shaped like a man’s favourite body
part were spread across the fl oors.
Once the crowd grew larger, the
music became louder and the television
screens changed from sports to
explicit adult fi lm clips. Th e dance
fl oor slowly fi lled with both sexes
mingling and taking in the wide va-
riety of hip-hop and R & B.

Educating students on sex

Sex with an Evian bottle is not a
good idea. Sperm is high in protein.
You can get pregnant if you have sex
while on your period.
Th ese were the answers given by
a group of sex educators who go by
the name of sexperts at a presentation
on Nov. 7 in the cafeteria.
Th e Sexual Health and Resource
Centre will open its doors this
month and the Student Association
kicked off sexual awareness week
with the sexperts from Queen’s University.
Sexperts are a group of volunteers
who provide information about
sexual health, sell non-prescription
safe sex items and do teachings on
residence.
Many areas related to sexual
health were covered, including: the
proper way to put on a condom, sex
toys for males and females, the best
battery to use for vibrators, sex toy
cleaners and STDs.
It was very interactive and students
were given prizes for asking
questions.
What is lube? Was a question
asked by an audience member, to
which a sexpert replied, “It is not
Vaseline, is not vegetable oil and is
not peanut butter.”
Th ey showed a variety of sex toys,
one of them being a suspicious-looking
fl ashlight. Th is male pleasure toy
intrigued many.
“It comes in a variety of colours
and is made from cyber skin,” said
sexpert Rob Hiseler.
Th e sexperts cautioned users of
cock rings about the dangers of prolonged
use.
“If you leave it on for too long it
can damage the penis,” said Hiseler.
Scott Toole, events programmer
from the Student Association thinks
it’s important to have the sexperts
talk with the students at the cam-
pus.
“If the students have any questions,
they can get answers,” said
Toole “It’s important because the
centre is opening.”
Morgan Vanek has been a sex-
pert for four years.
“I like to come and do presentations
like this,” said Vanek. “It’s
just as important to come talk with
women because they are hesitant to
talk about it.”

“Its great to work with a group of
people who are open-minded and
who care about sexual health,” he
said.
line.”
While some students admit they
came because the sex pub had no
cover charge, others said that from
recent experience the pub seems
to get a little out of control because
males are trying to pick up and bring
home females.
Ken Swan, assistant bar manager
at E.P. Taylor’s, supports the sex pub.
“Th is pub is one of the biggest out
of all of them. Probably because the
word sex is in the title,” said Swan.
He did say that any pub is capable
of getting out of control but there
is always enough staff to handle everything
well.
Th roughout the evening $800
worth of sex toys and gift certifi cates
to sex stores were given away.
Although ladies crowded the
room men’s eyes peeled to the big
screens, the night was all about creating
sexual awareness and promoting
safe sex.
Jim Kasprzak, assistant bar manager
at E.P. Taylor’s, appreciates the
message being sent as a result of the
sex pub, but never hesitates to be
honest.
“When students go home after
tonight they’ll defi nitely be having
sex,” said Kasprzak.
