University opens porn course
A university in Taiwan has opened a course to teach students how to appreciate and analyse porn movies.
The Mass Communication Department of Providence University opened the course this semester, reports United Daily News.
To pass the course, students must give a 15 minute presentation in which they analyse an audience's psychological reaction to a porn clip from an academic perspective.
One worried student, who did not wish to be named, commented: "If I get a very good score in this course, I don't know how I'll explain it to my parents."
When registering for the voluntary course, students signed a paper agreeing that if the scenes were too explicit, they could choose to leave the classroom
The teacher, assistant professor Miss Chen Mingmei, said no students had ever left her class but some would briefly cover their eyes during the stronger scenes.
More than 50 students registered for the course, and most of them confessed that they had watched porn videos before.
Curiosity was given as the main reason for taking the course and most admitted their parents did not know what they were studying.
Another student admitted: "I am really worried my parents will see the score report when it is mailed home. I won?t know what to say if I get a high score
"However if I fail the course, I can speak to my parents and suggest that maybe I should watch more porn."

I actually dont think this is a bad idea, maybe it can cause discussion which otherwise wouldn't happen. hell many of those students are going to have to have a conversation with their parents about this, which could cause parents to have a conversation with their children that many parents avoid.
I laughed a lot.
Why don't they offer this class at my university? There would be huge waiting list every quarter.
Ironic.
Weirdos.
The Christians must be terrified.
Curiosity?
This is the best sentence in the article.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
Best idea for a class EVER.
That's an amazing way how to spend a lesson on the university. I hope the room isn't very lit during that. Is there any degree for that? Bachelor or Masters of Porn, that would be nice.
However, there's one thing bothering me. It's university, so WTF does the parents care, and why some students covers their eyes? It's Thailand, not American deep south, that means phallic buildings and maybe some traditions, like in Japan, touching the big holy wooden dick to have a luck next year. Or did the cross plague spread also there?
Beings who deserve worship don't demand it. Beings who demand worship don't deserve it.
I agree. It's a UNIVERSITY, controversial topics and material should be expected from any place of higher learning worth a shit, in my opinion...
Although I have to admit that's a really farfetched idea. When I read this, I can't help but imagine how many of the males in the class probably get 'turned on' by watching the videos, and I seriously doubt that all the students who signed up for the class... weren't just looking for some easy credits paired with entertainment. XD
Ok... did anyone else read that and wonder not if people would leave the room but if anyone would uh... Pee-Wee Herman?
What's that? Masturbating?
In any case, I must agree that's an awesome idea. I'd so ace that if it was available here.
"Nobody will ever win the battle of the sexes. There's too much fraternizing with the enemy."
yep, I was going to write "pulling it out as an alternative to dropping the class" but any reference to a man in a suit and a little kid's red bow tie trying to do anything discretely is hillarious.
Hey, give Pee-Wee some credit; at least he was kind of alone and thought he was safe.
Speaking of which... *unzip*
