Sex Ed. In College?

By: Heather Riley


OSU and LBCC are well known to provide many courses to help students become successful in there careers but, do these schools also provide courses to help students in they’re everyday life and decisions? One of the classes that provide this help is the Human Sexuality class in the psychology field.
This class is required for general education and many students, if not all, are required to take this class. This class informs students of the many aspects of human sexuality from each genders view.
I personally had the chance to sit in on many of these classes and I was able to learn things about not only the opposite sex and their anatomy but I also was able to learn new things about my own gender without any embarrassment or feeling uncomfortable. The professor was humorous and laid back making the students more at ease. I spoke to a student that was required to take this course for his forestry degree. Hoss Haney said that while taking this course he first thought is that he would feel uncomfortable taking the class but, after completing the first class he said his worries were gone because everything is confidential due to using private keypads when questions are asked. Many students find that they are not alone with the questions they have and the situations they may be facing. The class provides a confidential question box where students can submit a question and the professor answers them in class without exposing the identity of the student. Not only is the class easy to understand and helpful but, the book required for the class is clear and easy to read, unlike some of the confusing books provided for students.
I erg students to take this class because it provides knowledge that everyone should have that will make them more able to make clear decisions about themselves, their partners and sex.
