Hanseth said she attended a similar party two years ago at the College, and felt it was a positive experience for the women who attended.
“People were really shy at first, but people really opened up,” she said. Hanseth said she thought it was important that the women become more comfortable with the toys, and hence with sex and their own bodies.
