The Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS) hosted an informal sex toys workshop yesterday in an effort to help women realize that they can provide their own sexual pleasure.
About 30 female undergraduates attended the event, held in the Adams House upper common room, which featured an hour-long presentation by Grand Opening employee Megara.
Grand Opening is a sex boutique in Brookline that caters specifically to women.
“You’re single, you’re at college and sex is a dangerous thing. This is a good option,” said Malaika V. Butoyi ’04.
Megara walked the audience through her colorful, multi-flavored tub of wares, which included everything from run-of-the-mill items like condoms and lubricants to more unusual objects like vibrators disguised as lipstick.
She also demonstrated a hands-free, strap-on vibrator that she suggested, half-jokingly, be worn on the T.
“Everybody would be like, ‘Where’s that buzzing coming from?’” Megara said.
During her presentation, partly a crash course on the use and diversity of sex toys and partly a sex education course, Megara answered what she said were frequently asked questions.
