I Want to Be Your Nerdgasm

An abstinence-focused sex education class in East Lansing, Michigan recently received a shock when one student’s sex-positive mother sat in on the proceedings — and hilariously live-tweeted them.

Alice Dreger, a professor of medical humanities and bioethics at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, was invited by her son to join his abstinence-only sex education class, to see, in her words, “how bad it is.”

Dreger has a fair amount of experience in the sexuality arena — she’s written prominently about the value of pleasure, given a TED talk on the power of anatomy and regularly tweets about the importance of sex positivity — so she knows what she’s talking about when it comes to sex.
