If colleges are the hotbeds of sexual assault the left claims they are, why do schools host events like sex month?
The College Fix reports:
Campus sex month will feature film on ‘adolescent sexuality’
A campus’s sex month will feature numerous sex-related events and panels, including the screening of one movie that examines “adolescent sexuality.”
The University of New Hampshire’s “Sextober” celebration, which promises “educational programming all month long,” features at least 20 separate events from late September until the end of October. One of those is a screening of the movie “Let’s Talk About Sex” on Oct. 7.
That movie, the event listing states, “takes a revealing look at how American attitudes towards adolescent sexuality affect today’s teenagers.”
“We live in a society that uses sex to sell everything from lipstick to laptops. Yet fear and silence around sex and sexuality also permeate our culture. Teens are paying a terrible price for this confusion in unintended pregnancy, STDs, and even HIV,” the listing continues.
The film’s website says that its director “tries to make sense of our contradicting attitudes about sex and sexuality by talking to the people they most affect: teens and their families.”

Comments
It is perhaps appropriate that UNH would host this,given the involvement of two New Hampshire authors and residents, Joyce Maynard and J.D. Salinger. Joyce Maynard, a UNH faculty brat, published an article in the NYT Magazine when she was a freshman at Yale. As a result of that article, she got a letter from J.D. Salinger. Joyce Maynard, aged 18 so still a teenager, moved in with J.D. Salinger.Vanity Fair (1998):Salinger in Love. She later published an article two decades later on the consequences of that 1998 Vanity Fair article. NYT (2018): Was She J.D. Salinger’s Predator or His Prey?
In a cursory look at the UNH’s Sextober website, I have not located any mention of Joyce Maynard. Had she been invited to comment or participate in UNH’s Sextover, it is not difficult to imagine why she would have declined.
