Bondage-S&M-Sex Student Group OK'd by Harvard

The latest addition to American "higher education" is a kinky (deviant, sexually immoral) student club called Harvard College Munch.  Now officially recognized and funded by Harvard, the club is for "BDSM lovers" -- sexual bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism.

. . . Harvard College Munch has grown from seven to about 30 members and is one of 15 student organization that will be approved by the Committee on Student Life this Friday.

Munch is also now allowed to apply for DAPA food grants, making it easier to find a convenient time and location to meet, instead of gathering in small dining halls.

. . . the biggest advantage to being recognized comes with “the fact of legitimacy,” [Munch leader] said. “[Our recognition] shows we are being taken seriously.”

[Munch member] Mae said that kinky students may feel uncomfortable discussing their sexual practices, after experiencing any form of abuse or trauma, with certain people for fear of being misunderstood or judged. She said the resources ensure students receive the help they need from people who are educated about the kink community.

The university clubs are intended to be a safe space for experimentation. As the Observer puts it, "the scene’s mantra — 'safe, sane and consensual' — is heard so often it might as well be translated into needlepoint." But sometimes fiction and fact have intersected in uncomfortable ways. A representative from Columbia's group says that for all their safeguards, when it comes to sexual play that involves dominance and submission, the line about what constitutes consent can blur.

From "Harvard to welcome kinky sex club for students" by Greg Wilson, FoxNews.com 11/29/12

Harvard spokesman Jeff Neal said the school recognizes more than 400 independent student organizations, and the groups are required to submit an organizational constitution and agree to the school’s nondiscrimination and anti-hazing policies. Then, their fate is decided by a committee composed of students and administrators.

“The college does not endorse the views or activities of any independent student organization,” Neal told FoxNews.com. “Rather, it ensures that independent student organizations remain in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Handbook for Students.”
