do not deny my constitutional right to sex
Today in my Individual Rights class in the midst of discussion on Bowers v. Hardwick, our professor queried the big question(s): What fundamental rights are conveyed by the Constitution? What rights are inferred? What rights are protected even if they aren't explicitly stated in the Constitution?
The GA statute in question made criminal any contact between the genitals of one person and the mouth or anus of another. The Supreme Court held (this was in 1986 and has since been overturned by Lawrence v. Texas) that the Constitution does not convey the fundamental right for homosexuals to engage in sodomy.
PROFESSOR, TO CLASS: What do you think? Does our Constitution convey a right to rimming?
CLASS: *titters*
MEI: You know what rimming is--
Slash fandom has ruined me, you guys. Duh, it's not like anal sex or rimming is limited to the m/m portion of the sexual world. But kind of still "HAHA OH YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT IN CLASS, HOW AWKWARD..."
Anyway, my friend promptly turned to me and said: "You know this statute outlaws blowjobs too?"
Outrage! Clearly the Court was right in overturning this case.
And this was after we spent an hour debating abortion, during which a guy commented, on whether the graphic description of partial-birth abortion in one of the cases was necessary, "I don't think there's any medical procedure that is as horrifying as tearing off the head and limbs of a person. And if that's what you're doing, I don't see the problem is with describing it like that."
Oh, said the female half of the class.
"I have a feeling I'm not going to get to the later cases," said my professor, acknowledging how numerous hands just shot up around the room.
Man, I love this class and its ridiculousness. Lots of things said that make me angry or make me roll my eyes in utter disbelief, but seriously I love my professor, who says things like "That metaphor went as out of control as a city bus driven by a heroin addict," and "So I'm like a medieval minstrel," and "Marshall was actually responsible for the black robes the Supreme Court justices wore; before they all wore salmon-colored robes and it all looked very camp".
Also? He is Liverpool fan. ♥

But let's focus on the lulz! RIMMING SHOULD BE A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, Y/N.

LET'S FOCUS ON THE RIMMING. My prof makes the best random references haha.

ahaha, I think I would have a jolt of surprise too if the majority of my class knew what rimming was. I mean, on one hand we're supposed to be librarians in training so combine us together and we should know everything under the sun, or be able to find out about it in ten seconds. But on the other hand, classmates, what the hell.

But I once had one brilliant class (out of thousand of dull ones, of course). It's about law of sexuality so we discussed a lot about homosexual, abortion, homo-parenting, etc. At some point, we reached to the moment that my professor claimed that a male transsexual prostitute with penis is the most expensive in market; or; another time, whether a man who loves being penetrated at his rear but only by a woman, will be considered as gay.
I don't even recall which court decision/law article led us to that extremely unnecessary,yet juicy,info..
ah..one precious moment in my law school life (lol)

Definitely a more fun/interesting class than most, for sure.

I hate to generalize, but it's almost always the guys who say dumbass shit because they never have to be in the situation.

technically everything except the missionary position is still outlawed in Singapore, I think. oh, colonial leftovers.

As for guys, I'm fine if they have opinions - it's a controversial subject, for sure. But when it gets to the point where a guy's arguing with a woman about what she SHOULD do, and telling her what HE thinks she should do, I'm like, whoa, back off here, this is her body, not yours, this is not something you will ever have to decide or go through, you have no idea how complicated it might be, STEP BACK YO.

Let's just say I would prefer to remain unenlightened as to just how enlightened my professor is.

Sex and professors? I like to think them as celibate for education. Yes.
