A US university president has said he is “disturbed” that a psychology professor allowed a demonstration of a motorised sex toy in a lecture hall.<\/p>\n

Morton Schapiro of Northwestern University called the decision to allow a naked woman to demonstrate use of the device last month “poor judgement”.<\/p>\n

About 100 students observed the proceedings following a lecture session for a class on human sexuality.<\/p>\n

Attendance was voluntary and students had been warned what to expect.<\/p>\n

Controversial topics<\/span><\/p>\n

On 21 February, psychology professor Michael Bailey held a lecture on sexual arousal, with a focus on certain aspects of female physiology, according to a statement<\/a> he released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Prof Bailey said another guest lecturer, Ken Melvoin-Berg, had proposed the demonstration and he could not think of a legitimate reason why the students should not have that opportunity in the name of inquiry.<\/p>\n

“Student feedback for this event was uniformly positive,” Prof Bailey said.<\/p>\n

The demonstrator, Faith Kroll, told the Chicago Tribune<\/a> she enjoyed the attention.<\/p>\n

“I was more than happy to,” she said. “We had fun with it. I’m an exhibitionist.”<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Mr Schapiro said in a statement<\/a> it was in the nature of a university to teach and research controversial topics.<\/p>\n

But he said the demonstration “represented extremely poor judgment on the part of our faculty member” and said he was “troubled and disappointed”.<\/p>\n

“I simply do not believe this was appropriate, necessary or in keeping with Northwestern University’s academic mission,” he said. <\/p>\n

He promised an investigation and to clarify “what constitutes appropriate pedagogy”.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
