The birds and the bees!

Today I checked out the campus. With nearly 50,000 students it fairly crowded. York University was founded in 1959 and has spread rapidly offering all sorts of crazy courses. You can do elective modules in rock music and weight lifting. Unfortunately my home uni said that they were not quite academic enough. Who would have thought, eh? Today was another frosh event. It was pretty strange stuff! We had a sex talk with a local celebrity called Sue Johansson. She has a show called the Sunday night sex show here apparently. She is old, wrinkly and stood up in front of us demonstrating the joys of a vibrator. In England when it comes to sex they would simply give a leaflet. But no, here it seems they do things very visually. Canadians are very vocal and outgoing, thus when Sue reveals that girls have twice as many nerve endings down below compared to boys, the Canadian girls started the chant 'boys suck'. It was a very strange experience, but it put forward a good message.

Woot for Canadian sex ed. You forgot to mention the free lube and condoms we scored, as well as postcards.

Me, I sent my Sue Johansson "Feeling frisky? Don't be risky!" postcards to a fellow fan in France.

Hopefully you weren't too traumatised. At least she didn't make you put blueberry flavoured condoms on a wooden penis, as we do in high school.

lol, really? I saw that happen in a film once where a nurse did that in assembly, to add to the embarrassment it was the main character's mum who was the nurse!
