“Genitalia is not an indicator of gender”

Public university holds “sex ed carnival”

Sep 11, 2019

George Mason University, Fairfax, Va. – A penis ring toss, vagina bean bag toss, and lubricant taste tests were just a few of the activities students at George Mason University took part in Tuesday night at a “Consent Carnival” hosted by the Student Support and Advocacy Center.

The vagina bean bag toss boasted giant inflatable lips that served to mimic a “vagina,” and students could throw large pink bean bags into it.

The game doubled as an educational display, informing students on flyers that “not all people with vaginas are women.”

“Genitalia is not an indicator of gender and it can be harmful to assume so,” the display added.

Other information provided included the number of nerve endings on the clitoris (8,000), how the labia comes in different colors (“light pink to dark brown”), and the fact that the vagina is self cleaning.

As for the penis ring toss, the educational component to that game was that the eight or so three-foot-high penis inflatables were surrounded by signs on how to correctly use a condom, among other information.

Students were also offered tastings of various lubricants. The flavors included cupcake, watermelon and green apple.

Additional stations at the carnival included the “gender unicorn” booth, which helped teach students how to properly react to friends coming out as LGBTQ.

There was also an “affirmative consent kissing booth” and a “you mustache for consent” table that sought to teach students how to get verbal consent before and as they engage in sexual activity.

And no carnival would be complete without a balloon artist. Several students could be seen walking around holding giant, flesh-colored penis-shaped balloons. Read more.
