University students are being given lectures on the art of masturbation.
Not, it seems, because they’re doing it wrong, but just to give them a heightened understanding.
Student newspaper The Tab reports students are being encouraged to do independent research.
A lecture, The Art of Masturbation, is being run for English Literature students at the University of Sheffield, with works including EK Sedgwick’s Jane Austin and The Masturbating Girl on the reading list.
The student newspaper also reports that a theory that Sense and Sensibility is an ‘extended lesbian hymn’ will also be discussed.
Dr Fabienne Collignon, one of the tutors behind the lecture, told The Tab: ‘The lecture will be on Walt Whitman, Rob Halpern and the deconstruction of masturbation.
‘It will argue how the writing of lyric poetry and masturbation always imagines an absent other, so that’s the basis.’
Student Laura Bell said: ‘I dread to think how graphic the lecture is going to be when the title alone is already banging on about wanking.
‘Lets hope there’s no practical work involved.’
