Rice University's Sex Magazine A Slap in the Face to Houston Elite

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Conservatives don't want you to learn anything about sex, because that would lead to fulfilling marriages... and we all know that happy people don't listen to right-wing talk radio. 

Parents of Rice University students are trying to figure out how to put a stop to a student-run magazine that openly (hence the title, seen above) discusses sex, as if twenty-one-year-olds should be allowed to talk about it, let alone have it...

Open, the Houston-based publication in question, has already received national attention for depicting nude female students in its pages. But the fact that the school hasn't been able to plug the loopholes the publishers have squeezed through hasn't stopped parents from pursuing other actions. Students aren't all filled with immature glee either:

The content of the 68-page magazine included articles, poems and short fiction with titles such as "Abstinence-Only Education Is Anything But," "Health and Body" and "Exploring Health Benefits of Sex."

The publication debuted on Rice's campus and in nearby businesses last spring to a mostly positive, albeit shocked, student reaction, Solnick said. [ABC News]

I am a student at Rice. Open is a shitty magazine. The articles are fine, but that's by no means because the editor is capable. The whole organization has a year of buildup ("Hey guys! OPEN's gonna be really great! ... I swear!") with a disappointing end result. Kind of like sex at Rice. *rimshot*
