Icon09 College newspaper resigns over masturbation column

Oops, that should be College Newspaper EDITOR...
Article here--open at work at your own risk. Definately NSFC.


I really don't see the big deal--it's in a college newspaper for pity's sake! It's not like college students don't know about self-pleasure.

REALLY?

That's tame, run-of-the-mill stuff for my university's newspaper. They have printed way more explicit things. They even get to write "NFBSK"!

When I was in college, one of our school papers created quite a storm when two women of the school wrote a "Consumer's Guide to [our college] Men" with a detailing of a number of the men they had sex with and ratings as to the men's performance. I don't think the editors got into any hot water, though I am sure they were criticized and the school may have expressed disapproval.

That seems fairly tame to me.

I don't remember my college paper having a sex column (I never really read the paper, mostly did the crossword when I should have been listening in class). Is this fairly common now? (I recall some sort of controversy when some students at some high-end school produced a sex and erotica magazine, which seemed rather unusual at the time)

What a jerk! I can't even see where this guy is coming from. Really, the author needs to get a hold of himself. I hated the way his column just kind of petered out. I do find it intersting though, that the editor felt the need to resign. Most schools would handle this kind of thing with just kind of a wank and a nod.

I know, articles like this are just written to help pull readers.

And yet Towson Univ. lets the City Paper be distributed on campus which runs the Savage Love column which is sort of the same type of column & occasionally it's more graphic.

BTW, no pics on that Savage Love column link, just advice in some NSFW language much like the other college paper link so you are warned.

Was the column anonymous, or did it identify specific men? I can understand why the latter approach would cause consternation.
