    My partner is at IU and has suggested we visit there. Of course, he just told me that a colleague of his said that we might see stuff that might make us never want to have sex again. Now that would be quite a feat...

    But it might make for an interesting date. :slight_smile:

    Yeah. I gotta say I'm a little scared though. LOL I have no idea what to expect.

    Been to the Kinsey institute before, it's fine. I really didn't gather any earth breaking info.

    Hm. I'm imagining it rather sterile and matter-of-fact. I don't know. Maybe sex should be kept out of academia; it takes the joy and mystery out of it.*

    As long as there continue to be men who think they are the first one to discover the clitorus, there will be sex in academia.

    That's awesome!

    I'm disappointed that while I live in southern Indiana, many of my friends don't even know who Alfred Kinsey was, or that the Kinsey Institute is almost right next door (maybe I just think about this stuff a bit more than my straight cis friends, LOL). Anyway, it sounds like a cool place to check out!

    Edit: Kinsey studied a lot of different things, apparently. :-D
