Whether you’re straight, gay, lesbian or bisexual, Marshall Miller thinks he can tell you a thing or two about the female orgasm.
Miller, a sex educator from Albany, N.Y., travels around the country with his wife, Dorian Solot, and fellow sex educator Melissa Lopez to discus sex topics. Miller and Lopez will be presenting their program “I Heart Female Orgasm” at 7 tonight in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
“Students are sometimes surprised that we really do cover it all,” Miller said. “The G-spot, multiple orgasms, how to have your first orgasm, how to help your girlfriend — and it’s really funny too.”
Miller said “I Heart Female Orgasm” presented both a male and female perspective by presenting information with a female educator.
Student Union Activities had initially scheduled “I Heart Female Orgasm” for March during National Women’s History Month, but scheduling conflicts didn’t keep SUA from making sure “I Heart Female Orgasm” came to the University.
Jenna Morgan, SUA member and Wichita sophomore, said SUA wanted to bring the program to the University because it wanted to influence healthy sexual relationships.
“I feel like this is a topic that wouldn’t have been talked about in high school,” Morgan said.
She said she thought the topic of orgasms was an appropriate subject for college-aged students.
“We believe being knowledgeable about sex is a good thing,” Lopez said. “Some students will wait until they’re married to put that knowledge to use and others are hoping to put it to use right away.”
Miller said high school sex education programs usually discussed anatomy, reproduction and disease but rarely addressed pleasure.
“That’s pretty sad, given that pleasure is a core part of sex for most people,” he said.
Miller organized the program when he and his wife visited campuses to talk about sex and received an overwhelming number of questions about orgasms.
“It feels like people are starving for honest, down-to-earth information,” Miller said. “Not the impossible acrobatic sex positions you see in magazines.”
The “I Heart Female Orgasm” program addresses how to make healthy sexual decisions and covers a variety of subjects related to female anatomy, media messages and societal pressures about having orgasms.
“Orgasms are probably part of your life, or will be in the future, and we’ll have tips for you,” Miller said.
