State budget cuts threaten GSU's storied past as group-sex Mecca

Posted by Thomas Wheatley on Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 4:08 PM

By now you've surely seen the comments state Rep. Calvin Hill, R-ThisThatAndTheOther, made yesterday about how ENRAGED he was that taxpayer dollars were paying the salaries of Georgia State University profs considered scholars in the fields of oral sex, queer theory and male prostitution.

An enigmatic scribe at Pecanne Log reminds us of the hardships GSU has endured to become a group-sex friendly learning institution:

Georgia State has lagged behind other colleges in the state for decades in terms of student life due to its designation as a commuter school. The most flourishing and attractive part of any higher education institution’s campus life is, of course, its orgies. GSU has spent the last ten years playing an expensive catch-up in order to also be labeled an orgy-friendly research institution.

She goes on to carefully detail just how much the university has accomplished — occupying the Sodom and Gomorrah-esque Olympic Village, building group study rooms with viewing windows, etc. You can see why these women won our Best Local Blogger award, people!

Take note, Rep. Hill: This is bigger than budget shortfalls! Try and rob us of our oral sex experts and the erotic legacy GSU has struggled to build and you will see a protest on the statehouse steps unlike any you've ever seen before!

I investigated this and found that the media was used to make a false statement to the public. The three areas addressed in the experts guide were each branches of the sociology department. I was unable to find queer theory but the other two or oral sex and male prostitution are supported below: Dr. Stombler received her Ph.D. in Sociology from Florida State University in 1995 and worked as an Assistant Professor at Texas Tech University until 2000 before joining the department at GSU. Her latest research project involves unraveling the power dynamic embedded in the practices of oral sex, particularly cunnilingus, and connecting conceptualizations of cunnilingus to public discourse (particularly messages about oral sex sent through music and other media). Key questions include how people view cunnilingus and how individual and public conceptualizations of cunnilingus are mitigated. During his professional career, Dr. Elifson has been able to contribute to four major areas in the field of sociology. These include religion, deviance, AIDS/HIV and social behavior, and quantitative studies. In his professional development , he has always been intrigued by the constant feedback between theories and empirical findings. While his primary focus was on theoretical contributions, he proceeded to develop his expertise in methodological and statistical issues. He was a part of “Risk Factors Associated with HIV Infection among Male Prostitutes” This study documents the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted disease seroprevalence rate for male prostitutes, identifies the risk factors for HIV, and provides baseline information for the development and implementation of appropriate prevention and intervention strategies.

Thomas, Please break this news to Christa gently. Georgia's source of Pecanne Logs is shutting down.

In April, her candy-making days likely will come to an end. www.macon.com/198/story/598843.html
