  • Lixie, on 11/15/2007, -4/+156And 100% of women secretly snoop around for their boyfriends' porn stash when he's not around.
    • colto, on 11/15/2007, -4/+30I still don't understand how supposed 70% check out pornography but ony 1 in 3 have visited an adult website.
      • JLecker, on 11/15/2007, -4/+3Torrents?
      • JLecker, on 11/15/2007, -1/+43Wow, I totally forgot porno mags. Is it bad that I can only think of porn in terms of the internet?
        • colto, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2Ah I bet that is it! I never would have thought of mags either. Video > Pics
        • Metis2be, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3That's what it's for.
      • mrjit, on 11/15/2007, -2/+11Percentage of females that can answer "i have" to these questions due to their boyfriends forcing them to watch porn .. 97.5%
      • MacSuxWindozSux, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1It's called paper.
  • Trav3133, on 11/15/2007, -28/+1erjeoiur943
  • MforMike, on 11/15/2007, -6/+23That would be the best class ever!
    • Dokument, on 11/15/2007, -5/+12esp if it was hands on
      • ayeroxor, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2ick. Porn stars are for looking at only. I'm reminded of a quaint saying I learned in the south: "If she had as many sticking out of her as she's had stuck in her, she'd look like a porcupine."
    • mctk, on 11/15/2007, -5/+7Yes it would be. We could learn all about the histories of sexual abuse most porn stars grew up with.
    • L33tmaster, on 11/15/2007, -0/+9The course number is Sociology 69, look it up, I ***** you not. I go to UCI, but I haven't taken it because it doesn't fulfill general education requirements and I heard the class is actually quite hard (no pun intended).
      • neo1513, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1Zot Zot bro, general rumor around campus was that Belladonna was supposed to be on the panel also but I guess she didn't show up
  • Nightlie, on 11/15/2007, -1/+90is it me or...do every pic on the article depict the dark skinned bald guy starring at her chest

    XD
    • Dota, on 11/15/2007, -2/+22huh..what? all i see is a chest
    • mosmiley, on 11/15/2007, -0/+8lol...lmao, agreed. That was wayyy to obvious.
    • scrugby, on 11/15/2007, -2/+3Is there anything else in the pictures? i'm pretty sure thats all i would be looking at if a pornstar was standing next to me
  • Fl4sh, on 11/15/2007, -2/+74That woman isn't wearing a bra. Just thought I would point that out.
    • spyd3rweb, on 11/15/2007, -3/+22And the dude is staring right at them. Just thought I would point that out.
    • Gizza, on 11/15/2007, -2/+41Something was definitely pointing out.
    • thailand1972, on 11/15/2007, -1/+3You didn't need to tell me - I just followed the dude's eyes
    • ghgh1212, on 11/15/2007, -1/+9did you expect anything less when it said she had to wipe the jizz off her face before going to the classroom?
    • Jonsblckhwk, on 11/15/2007, -1/+1Why are you guys staring at the dude?
    • ronaldinho, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4Am I the only one who thinks she's not really hot? I was disappointed until she mentioned she wiped off jizz before going to teach the class. That was classic
  • MageLordy, on 11/15/2007, -16/+3delete
    • philman467, on 11/15/2007, -5/+3least attractive porn starts ever.
  • jmpeagle, on 11/15/2007, -2/+10what is she doing here? http://www.flickr.com/photos/koganuts/2003635342/i ...
  • Makaveli604, on 11/15/2007, -6/+3I'd attend.
  • cactus476, on 11/15/2007, -8/+2170% of women check out pornography.
    1 in 3 women have visited an adult website.
    Are they saying that 53% of the women who check out pornography have not visited an adult website?
    I think those stats are a little off.
    • jmpeagle, on 11/15/2007, -2/+24you do realize not all porn is viewed online? Lots of that is probably the late night stuff on cinemax or HBO or they rented a porno with their boyfriends from movie store. Pornography is much more enjoyable as a couple than by oneself. There are also magazine etc...
      • insllvn, on 11/15/2007, -1/+8Yes, but the internet is for porn.
        • jon30041, on 11/15/2007, -0/+5But porn is not limited to the internet.

          It's BEST, but people do still sell Tapes and DVDs in solid form at your local liquor store. Two places by my work do.
      • cactus476, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1I'm glad you actually read my comment....

        I made the comment that of the individuals interviewed, 53% of the women who have indulged in porn, have never been to an adult site. I'm not saying most women get their porn from the web, just saying that I think those that do rent videos or buy magazines must also peak at the web from time to time.
    • 1awesomeguy, on 08/19/2008, -1/+3Is 53% an arbitrary number because I am getting 37%?
    • thedude42, on 11/15/2007, -0/+0Bayesian stats people, read it.
      There's a difference between saying '1 in 3 women...' and 'there's a 33% probability that women..' because one is stating that we went out and surveyed people, and the other is saying that based on the causal conditions, this is likely to be the case.
  • Weather, on 11/15/2007, -2/+35No bong hits and class blow offs that day. 100% attendance.
    • D1Foley, on 11/15/2007, -2/+0I would say bong hits before class but that would more than likely result in lots of inappropriate laughter.
  • MforMike, on 11/15/2007, -5/+25Her Nipples are crooked.
  • Anthem26, on 11/15/2007, -3/+2where can I sign up?
  • Crazyiodudo, on 11/15/2007, -3/+8Please offer this course at my college.
  • inara23, on 11/15/2007, -3/+18DeArmond "blogged" about her day on myspace: "directly after my scene i rushed home and changed my clothes. daniel and i headed to UC Irvine where we spoke at a sociology class. justin long and jon jon were there. i was like "wow ive ***** everyone on this panel of speakers, i rule.

    the kids loved me and i loved them back."
    ....seriously?
    • bdogm, on 11/15/2007, -7/+2....or literally? (the loving them back part)
  • SaladCactusKing, on 11/15/2007, -5/+69They watched porn on that big screen. A 3 feet wide vagina is scary as hell. Also, I pity her boyfriend Daniel, guy looks like a little brother who's just awkwardly smiling as his older sister gets DPd by a couple black dudes.
  • h4mx0r, on 11/15/2007, -6/+3"The three-hour class was divided into three segments: a lecture on the adult industry, a screening of clips from various films, and a question-and-answer session with the guest speakers."

    Screening of clips from various films. Sounds interesting.
  • ydt89, on 11/15/2007, -2/+16id actually be interested in listening to the question and answer part
  • DonJohnTom, on 11/15/2007, -4/+27screw engineering i just found my major!
    • plebiscite, on 11/15/2007, -3/+15I think screws have been pretty much perfected.
  • TheDHC, on 11/15/2007, -18/+8a class taught by know-nothing porn stars?
    • DanaDeArmond, on 11/15/2007, -8/+13just because someone is a porn star or anything else for a living doesnt mean they know nothing.
      • TheDHC, on 11/15/2007, -6/+2i suppose you're right, ron jermey holds a masters degree
      • scott2007, on 11/15/2007, -2/+4It doesn't mean they're experts in film production, sociology or business.... I would never advise someone to attend a university which pulls stunts like this.
        • zigspective, on 11/15/2007, -1/+2I agree, just because they happen to have sex professionally it does not mean they have any clue about sexual sociology. If we learned about sociology through sex, you really wouldn't need to be studying it in a class.
    • zmjone2992, on 11/15/2007, -1/+18it is about sex, I would say they are ***** experts
    • scott2007, on 11/15/2007, -4/+3No kidding. And we wonder why Americans are so below Western Europe in education.
      • macbwizard, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4False. We have the best colleges in the world.

        In regards to primary and secondary schools though, you are correct.
  • underburn, on 11/15/2007, -4/+4Sign me up.
  • boredsam, on 11/15/2007, -6/+6here's a fun game: Which person in this picture isn't a pornstar?
    http://laist.com/attachments/la_koga/DSC_48796dx.j ...
  • darnit, on 11/15/2007, -5/+3I wonder what the homework assignment was...
  • MacSawD, on 11/15/2007, -4/+3And to think, when I registered for Fall '07, that class was full.

    Damnit.
  • volcom88, on 11/15/2007, -4/+2ahhh I go to UCI! I guess I missed out.
  • Ughfish, on 11/15/2007, -3/+5I knew this was going to be from UCI.I took this class about 3 years ago. Be wary of the strawberry :/

    Really nifty class though, the teacher is the big woman in the 4th picture up from the bottom, who day one explains she is bi and that her boyfriend loves it.

    There was an entire night where we were presented with porno, we had a sex shop come in, they gave away rabbits to the ladies :S Overall its as kinky a class as one could hope
  • Genjeta, on 11/15/2007, -12/+17...gross
    she's quite unattractive
    • octopod42, on 11/15/2007, -5/+7LOL. I knew someone would say that.

      I'm sure most of the types who post on Digg are gorgeous enough to be allowed finicky opinions on the matter, though.
    • timjim31, on 11/15/2007, -3/+4I'd hit it
  • pixeldust, on 11/15/2007, -26/+2That article mentioned checking out this masterpiece:
    http://www.cupchicks.com/cupchicks.php
    • Batiu-Drami, on 11/15/2007, -2/+8***** you.
    • JLecker, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4Is that the same thing as 2 Chicks 1 Cup? If that's the case...
      ***** you.
  • xgambetx, on 11/15/2007, -9/+7that girl is really not attractive...
  • Thomaschaaf, on 11/15/2007, -12/+3"directly after my scene i rushed home and changed my clothes. daniel and i headed to UC Irvine where we spoke at a sociology class." WTH? She was ***** like an hour earlier?
    • boredsam, on 11/15/2007, -6/+22OMG SHE HAD SEX AND THEN TOOK HER SINFULNESS INTO PUBLIC!!?!?!!
    • passedoutghost, on 11/15/2007, -1/+9So what do you expect pornstars do? Write poems?
  • ZeroOrDie, on 11/15/2007, -3/+4I googled her, and wow. She must have had A LOT of makeup on during that ceremony. lol.
  • SaladCactusKing, on 11/15/2007, -4/+2Awkwaaaaarddddd
  • RmaS, on 11/15/2007, -5/+2*****! I toured UC Irvine but didn't apply there! I knew I should of....
  • Wartz, on 11/15/2007, -5/+4porn in title? dugg
  • 3tcp, on 11/15/2007, -7/+1Sounds like a good class to take to pick up girls, or to get slapped and kicked in the groin for trying. It would depend on the whore to feminist ratio. High risk - high reward I guess.
    • brianjlowry, on 11/15/2007, -4/+1Depends on how desperate you are.
  • pennpaper, on 11/15/2007, -1/+5well, i know where i'm applying to continue my degree...
    was it just me or did the lecturer look not likely to star in porno herself?
  • bingobongony, on 11/15/2007, -5/+2I a msure this date was obtained scientifically.
  • rshaan, on 11/15/2007, -4/+2this was at ucla also
  • SaladCactusKing, on 11/15/2007, -1/+17The subsequent question-and-answer session proved to be rather lively, with DeArmond serving as hostess and keeping the mood light in tone -- she pointed out that she was still wearing pornstar makeup from being on-set earlier in the day and that she had to wipe male ejaculate off her face before changing clothes and rushing down to Irvine for the class


    Ew.
  • Teburninator, on 11/15/2007, -2/+1Once again it's allllll about the pleasure. Woohoo Relativism... >:P
  • Damian91, on 11/15/2007, -2/+2"Ok class today we're going to talk about the kangaroo shuffle sex position"
  • jdbranded, on 11/15/2007, -1/+14I actually sat it on this class last year with a friend of mine. The strawberry clip certainly garnered the biggest yelps.
  • mrogi, on 11/15/2007, -5/+1I will enroll at any University that offers a course on sexuality if the teachers are Vanessa del Rio, Nina Hartley, Kitten Natividad, Jeannie Pepper or Candy Samples.
    • passedoutghost, on 11/15/2007, -0/+0Nina Hartley? You've got some bad fetish man....
  • underdog5004, on 11/15/2007, -2/+13dammit, this article made me want to google cupchicks...I wish I hadn't!
  • RSS14, on 11/15/2007, -2/+14All of the male porn stars which were there probably had Ph.Ds . . .

  • thailand1972, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4The course sounds like no soft option.
    • passedoutghost, on 11/15/2007, -0/+0And it's not that hard either....
    • jon30041, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1I'd say it sounds pretty hardcore.

      Yes, I did go there.
  • Zopwx2, on 11/15/2007, -1/+18HOLY *****! I was at this lecture.
    And those kids she met at IHOP? That was my friends and I.
    • fety, on 11/15/2007, -1/+4pics or you're lying! haha
      • Zopwx2, on 11/15/2007, -0/+8dang it no pics, but I give you my word. (which is worthless on the internet I know)

    • Eshestun, on 11/15/2007, -1/+4UCI represent! Wuwu!

      That seems to be PSLH100. I've spent about half my life there it seems.
      • Zopwx2, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3I have both bio and psych in pslh its ridiculous. But im not actually in soc 69. I was just there for the porn. The actual class is like 3 hours @ 7pm.
        • deceased88, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3Haha that class is soc 69. At least the university has a sense of humour.
      • kmusser, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2I had all my ochem, gen chem and almost all my bio classes there. I now loathe PSLH.
    • scott2007, on 11/15/2007, -6/+4You take this course? I hope your parents aren't paying for it! Transfer to a real university.
      • datastorageguy, on 11/15/2007, -2/+4Agreed. What a waste of time and money. I don't want to hear complaints from these students when an Indian guy and a Asian guy get a better job than they do.
        • Zopwx2, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1I'm not sure if you've been to UCI, everyone in that class was either indian or asian.
      • Jonsblckhwk, on 11/15/2007, -1/+3LOL@ people whom are scared of sexuality.
      • kmusser, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3... because a university where research is a top priority isn't real right? My 3 years spent in Genetics research there obviously mean the entire school is crap...

        Grow up.
      • ZenMojo, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1I graduated from Princeton. My first sociology class was "Sexuality in Modern Japan." We basically read dirty books and watched graphic sex scenes all day long.
        • Zopwx2, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1Haha no I don't take this course, I just sat in on porno day.

      • Zopwx2, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1No I don't take this class, I just sat in on porno day.
  • maxyRO, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4dang, i thought she was gonna strip
  • Eshestun, on 11/15/2007, -0/+8The course is listed as sociology 69 by the way.
  • meachen, on 11/15/2007, -5/+4her ***** are hanging to her belly button
  • weirdness67, on 11/15/2007, -9/+2For those curious as to what cupchicks is: http://cupchicks.com/cupchicks.php
