porn at 7:50 am?

I watched Kinsey on Sunday with Q while we were recovering from our Saturday night goodbye BBQ for N & M (moving to Ireland - how nifty!). It was a great movie - really well acted - so I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's shocking to see how in the dark Americans were back then about sex. We're still in the dark today, but in a very different way.

The movie reminded me of a class I took in college. I can't remember what it was called, but it was basically a sex psych or sociology class. We learned about Kinsey and others like him, and watched plenty of films. As a way to deter people from taking the class (it filled up very quickly), it was at 7:50 am. I remember that when the prof would show the 'educational' films, the class would be filled to the brim, while on other days, hardly half the seats were taken. I'm convinced that people would show up just to see the films, that they weren't even enrolled in the class.

You've got to be pretty hard up for porn when you're going to a class you're not even getting credit for at 7:50 am.
