Wednesday's sex screening in Collis, hosted by Dartmouth's student sex awareness group, the Sexperts, featured flavored lube tasting, condom exercises with dildos, rubber dental dam competitions and personal risk consultations. The event, which was inspired by Spring term's alcohol screening, aimed to inform students of both the sexual risks and resources on campus. Upon entering, students were provided with surveys, which they completed before speaking privately with a consultant. "We want people to talk about getting pleasure and giving pleasure," Jessica Lane '09, Sexpert member and organizer of the event, said.
