When I decided to go to the discussion that we were told about, I had no idea who Leonore Tiefer was, or what she was even presenting about. I'm honestly not sure what was expecting, but it was not that talk and discussion that ended up happening. I was amazed at how this woman could give us so much information, and make a room of sleepy students interested. She was very funny, like Laura and Ryan pointed out, but I think when dealing with this topic, you have to be. I have been told by friends and family who live out of country, that Americans are often thought to be prudish and ashamed of their own bodies. That may be why this "medication for sex" is so popular in this country. Knowledge about sex is available, but not in the way it should be, in my (and by the sounds of it) Leonore Tiefer's opinion. The nervous laughter that was heard when graphic images were being shown is a testament of that.
I am very happy that I decided to attend the presentation. I certainly learned a lot about these surgeries that she talked about. Coincidentally, I was a bit addicted to the show Dr. 90210, but i had never really thought it was anything to be concerned about. Now, I have a bit more reservation for it.
