Harvard Approves BDSM Club
That’s right. With the popularity of Fifty Shades of Grey, BDSM is now mainstream.
Harvard University has approved a student BDSM club, Harvard College Munch. Approval by the Committee on Student Life will allow Munch to host and promote gatherings on campus and apply for grants from the Drug and Alcohol Peer Advisors organization. The group’s founder, known only as Michael, says that the group will now have “institutional support” to provide reassurance to its members:
Harvard administrators were to formally approve the group, Harvard College Munch, on Friday, The Harvard Crimson reported. The recognition means the group, which has grown to 30 members since its informal founding earlier this year, can officially meet on campus to discuss issues related to the bondage-discipline, dominant-submission, and sadism-masochism communities, known collectively as BDSM.
More important, its founder told the newspaper, speaking under the pseudonym “Michael,” is that the move bestows “the fact of legitimacy.”
We’ve come a long way since I was in college in the 1980s when gays were barely tolerated. Now, the fun of kinky sex is part of everyday conversation!
