‘O’pening up about sex Sexy presentation for students begs the question, ‘Are you coming?’ NICOLE SMITH
editor in chief
Minnesota State students will be able to gain insight on “getting off” Thursday night with a presentation that can’t be compared to just any sexual position. “It’s [like] everything from foreplay to ecstasy to cuddling afterwards,” joked Jocelyn Benson, a sex educator who will present The Female “O” alongside fellow presenter of
the Sex Discussed Here! team, Marshall Miller. Although the female orgasm is the topic of conversation, Miller and Benson will answer questions and inform the audience on many sexrelated topics, including issues of health, body image and achieving orgasms that will resonate with men and women. “[The] female orgasm has got to be one of life’s more interesting subjects,” said Miller. “I haven’t met people
who aren’t interested in it, whatever their age or gender.” Miller and Benson are part of a group of sex educators who have given more than 500 lectures, trainings and presentations at colleges and universities, organizations, businesses and events. Benson said the students who attend their lectures often send e-mails with positive feedback.

she was babysitting. “How they got my name, I’ll never know,” said Clink. Clink wanted to go into the publishing field, but knew there was no money to be made in the field, so she went back to school for library sciences. “I figured I could still work with books but in a library setting,” she said. It was a good decision. “Being a librarian is the funnest job in the world,” she said. Clink’s favorite part about her job is the fact that she gets to see students develop. “It’s a privilege to work with people in the process of
becoming,” she said, saying college was like a “jello effect” and that throughout college, students have to make decisions that shape who they are as people. “Their faces change,” she said. “You can see the character in their faces.” Clink called the reference desk “the place where everything comes together.” She believes the fact that she is a good listener, as well as a trustworthy person, make her a good fit for the job. “I’m very intellectually curious,” Clink said. “And [as a librarian], every day I learn
