Duke University’s Sex Toy Study Receives Criticism

A sex toy study being conducted at Duke University is receiving criticism from the University's Catholic Center Director.

A study on sex toys at Duke University has resulted in criticism and disapproval by the Director of the University’s Catholic Center, Father Joe Vetter.   

According to the news article from NewsOberserver.com, Duke University had recruited students who were 18 years of age and older to participate in a “sexual explicit” study that involves sex toys.  Ads to recruit for the study had been posted on the University’s web site and around the campus.  “Participants will be asked to complete online questionnaires about their sexual attitudes and behaviors and visit the lab for a "one-hour party" with seven or eight women. Not only will the students be asked to complete a second questionnaire a couple of months later, they will receive a gift bag and be given the opportunity to purchase items at a significantly reduced rate.”

Father Joe Vetter expressed disapproval for the study stating  "I'm concerned about promiscuity also," Vetter said. "And to be honest, I don't have the solution. ... My concern is these students are in this developmental phase, and I don't think it's a good developmental practice to just tell somebody to just sit around and masturbate. I don't think that promotes relationship.”

Duke University’s Michael Schoenfeld, Duke's vice president for public affairs, stated that the sex toy party project went through a rigorous review process before any students were sought.

"Not all research will make people comfortable. In fact, there's a lot of things, there are a lot of questions, there are a lot of issues that are studied at a university that make people uncomfortable," Schoenfeld said. "That's how we get an understanding of things like ethics (and) behavior."

Father Joe Vetter does not buy it. "It's not fostering relationships, and it seems to me that one of the things that we want young people to do is to figure out how to have deep, intimate friendships and relationships," he said. "I would draw the line at a different place. I don't think that it's a good idea."
