Harvard Grants Official Recognition to Kinky BDSM Sex Club: ‘It’s Crazy’

Harvard Grants Official Recognition of Kinky BDSM Sex Club: Its Crazy

People are led on a tour group at the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. Thursday, Aug. 30, 2012. Dozens of Harvard University students are being investigated for cheating after school officials discovered evidence they may have wrongly shared answers or plagiarized on a final exam. Harvard officials on Thursday didn’t release the class subject, the students’ names, or specifically how many are being investigated. (Credit: AP)

Harvard University, one of the most prestigious Ivy League schools in the nation, granted a controversial student BDSM sex club official school recognition on Wednesday, according to Harvard’s student newspaper The Crimson.

About 20 student members make up the sex club, Harvard College Munch. The group meets weekly to talk about important matters related to BDSM and other types of kinky sex.

Now that they have been granted school recognition, the club can now apply for university funding and promote their group on school property, The Crimson reports.

Attempts made by TheBlaze to contact a spokesperson from Harvard University were unsuccessful late Thursday night.

The Leadership Institute’s Campus Reform has more details on the kinky club:

In an article published earlier this year, students in the group spoke freely about fantasies of rape, forced feeding, and impersonating animals during sex.

The founder of the group, who has been kept anonymous, told The Crimson that the chief advantage of being granted recognition “is the fact of legitimacy.”

He added that school recognition “shows we are being taken seriously.”

Some students argue Harvard’s decision to grant them official school recognition is extremely misguided.

“It’s crazy,” James McGlone, vice president of the Harvard College Anscombe Society, a pro-abstinence group, told Campus Reform.

“I don’t think they are healthy or beneficial for any students and to legitimize this student group is irresponsible for the administration,” he said.

“Harvard University was recently the site of controversy over an ‘incest-fest’ party which a prominent hall hosts in the winter,” according to Campus Reform.

“About 20 student members make up the sex club, Harvard College Munch. The group meets weekly to talk about important matters related to BDSM and other types of kinky sex.” Important matters?? Really? This is exactly why we are going to send our kids to truck driver school instead of college. At least they will learn a trade. And we wonder why our youth are so misguided??

My children will NEVER go to a school that allows such a club. This is extremely troubling on so many levels.

  Don’t mislabel this as freedom of expression. Nobody is suggesting they can’t discuss their “issues.” But to grant them university funding? That’s problematic.

  Issues ? Surely you meant discuss their “choices”… They are, afterall, consenting adults.

This is what our bastions of “education” have to offer in open mindedness and education. Pathetic.

I have a couple of friends that are into B&D. It’s not really what most people think it is. I was very surprised that it is mostly fantasy and role play.
S&M is a whole different beast though

In the past you had to demonstrate a BIBLICAL proficiency and literacy to even be considered for Harvard but that was before the Fabians, the Frankfurt School and Antonio Gramsci who brought into higher education radicals whose goal was to take a Judeo/Christian culture down from the inside. To create an America so corrupt it stinks, to drive the culture in a direction designed to destroy it. This is some of the rotten fruit of this vile tree – If you don’t know who these people are you need to!

Sooooo, they want official recognition but also wish to remain anonymous? Then what’s the point? It’s not like people aren’t going to find out who they are once they start promoting their fetish-fest all over campus. The “founder” must not have gotten permission from his top to reveal himself. Freak.

  Hey, Jack! Yeah, I know, it IS early, isn’t it? I’m up for work, actually. I try to get through my 8 hours before the kids get home from school. It’s an icky schedule but such are the things I do for my offspring. Just one more benefit of working in a remote office. :)
  
  You’re up early, too, my friend. What’s up with that??

  BIOHAZARD, You are up early, but as late as I am running this morning I suppose that you are already at work. I hear you on those hours around the kids. We only have one and he is a young adult now. Hang in there, it gets better again.
  I swear, this is one of the sickest things I’ve heard of and I lived in Europe for almost nine years.

  Hey, RJ, and good morning to you, my friend. Yeah, I work from home and I love it. I’m here for the kids before school and when they get home. I’m also here for the Little Man so we don’t have to send him to day care. Yay!!
  
  I hope your son doesn’t/didn’t go to a school like this. WTH is WRONG with people these days??? And who in their right mind thought this kind of thing is OK to openly promote? I thought these people preferred to keep their activities kinda private.

  You’re a busy girl, Bio. Me, I dozed watching the tube, and got up about 2 a.m., made some joe and stayed up. My sleep’s not the best with the state of the Country and the rest of the world. (Any holes in Texas near you that I can crawl in for a while and forget about everything? Don’t worry…I’ll bring my own grog and won’t bum any off of you. :) )

  Well, since I’m in FL I’m sure there’s someplace warm on the beach we could find for you. St Pete Beach should work just fine and there’s a lot of beach bars to enjoy, too. Will that suffice? :)

No doubt the founder wants to stay anonymous. I have no doubt that his or her parents would be proud of what their money is supporting and going toward.

I just want to throw up at the direction this country, and our so-called institutions of higher learning, are taking.

  Every parent should not pay a cent for their children to attend this sorry place. No federal funding for anything associated should be forthcoming for this nasty bunch of hedonists.

  A classy club for a classy university of higher education. This nonsense is comming about for the same reason in Rhode Island the official Christmas tree is now called the ‘Holiday’ tree: “Times are changing,” as Horse’s A$$ Chafee would say. I might add not for the betterment of society.

Wonder if this club pays homage to Tom Lehrer, Harvard alumni and former faculty member, who wrote humorous parody songs including “The Masochism Tango”.

Sounds like a pedophile club, a rapist club, an orgy club, a pervert club… it’s a disgrace they are funding this. Probably because the old men in charge of the entire campus want to join in. Creeps. College is not educational, only mentally deranged.
