DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — A campus religious leader is unhappy about a study at Duke University that invites female students to attend parties where they can buy sex toys.
The News&Observer of Raleigh reported Friday that the director of the Duke Catholic Center has lodged a complaint with researchers. The Rev. Joe Vetter says the study doesn't promote relationships.
The study asks female students over age 18 to attend the events that are similar to Tupperware parties but with erotic toys, lingerie and games. The women complete surveys about their sexual attitudes before and after the parties and get product discounts.
A spokesman for Duke said the sex-toy party project went through the peer review process. Vetter says he plans to discuss the topic at Sunday mass.

Sex toys don't promote relationships? That's their complaint?
I understand the Catholic church is all about procreation: more children mean more members for the church, and therefore the church takes in more money. It's a business.
One of the real issues is that sex toys don't promote breeding. Let's assume most college girls are not married, and by the church's standards, shouldn't be having sex until marriage. If it's against dogma to have sex, what's the problem with sex toys?
Sex toys do promote pleasure, and Catholic women aren't supposed to want sexual pleasure. Intercourse is for procreation only, and all that.
So here we are with the Catholic church (and any other organized religion that wants to be able to control what goes on in your pants) coming up with dysfunctional reasoning. It would make me so happy if any one of the control freak clergy would come out and tell the truth about their complaint: Sex toys allow women pleasure without the need for a man.
Besides, trust me, sex toys do indeed promote relationships.
I understand how intimdating it can be when dildos can be made larger than caucasian penises, but I am doubtful any of these college girls planned to have sex with Vetter anyway. They are old enough to defend themselves.
