Filth in Thursday's issue promotes pre-marital sex

Publication Date: 04/02/2007

It seems to me that in today's culture, morals are but gone. Last week I saw the "Sexual Position of the Week" in the Exponent. It seems to me that a newspaper that wants to be taken seriously would rather leave a blank spot on its pages than print an image that could be viewed as pornographic. I know that there are very few children here on Purdue's campus that could or would even read the Exponent, but as an adult I find it offensive. You are actively promoting sex prior to marriage by inferring that trying these sexual positions each week is what college students should do. If you are going to continue with this segment in your newspaper, rather than focus on relevant stories, then you will find yourself without me as a reader. I know I am only one person but I am sure I am not alone in my feeling toward this segment in your newspaper.
