Sam Richards, a professor at Penn State has reportedly challenged sociology students in one of his classes to watch lesbian or gay pornography to unlock or learn a fresh side of their sexuality, reports FOX

The professor said,

“If you’re straight, watch gay or lesbian porn and see how quickly you feel aroused. And how you can’t control that. You’ll realize that, ‘Oh, d—, I could be sexualized by people who are like me.’” 

“We are all at some level nonbinary,”

Richards said as he calculated the beliefs of some

“sociologist,”

he continued,

“We’re all, very much, easily bisexual.”

In response, the class remained quiet, and the professor then asked,

“I might have hit a nerve there. Did I hit a nerve?”

Richards continued to advise students to watch lesbian and gay pornography to scuffle with their sexual emotions as he addressed straight students, specifically, males in the classroom, according to Fox. 

“Watch gay porn. See if you feel that feeling. If you feel that feeling, look in a mirror, and say huh, maybe I’m just feeling some things that I’m just afraid to release. And maybe you release that and maybe you’d be surprised that maybe you actually are fine being more bisexual,”

said the Penn State professor. 

The college told Fox Digital that

“academic freedom for faculty”

was significant in encouraging

“critical thinking and discussion. ”

“Professor Richards purposefully teaches in a manner designed to promote discussion across a spectrum of opinions. His class is not mandatory but is a popular elective that students choose to join.” 

According to the professor’s YouTube channel, the class was conducted on Dec. 6 2022, as the topic for that day was

“A Conversation on Trans Issues, TERFS, and The Binary.”

If you’re unaware TERF means

“trans-exclusionary radical feminist.”
