University apologizes for telling students to "rub one out"

Do the scriptures say YHWH allows it or not?

ROCHESTER, New York - A university that during a student orientation session showed a slide that appeared to suggest masturbation as a deterrent to sexual assault has apologized.

The Rochester Institute of Technology's slide featured the Winnie the Pooh character Roo, using the kangaroo character's name as an acronym about masturbation.

A screenshot of the slide was shared via social media and included closed-captioning at the bottom that read: "Self-gratification can prevent sexual assault."

Roo was short for "rub one out." Critics said the slide made light of rape and blasted the idea that masturbation could curb someone's urge to commit sexual assault.

University officials said the screenshot was taken out of context and the discussion addressed options available should a potential sexual partner withdraw consent.

"The overarching goal was to increase awareness and promote discussion about the ways we together can prevent instances of sexual misconduct on our campus," Sandra Johnson, senior vice president for student affairs, said in a statement shortly after the late-August presentation.

 

She said the controversy over the slide, one of 77 shown, "serves to underscore the complexity involved in addressing this issue." More
