A Swarthmore College student group is using school resources and receiving class credit for its push to promote masturbation on campus.

A student group is receiving class credit for promoting masturbation on campus.

The group, titled the American Masturbatory Theater Company (AMTC,) holds “rehearsals” in campus facilities. Although, so far, there have been no reports of actual masturbation, that may be just a matter of time.

Members will be allowed to pleasure themselves as long as it is “constructive and not traumatic to other group members,” the group’s founder Sam Shuker-Haines, who identifies himself as “guenderqueer,” told the Swarthmore college newspaper, The Phoenix.

So far, activities have included students touching each other, collapsing into each other’s bodies, simulating animal mating calls, and staring deeply into each other’s eyes, according to Shuker-Haines.  

Shuker-Haines also requested Campus Reform refer to her by a gender-neutral pronoun such as “they” or using “s/he/.”
