Pennsylvania: “If you’re straight, watch gay or lesbian porn and see how quickly you feel aroused,” said a sociologist professor from the coveted Penn State University in one of his classes.

Professor Sam Richards suggested that if his students, who identify as straight, watch gay or lesbian porn they will be able to discover a new side of their sexuality, according to Fox News.

“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.’”

He also claimed that everyone at some level is a nonbinary – a person who doesn’t conform to gender norms. “We’re all, very much, easily bisexual,” he added.

The class was mostly silent after professor Richards made the proposition. Following this, he asked, “I might have hit a nerve there. Did I hit a nerve?”

Directing his lecture to “straight folks” and “especially men”, Richards reiterated that they must watch gay porn and try to grapple with their sexual feelings, a statement that invited a couple of laughs.

“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,” he said.

The day professor Richards made these suggestions, the topic of the class was “A Conversation on Trans Issues, TERFS, and The Binary”.

That day he also recalled a story about a student who transitioned to a different gender and encouraged female students to stand and urinate.

“Women, you should know this by the way, the little trick, you can have a little piece of leather and fold it up and use that to go in the urinal or go outside,” he said.

A well-known professor, Sam Richard’s course is quite popular among students, according to Penn State University’s website.

“Every semester 725 students register for SOC 119, the largest race and ethnic relations course in the country. In that room they have the opportunity to re-examine the world and challenge what they believe to be their place in it from a new perspective,” the website said.
