Standalone | That nice, grandmotherly lady said what?

Squeamishness about sex had no place at last night's Lecture Series event featuring Dr. Ruth Westheimer. "How many sperm does it take to get a girl pregnant?" the sexologist asked the audience, which filled about half of Cabot Auditorium. When members of the audience said "one," Westheimer corrected them: "The answer," she said, "is one fast sperm." Westheimer lectured for an hour, focusing on safe sex (even though men have told her that wearing a condom "feels like taking a shower with a raincoat on") and voicing support for gay rights as well as pro-choice policies. She then answered questions, some of which were asked directly by audience members, and others which were submitted anonymously on paper by attendees at the beginning of the event. One of Westheimer's bits of advice? "It's your moral responsibility to tell your partner if you have herpes."
