A
full room shared a night of laughter and
insight as KROQ disc jockey Ralph Garman
wowed audiences with “Ralph’s Sex-U at The
Beach” on Tuesday, sponsored by the Student
Alumni Association.
Audience members included students enrolled
in human sexuality courses as well as those
interested in the wisdom Garman had to share
about sexual experiences.
Garman, who has been a disc jockey on the
“Kevin and Bean Show” for five years, hosts
a segment every Thursday morning called
“Sex-U,” sharing with listeners various
types of fetishes and exploring interesting
and sometimes bizarre sexual fantasies.
Garman covered topics from the segment and
those that could never hit the air waves
due to Federal Communications Commission
regulations.
“The FCC has very strict rules,” Garman
said. “One of the things I cannot describe
on the air is the procedure of a sexual
act.”
On top of all the discussion of how Garman
runs his segment, he directed his views
about the absolutes for sexual morality
and how people’s preferences help identify
who they are.
“I think that there is no one thing that
works for sex,” Garman said. “People need
to take time for them and find out their
own connection with sex, and not be influenced
by outside sources such as church and your
parents.”
Sharing the belief that some partners might
not be open and direct in terms of sharing
fantasies, and exploring sexuality, Garman
said that many people are unaware of what
those sexual acts are about.
“There are a lot of people living in the
dark about sex,” Garman said.
Garman explained his fascination with sexuality
and the issue of parenting versus when children
can understand the importance of sex.
“I understand that there are kids as young
as 10 that listen to my program,” Garman
said. “It might be due to bad parenting,
however I believe a parent should teach
before the age of 13.”
After hearing the discussion, fashion and
design major Lindsey Mettam said that she
is interested in hearing the Thursday morning
segment.
“I never listened to his show before, but
after hearing the discussion I will check
it out,” Mettam said.
Human sexuality professor Phil Falcetti
said that the mass turnout of students and
faculty enjoyed hearing the discussion.
“With the number of students in the room,
the response was awesome,” Falcetti said.
Overall, Garman said students asked the
right kinds of questions and was pleased
to give insight to students on sexual awareness.
“I give thanks to the Student Alumni Association
for allowing me to speak,” Garman said.
“References of sexuality help give people
an idea and understanding of what’s out
there.”
