We had a human sexuality lecture during second year, where the professor spent ten minutes telling us about how a guy once broke into his family's house and stole his daughters' underwear. Great detail was given to the kinds of underwear stolen (silk & satin taken, cotton left behind), followed by descriptions of the perpetrator's possible motivations.
We had a lecture on anatomy of the inguinal area...specifically the cremaster muscle and the various reflexes, notably the "stroking" reflex as our prof called it. Basically if you stroke the inner/frontal thigh areas areas, the cremaster contracts, thus raising your balls.
Our prof, who happened to be a tall, thin black woman with a deep southern accent, told all the ladies to "just stroke your men's thigh and see what happens." Many of us didn't know how to take it.
1970's porn-style vids of sex therapy:
a guy moving his kid's stuffed animal out of the way to give his wife more room on the bed
a guy with a premature ejaculation problem wiggling his butt all over the place while his superior partner (reverse cowgirl if memory serves) pushes him out and squeezes his weiner to stall the delivery
a lady with vaginismus applying dilators while the narrator says "contract, relax, contract, relax"
I also get kind of annoyed when profs excessively go over erection physiology and the mechanism of sildenafil. We get it. Dudes' pee pee's get stiff when they want to do the lay down dancing. I think we all know how it works thanks.

Ha, we had the same lecture....but this wonderful reflex was talked about as well---

a little off topic, but this reminded me of best question ever asked. During a gross lecture of female anatomy, by our prof who is retired and about 70, "so where's the G-spot, because I can never find it." I don't think I have ever seen a lecturer so derailed and a class out of control.
This morning we had a lecturer go over by 4 minutes, the course director was sitting near the back and disconnected the projector, effectively ending the lecture (preventing it from going to 10 minutes over which is the way things were looking based on the number of slides left). Mad points to the course director.
While that is kinda funny, isn't rather rude? Besides, the material will probably be on the test regardless.
Edit: Upon further investigation turns out the bulb on the projector broke so they moved some afternoon classes out of that auditorium. The timing was just fortuitous. The course director was walking out of the media room after having entered to investigate why the projector stopped. So, points to the projector.
interesting...99% of these lectures are sexually related. u know, for an aspect of life that is needed more than anything else, we sure treat it with a lot of uncomfortable fidgets and giggles then again, those happen to b the classes where the professors joke around, so i guess its all good ^_^
Next week we have listed on our schedule the following two lectures:
Complementary and Alternative medicine in psychiatry (meh)
and, get this...
Yoga and Psychiatry (WTF?)

I actually think that medical school needs to have some CAM so I can understand the potentially dangerous non-evidence based medicine my pts are using.
I agree, I think yoga is probably pretty good for just about anybody. I'm just wondering what argument they are going to make for the use of yoga in psychiatry.
"This patient presented with the chief complaint of voices in their head. Our plan is 3 weeks of daily Ashtanga."
I don't know about yoga, but a lot of studies have been done on the effects of various kinds of meditation on the body. Just because it's not a chemical doesn't mean it can have no effect, so don't be so dismissive of something that could potentially help people.

we had a lecture, grand rounds, and another half lecture on gaucher's disease, but not a single one on cystic fibrosis all year.
the thinking behind this i think is weird, tho the lecture i guess was pretty bland
we learned SMA twice, even though its the second most lethal AR disease after...guess what? cystic fibrosis
of interest, we spent a total 5 minutes this ear on the nose, 10 on the middle ear, and nothing on the inner ear. nothing on meniere's disease. but a full lecture and a half on...gaucher
