He understands why some students and families may have been offended by title names like "We Can't Stop: org*sms Masturbation" or speakers like sexologist Tristan Taormino.

In fact, Carilli said he sat in the back of the room during some events that made him pretty embarrassed. But others, he said, were very thought provoking and intellectually stimulating.
