CINCINNATI -- The head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati says a week of activities focusing on sex education at the University of Cincinnati is "profoundly disturbing."
"Sexploration" features talks by sex researchers, condom giveaways and a "Pizza and Porn" night. Sponsors include the university's Wellness Center and Pure Pleasure Inc., which sells lotions and sex toys.
Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk issued a statement Wednesday criticizing the university for allowing what he calls "the gross disregard of the moral sensibilities of many in the university community."
A university spokesman says the program responds to student interest in sexual wellness and health. He says the Wellness Center is supported by student fees, not tuition, and that programs focus on issues of interest to students.
