Yep, you read it correctly. Seems New Zealand is considering offering college courses about prostitution. I haven't a clue what curriculum such coursed may fit but...I can come up with a few and suggested titles:

Business: The ins and outs of profits in prostitution.
Sociology: The psychological impact of prostitution on customers. Lab required.
Psychology: What drives men and women into prostitution? Lab required.
Education: The effects of prostitution on the learning process.
Medicine: Methods to prevent STD when using prostitutes services. Lab required.
Nursing: The medical therapeutic effect of prostitutes on the healing process.

Now it is your turn to suggest courses. I think we can leave required labs to the imagination…but…then…

I wouldn't take a course as I'm too lazy/don't have the cash

however...

Physical education: how to take a dump in a guys mouth on command whilst providing entertainment for a family of circus bears

Why not take a course on prositution? The historical treatment of this profession, contemporary issues, etc etc. There is a lot that could be looked at when it comes to this topic.

I think all the students should have to be a prostitute for a day in order to pass :P

if it was in tiajauna it would include the management of equine injuries.

Huh... interesting.

The University of Nevada and UNLV have, of course, studied prositution (Having a good supply close at hand) but I don't think they've ever offered courses in it...

Er... certain rummors about UNLV not withstanding. ;)

easy A? think you got the staying power to keep pounding on the assignments?

Think it's easy to reach deep and to thrust yourself into the lessons?

and remember... at the same time, you have to deal with all the p***ks and c**ts in the classroom.

easy A... *scoffs*

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10452364I think you might not have read that correctly. The article just says that if some institution would want to provide such a course, then TEC wouldn't a priori dismiss it, but based on objective ("agnostic") criteria decide whether to give funding or not.

Sorry. My boyfriend's a Poli Sci major. I had to laugh out loud at that one.

Edit: On a more serious note, part of the French Revolution course I took last year was a brief study of Parisian prostitutes. Historically, and in terms of social ramifications, I think it'd be a great course.

Well, if you look at ancient societies, prostitution could be a very respectable profession indeed. Take the Greek Hetaera, for example, or temple prostitutes in biblical Israel. In more recent history, look at Madame de Pompadour or Nell Gwyn. They never were overlords as such, but they could have tremendous influence on politics and society.
