This is in response to Samuel Passi regarding the Durex vibrator ad (“Susie needs a husband, not sex-toy stimulation,” Feb. 11).

Are we really going to compare a college newspaper, whose readers included those over the age of 18 and beyond, with that of a junior high or elementary school handout? Seriously? We are all adults here, albeit some more immature than others, but adults nonetheless.

Furthermore, maybe the last thing “Chess Club Susie” wants to do is come home to a husband and kids, no matter how loving and faithful. Maybe she just wants that quick fix her sex toy is going to give her. It’s just as faithful and the worst it can do to her is run out of batteries. At least it’s not asking her to make dinner and clean up after the kids after a long day of working and studying and going to class.
