The group receiving the funding, Sex Out Loud, is part of Qouncil, the university coalition of LGBTQ+ organizations. The group advertises "free and confidential peer to peer counseling," as well as a "stocked library" and "free safer sex supplies (including condoms, lube, sex dams, gloves, and more)," Campus Reform reported on Tuesday.
The funding total is based upon a General Student Services Fund budget report reviewed by The Madison Federalist.
The university approved over $94,000 for Sex Out Loud salaries, such as the program facilitator, who provides presentations on "pleasure, kink, birth control, STIs, HIV/AIDS, and LGBTQ health." The student group encourages applications from "LGBTQ+ persons, people of color, and self-identifying men."
An additional $22,400 is earmarked for supplies including sex toys. Sex Out Loud also promotes brands like "Cute Little F*****s" and "The Tool Shed."
