Many universities hold what is called ‘sex week’ on their campuses, that cover topics from pornography to polyamory. Other events occur outside of ‘sex week,’ sometimes catering to odd fetishes or encouraging sexual deviance.

Campus Reform has compiled a list of 4 of the weirdest sex fetishes found on campus in 2023.
