Sulli-fun: Margaret gets busy
Following on from the accusations of sexism over The Tab’s very own ‘Tab Totty’ section last term, the second edition of Harvard University’s newest porn magazine ‘Diamond’ has been released.
The only academic institution in the world able to compete in any way with our own has seen a surge in the numbers of such publications over the past few years.
It is the ‘Diamond’ however, that has really caught the eye of the worldwide press.
The magazine seems to have come under far less scrutiny than The Tab's light hearted 'Totty' section did last term, despite its inclusion of full-frontal nudity.
Nicknamed the ‘Playboy of Harvard’, the magazine is an alternative to the more artistic ‘H-Bomb’, another sex focused publication made by, and for, the students.
The two magazines are not the only examples of students entering the industry.
Ex-student Tanya Berzeh recently won an award for her pornographic work which includes films such as ‘Naughty Garden’ and ‘Real Sex: Porn 101: XXXtra Credit’.
Creator and Editor of the Diamond, Matt DiPasquale, said that although he has received a lot of attention from further a field, the Harvard community doesn’t really seem to care.
In the first edition DiPasquale included a ten page spread of topless photos of himself, accompanied by an interview in which he did the questioning, and the answering.
As if his readers needed it clarified, the computer-science grad states in his one-man-interview that ‘I just need everyone to know that I love sex… I'm available and currently accepting applications!’
“I wanted to make a statement” he said. “Sex isn’t a bad thing. Sex can be fun.”
The most recent edition features naked Princeton student Margaret Sullivan on the cover, which also includes the tagline "Who knew smart people could be so sexy" and "Our time to shine".
Although DiPasquale claims that the reaction from his ‘fans’ has been resoundingly positive, feedback from the first issue reportedly included much female criticism that "Harvard needs better men".
