The University of Toronto is offering undergraduates a program in which they can learn about sexual role-play, flogging and restraint. The Sexual Diversity Program, established eight years ago, brings an academic approach to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual issues. The professors at the university say it's a serious field of study.

Director David Rayside tells Reuters, "It's a very serious analytical exercise, and it isn't what a lot of people think it is." "A lot of the people from the university, from the president on down, think that what we're doing is important work," Rayside says.
