As part of the latest event in the Sex Week at Yale series, Matador spoke to a packed audience for 90 minutes, revealing tips and tricks from his unusual trade: seduction. Mystery, the creator of the VH1 program, could not attend because of illness.

Why offer up all the information in the workshop before someone pays for it? It could have been under it all, an advertising session.

I'm disappointed in my old alma mater, the supposed cradle for change. "scripted seduction is just in poor taste"??? Haha. That is a comment someone who just sits leisurely by and lets people do things for them.

in closing open your minds, because that is what Yale is all about.
