Comedian, self-proclaimed 'sex expert' discusses sex rules
• Speaker Maria Falzone tells ·U of L students many
people are still too close-1ninded about sex
By Amy Grimes
Staff Writer
Maria Falzone considers her­self
a sex expert. Last Thursday
~he told students at the Univer­.
sity of Louisville why.
"I don't have a Ph.D. in sex.
I'm not a therapist," said
Falzone. "I feel what qualifies
me to · talk about sex is that I
have incredible sex."
Falzone, a 37 year old stand­up
comedy, has been speaking
about 'Sex Rules' for three
years, and has spoke at over 300
college campuses across the
country. She was asked to speak
to U of L stndents by the Stu-dent
Activities Board. Her talk
was ranked Hrst as a Safer Sex
and AIDS awarness program in
the early '90s; and she has ap­peared
on A & E' s Evening at
the Irnprov, NBC's Friday Nite
Videos, and Showtirne' s Full
Frontal Comedy.
"No one ever talked to me
about sex," she said. "I don't
understand how we send chil­dren
off to college to become
prepared for the world, but no
one ever tells them about sex.
. We are still so close-minded
about sex."
Looking ba,ck, Falzone thinks
she wasn't ready or mature
enough when she had her first
sexual experience.
"At 22, I wasn't ready to have
sex," Falzone remembered. "If
I could go back in time and meet
myself I don't even think I
would know myself."
"I was never told it was a
wonderful thing," she said. "I
was told that's all men wanted;
and my friends scared me to
death about it. No one ever said
to me, 'it's okay to be afraid."'
Until Falzone was 28, she
never had sex without alcohol
or drugs. And then she received
what she calls a "wake-up call."
"For the next eight years I
had shity sex," said Falzone.
"When I was 28 I got herpes
from a friend. He thought, if he
wasn't contagious, he didn't
have anything to worry about."
"That was my wake-up call.
I thank God I
didn't get
HIV. I was

Falzone is also a advocate of
vibrators and masturbation.

Falzone
explained to
students the
rules for sex
she has cre­ated.
"The first
rule is to
know your­self,"
she
said. "The

.Falzone said
women don't
know their own sexual_power.
"Woman can bring themselves
to an orgasm with !their minds. I
think, I come, therefore I am," she
said. "Imagine if every woman in
the world stopped and honed her
sexual energy for an hour."
Falzone says that people often
don't know if they have a sexu­ally
transmitted disease because
they don't know what disease
symptoms are and what they
look like.
"If you have unprotected sex,
go get checked out. You're gam­bling,"
she said.
During her lecture, Falzone
demonstrated the expendability
of a condom by stretching one
over someone' s head. She also
used an audience member to
demonstrate communication.
"Communication is important
for great sex. You don't want to
be with someone who isn't in­touch
with themselves emotion­ally,"
she said.

The University of Louisville's
Papa John's Cardinal Stadium
has been selected as the newest
site to hold a Chow Wagon dur­ing
the 1999 Kentucky Derby Fes­tival.
· The Chow Wagon is set to
open Thursday, A pril22, and will
·run through Friday, April30.
Erin Dullaghan, Communica­tions
Manager for the 1999 Ken­tucky
Derby Festival, said be­sides
the fact that it will be
opened for lunch instead of just
in the evening, it will be a typical
Chow Wagon. It will consist of a
variety of food and live entertain­ment
throughout . the day, and
have a festival atmosphere, she
said.
"We moved it from Louisville
Motor Speedway hoping to draw
more lunch crowds," Dullaghan
said.
Dullaghan said the location is
likely to attract U of L ·students
and commuters on 1-65 looking
for a place to enjoy lunch.
"It was an option given to us
and we thought it was a perfect
location," Dullaghan said.
· "Revenue generated by the
Chow Wagons ate a major source
of funding for the (Derby) festi­val,"
Dullaghan said.
The Chow Wagons begin to
operate for pine days prior to the
Kentucky Derby, and a Pegasus
pin - which can be purchased
primarily at convenient stores
throughout Louisville ~are re­quired
for admission.
