Abstract
In this paper I report on a pedagogical technique, the anonymous sexuality essay, which has been used and tested for eight semesters in an undergraduate sociology of sexuality course as a device to bridge some of the conflicts between the traditional structure of the classroom and the somewhat unusual demands involved in teaching sexuality. Using a symbolic interactionist perspective, I find that the series of anonymous essays creates a world between professor and student, coexisting with but separate from the more traditional, overt academic environment. Within the different norms of this private world, students behave differently. Rewards occur for both students and professor as the essays open a channel for an alternative method of communication within the traditional course structure.
