The demonstration featured use of a sex toy on a naked woman by her fiance in front of more than 100 students at an after-class event for a sexuality course at the prestigious private university in Evanston, Illinois, north of Chicago.
"I regret allowing the controversial after class demonstration on February 21st," Professor J. Michael Bailey, who teaches a popular class on human sexuality, wrote in a statement.
"I regret the effect that this has had on Northwestern University's reputation, and I regret upsetting so many people in this particular manner. I apologize," he wrote.
He added that the demonstration was "relevant" to the class but that he would not allow a similar event again.
