To snip or not to snip: weighing pros and cons

At birth, the penis comes with an extra inch or two of skin that covers the glans (the head of the penis) when flaccid. This is the foreskin, a contentious debate in Penile Politics these days. Many individuals at birth, or other times, undergo circumcision to remove the foreskin from the penis, leaving the glans open when both flaccid and erect. There are those who value circumcision is as a tradition in both religious and cultural contexts. It is common in America, while many Europeans are, as they say, “uncut.”...

Harry’s take: what’s happening down there

By HARRY SASSCROTCH Pubic Hair.  It’s one of the few aspects of sex that is ever given really serious thought.  Yet we see it all the time (don’t act like you’ve never seen it in the shower). Not only do we see our own set of pubes (or even a lack thereof), many are constantly barraged with images from porn or elsewhere. Jokes are made about shaving it, porn stars have them specifically trimmed or waxed, even celebrities advocate the latest beauty trends about it! First things first, everyone’s pubes...

Moving to the music: a ‘heightening’ experience

To those devoted listeners to KUPS, there is a new show that comes on Sundays at 6 p.m. that has given a new direction to the station.

Kama sutra in a dorm room

Well, it’s that time of year again: when students travel back to campus and move into new dorm rooms. And as the year begins anew, we once again venture to those quintessential Puget Sound house parties.  And so begins the experiences of dorm room hook-ups. First things first: Dorm rooms do not necessarily create a desirable atmosphere for getting down. We have roommates that we share the space with, and neighbors all over the building.  And many pieces of furniture aren’t built to sustain horny students. But beds are. Beds...

Bigger can be worse

The majority of American culture and society tells us one thing all the time.  Bigger is better.  Bigger cars, TVs, houses, and the list goes on and on. And one that is on that list, even though people don’t talk about it, is the penis. The more you think about it, big penises are the dominant quality in a male sexual partner.   Men with larger members are instantly more attractive and desired. This notion is largely seen in porn, where men with large penises dominate their partner and emphasize...

Lack of mutuality in oral sex prevents equal satisfaction between partners

Recently, a friend approached me for tips about blowjobs.  She is a virgin, and was nervous about her boyfriend’s reaction towards the bj. What got me thinking was that she was spending so much time thinking about giving oral sex, but was this feeling reciprocated by her partner?  Is this situation normal for both sexual partners, or is this just the problem for one? Oral Sex has a distinct place in many people’s minds.  Many see it as foreplay, and only in the quintessential blowjob performed on a man. This...
