The Happy Trail

Well, hello there. Fancy seeing you here. Welcome to a brand spankin’ new year of The Happy Trail—your friendly neighborhood sex section (sextion?). My fellow writers and I are so excited by the honor of bringing you another year of information, advice and horrible puns. A few rules for our beautiful new relationship—first off, we are not experts. We are students just like you who want to promote healthy conversation among our fellow lovers and learners. If you need medical or psychological advice please find an expert—we are trained only...

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...

Hello freshmen! Yes, you. I’m talking to you. I know that these first few weeks have been so exciting for you! You’re in a new place. You’re learning new things. You’re meeting new people. You’re a part of a college community for the first time in your lives! And people are having sex. Now that’s not to say that people weren’t getting it on in high school. Trust me, they were. But this is new, ya know? You’re away from your parents. You have your own private living space (prying...

You know that moment when you’re with a partner, when you’re just about to hit the big “O” but something interrupts? Maybe your cell phone rings. Maybe your roommate walks in. Maybe the fire alarm goes off. Hell, maybe your partner can’t quite get you to the edge. The point is, when you’re trying to reach orgasm, and you don’t, it leaves you sexually frustrated and irritated. I mean, orgasms are the holy grail of sex, right? Orgasms can strengthen a sexual relationship and bring two people closer together, right?...

The back door is a frontier some are frequent visitors of, while many others remain scared to even approach the porch. For all the nasty porn videos that zoom in on a girl’s face in agony, the rumors that poop gets everywhere (it doesn’t; poop is in the colon further up) and all the conceptions that it is going to hurt no matter what, there needs to be some real, honest, open information out there. Anal play may not be your cup of tea, but don’t write off a tea...

We’re no state school, but here at the Puge I would say we study hard but also make time to get our party on. There are many different parties that take place on weekends that can be really great to dance off some steam, mack on some hottie or even find someone to take home with you. But this can be complicated. Drunkenness can blur the lines of good and bad decisions. Plus, the pressure of doing what one perceives one “should” be doing to live college life to the...

Penis… Penis...  PENIS!!! All you fellow fans of The Penis Game out there will pick up what I’m throwing down when I say that penises can be pretty funny. We draw them in foggy windows, find them scratched into desks and even make snowballs to complement the super phallic obelisk in the quad. It’s funny (as in peculiar) that we have this response to dicks yet you rarely see blooming vulvas scrawled on a friend’s notebook. Why don’t we hear people screaming “vagina” to each other? Our free association to...

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...
