Lubricating the discourse

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...

Study of sexuality needed for sexuality

The worst part of declaring that my post-graduate future (which hangs ever so delicately in self-conscious limbo), which will revolve around human sexuality, is telling my parents. They keep asking how I will make money, tip-toeing to avoid the large elephant in the (very small) room—that their first born is switching from pre-healthcare to TRIPLE-X SEX! I fully stand by my decision to actively participate in society’s compound knowledge of human sexuality. While perceptions of those who study sexuality can range from perversion to a lack of seriousness, I contend...

The case for space

If you’ve seen How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days (RIP so many brain cells), you may remember Kate Hudson’s character buying a “relationship fern” in an attempt to drive a man to dump her. Though that movie sucks, and  it revolves almost entirely around gender stereotypes, the writers may have been onto something. Relationships, platonic or romantic, are sort of like living organisms. You have to tend to and maintain them. Some are short-lived connections with the life span of a goldfish, and some last to 50th anniversaries....

Don’t be sorry for partying

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...

Boys and girls, once the same

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...

A chemistry lesson

Someone of the sex you fancy walks into the room and suddenly you’re acutely aware of their very presence. Your senses sharpen, like a cheetah lusting after a distant zebra’s plump rump. Why do you have the sudden urge to whisper in that person’s ear, “Take me?” This immediate, inexplicable attraction to someone, even while knowing them little or not at all, is chemistry—like a moth to a flame. Think for a second, if you will, of a person that you’ve seen that gives you butterflies, or maybe someone that...

How to achieve ‘moregasm’

Ah, orgasm. Even though it’s (usually) pretty obvious when you’re having one, the form, function and mechanics of the whole O-rdeal are pretty complex. This complexity is hard to study empirically so there are a lot of gaps in our knowledge of orgasm. The biggest factor, too, is the wide variation in any one person’s experience of orgasm, let alone the variation from person to person. It pains me to generalize such a subject, but there are several things that are worth thinking about when it comes to achieving orgasm....

Communication is key when experimenting

Bondage-Discipline—Domination-Submission—Sadism-Masochism. Some pretty strong words in there for what comprises the meaning behind the acronym BDSM. Understandably, it can make one want to immediately run in the other direction. But please, take off your coat (or… pants) and stay a while. I get it, I had the same reflex whenever I head about it. Most people think pain and cruelty; I used to associate it with humiliation and disrespect. Then I found out more. Beyond what the on-the-surface scary components of the BDSM label suggest, Wikipedia’s ballin’ definition is: “an...
