SEX ON THURSDAY | Sex Is Overrated

By |

Growing up gay in a small Upstate New York town was not easy, so I stayed closeted until college. Even after coming out, I was so scared of having sex to the point that I didn’t lose my virginity until this past January. But right after ripping off that bandaid, I became a real horn dog.

SEX ON THURSDAY | It Is Not Only a Frat Issue

By |

As a man I know I also hold a privileged position in this situation, while I might walk terrified at night, my own silhouette could generate those feelings on someone else. I still can’t shake off that feeling of deep anxiety and near panic if I notice a guy walking at a similar pace to mine in the same direction a couple feet away.

SEX ON THURSDAY | What a Girl Wants

By |

No, I’m not talking about the 2003 Amanda Bynes romcom. That is a masterpiece, though. Women, especially twenty-something-year-olds, are complex creatures. We contain multitudes, and each of us has our likes, dislikes and preferences — this extends not only to everyday life but also to our relationships and sex lives. Everyone has something that makes them tick.

SEX ON THURSDAY | Reflecting on My Slut Era

By |

Even as I try to avoid the dreaded senior spring waves of self-reflection, no period of my college life has stood out to me more than my self-proclaimed slut era. The online discourse surrounding “slut eras” highlights their intentionality: the choice to lean into an aura of sluttiness and an influx of casual sex. My own slut era began, as many do, after a breakup. Coming back from winter break and the end of my high-school-turned-long-distance relationship, my exploration of the borders of singleness would define my sophomore spring semester. I embraced my first foray into fun, meaningless sex head-on.
