Students will always have sex, so from a public health standpoint we wanted to provide the necessary resources to encourage safe sex.
When you say ‘ATM’ to a porn star, she doesn’t think of a cash dispenser. Aurora Snow explains the industry’s down-low lingo. And what’s this about piña colada mix?
Next time you stop by the set of a porno film, you might be pleasantly surprised to hear that we’re discussing very innocent things—girls, baked goods, maybe something about an ATM.
But like every other industry, porn has its own secret lingo, and we’ve been known to put a filthy spin on some very normal words. Back in the day, lay people weren’t in the loop, but lately they’ve been catching on. (I don’t mean actors who lay people, I mean civilians.) Still, some of the definitions below may still surprise you, or maybe gross you out.
Last year a sincere male student asked aloud, ‘What is my risk for cervical cancer?’
Granville practices his “pelvic massage” technique, and soon he becomes an expert. In the process, however, he develops carpal tunnel from all the manual labor and seeks a new and improved way to achieve “hysterical paroxysm.” And thus the vibrator is born.
The forces behind the censoring of Craigslist clearly know little of the real world. Now, they’re after Backpage. To assume that removing the Adult Services ads sections of our newspapers would magically eliminate the abuse of anyone is absurd. The fact is that there are people who post on Adult Services that are of legal age and independent. I should know—I am one of those women.
That’s Maria, a 48-year-old hairdresser and artist who supplements her income selling sexual services to clients that she meets online. She’s quoted in our story about the Village Voice’s Backpage.com, written by a former sex worker.
Now most of you don’t play basketball, so what does this have to do with you, assuming you’re not a Knicks fan enjoying your team win instead of lose? Well most of you are sexually active, and if you’re not, you probably would like to be. But if your sex life isn’t all that hot, then there is a lot to learn from the basketball court that’s applicable to your bedroom, living room, or kitchen floor!
Good morning! Dr. Ruth wrote about what basketball and Jeremy Lin can teach us about sex! Oh, the Linsanity!
Jessica Bennett, soon to be an Executive Editor at Tumblr, has a new column up over on The Daily Beast titled, Why Men Are Settling For Mrs. Good Enough, &, if i don’t say so myself, what an absolute money quote provided by that guy, Tom Fant (aka, me), right? Right.
Heads up: this is kind of a bummer.
We live in a society where there’s this idea that you’re either in a long-term relationship or taking steps to get there. But if you read diaries, what you find is, that’s not what a lot of people are doing.
I’m a Christian, but this is awesome.
Nearly twice as many people have turned down offers of sex because the temperature was too high than have turned down offers of sex because the temperature was too low.
Presenting Some Of Our Favorite ‘Sex’ Covers To Compliment Our Current Sex Addiction Issue
Love these.
Sexual Obstructionism on Campus, 1967-Style!
Coeds at the University of Illinois are forbidden to wear long trench coats when necking with dates. Reason: one legendary lass was once caught necking wearing her trench coat and nothing else…Keep reading here
Newsweek May 8, 1967
Another gem:
Illinois also has a “three foot rule”: this requires couples to keep three of their collective four feet on the floor at all times in dorm room lounges—a restriction which, says a former student editor, “does not make for better morals, only more convoluted romantic gymnastics.”
Cont.:
The important thing to know is that these numbers are medians—meaning that half of people have had fewer partners and half of people have had more partners. You’re in good company on either side of the median.
Gotta love a good vintage sex gallery.
