 This week, our intern Maddie Phillips, a senior at SUNY Oswego, breaks out her stone tablet to lay down the ten commandments of college sex: I. Thou shalt play the freshman field. Get to know what's out there before settling down! II. Thou shalt not choose your lover after your 12th keg stand. III. Thou shalt not "sexile" your roommate without previous notification. IV. Thou shalt not hook up "quietly" while a roommate is sleeping. V. Thou shalt not commit to videotaped sex unless confident that you will have control over its viewing. In other words, though shalt not commit to videotaped sex before graduation. VI. Thou shalt hook up in the female partner's dorm room. Let the male take the walk of shame, which automatically makes it the walk of fame. VII. Thou shalt not hook up with a roommate's ex. VIII. Thou shalt tie up loose ends. Angry exes are hard to avoid on a small campus. IX. Thou shalt not take up more than 45 percent of your significant other's Facebook wall. And thou shalt not take up more than 5 percent of your booty call's Facebook wall. X. Thou shalt experiment! And not just L.U.G.s -- that's so nineties. Boys should kiss boys, and we should all experiment with toys, locations, costumes, menage a huit... come on, it's college! There's no better time to try something offbeat (especially now when it'll be seen as kinky rather than fetishistic). 5 CommentsLeave a comment |

with condoms
Yeah, seriously. And preferably an HPV vaccine (both guys and girls). Remember, the HPV vaccine doesn't prevent all strains of HPV, and it takes six months to be effective. Condoms are great, but they don't prevent all kinds of STDs, and there's always a risk, no matter what, if you're having sex.
Why are you encouraging people to experiment without offering safety tips? Experimentation is great - when you're ready, comfortable, with people you trust, and using - you got it - condoms.
Do we really want to be pressuring more people into putting themselves into sexual situations before they're ready? Since when is freshman year the definite benchmark for everyone to start experimenting?
What's gross about this is that it's written by a supposedly college educated individual. Just goes to show that means dick anymore when constructing a well-written, intelligent article. Way to go, everyone.
yeah, seriously, condoms were my number one rule for campus hook-ups.
rule number two was getting checked for std's at least every three months at the campus clinic because it didn't cost much and i felt better about playing the field knowing i wasn't spreading anything around.
rule number three is the best way to get rid of a guy the next morning is to get up early, call my mom and ask her if she wants to go get coffee. after arrival of said mother, wake up overnight guest, say that they're getting a ride back to their car courtesy of my mother. one of the perks of going to a local college and having an awesome mom - giving the guy the ultimate ride of shame.
It's college folks...experiment...let your hair down...but do use common horse sense...protect thyself...
If you're familiar with this site then you know "safer sex" is our middle name. The phrase "...and use condoms and discuss STDs" is kind of our equivalent of adding "...in bed" to the end of a fortune cookie -- we consider it a given in every instance. We usually mention it, but in this case didn't amend the list because it was just supposed to be addressing issues specific to campus, and we don't think college students have a monopoly on STDs or unintended pregnancies. But yes, you're right, at least one commandment should address the issue. Let's consider "thou shalt practice safer sex: use barrier protection, use a back up birth control method, get tested regularly, discuss such tests and sexually history with partners honestly, and make sexual decisions soberly (okay, at most buzzed, but NEVER blitzed)" commandment XI.
