It’s safe to say that Cosmopolitan is not my go-to for sex advice (the magazine, not the cocktail, although both result in regret when over-consumed). Ever since the infamous “#DonutGate” of 2003, Cosmo and its ridiculous, sometimes dangerous, sex tips have been the butt of many jokes, my personal favorite

Sex Column: Becoming Positive About Sex Positivity
CW: Mention of sexual trauma, slut-shaming I’m going to let you in on a little secret: I don’t masturbate. Now, as a self-proclaimed progressive woman living in the 21st century (and in a single room), I realize how odd that may seem to those who rub one out on the
Politics of Pleasure: O.school Workshop Teaches Sex & Intersectionality
“What is pleasure to you? What would it mean to use your pleasure to resist all the ways that society tries to further marginalize you, further oppress you, the ways that other people try to cause you harm? What keeps you from your pleasure?” That’s what Latishia James, one
At CMC’s Sex Week, A Focus on Empathy and Pleasure
The Claremont McKenna College Advocates for Survivors of Sexual Assault and Violence hosted the 5Cs first ever Sex Week from Oct. 23 to 27.

Sex Column: At Least I’m Probably Not Pregnant?
Content warning: contains graphic sexual content. There I was, lying on my bed, rubbing my knee, and faking another orgasm, waiting for him to complete his 6-minute post-coital ritual of masturbating and finishing on my boobs. He did this every time we had sex. For some reason, he “just couldn’t”
Ordinary is No Less Extraordinary
The Student Life’s Sex Columnist wasn’t something I ever imagined I’d put on my resume. When I applied for a position this semester, I thought I’d ask to write a column about “campus culture,” something covering the antics of those living in Claremont. However, when I showed up to my interview with
A Retrospective on My Tinder Escapades
I have been on Tinder for pretty much my entire college career. I started in 2014, so I’ve got just about two years’ worth of Tinder-ing under my belt. I’ve probably met up with around 12 or 13 folks—mostly men—in that time, so I would say that I have a
IUDs—IRL
As some of you may be aware, Donald Trump has been elected the next President of the United States. While this means a number of things, one major change that will likely come throughout the next four years is a more conservative take on reproductive rights (or lack thereof). Trump
Something New, Something Borrowed
The first time I had sex, it was with a senior CMC football player the first semester of my first year. I’m sure it’s not as funny to you all, given my pseudonym and that you don’t know me, but trust me–this was hilarious. He was the last character anyone would
Toy Story: Finding Your Very Own Buzz Lightyear
Sometimes I forget that people are embarrassed by sex toys. Personally, I've been shoving things up my hoo-ha for around a decade, so I am very familiar with my body and my pleasure. I remember being in middle school and wrapping sharpies with plastic wrap to try and fashion my
