This week we’re talking about dormcest. It’s way less creepy than incest, but there is also less famous literature about it (“As I Lay Dying,” anyone?). When bunches of young adults looking to “find themselves” are crammed in the same living space for nine months, dormcest becomes inevitable. Context clues probably make this obvious, but “dormcest” is a made up term (not by me, by someone who is not me) that refers to the hooking up of individuals who inhabit the same university dormitory (in the biggest dorms, the term “floorcest” is more fitting). As budding young freshmen taking on campus for the first time, more than one of us most likely dreamed of meeting a special someone in our dorm or on our floor. It’s hard not to fantasize about the convenience and charm that would come with casually running into a cutie pie whilst wrapped in a towel (*gasp* so embarrassing and unintentional, *wink, wink, giggle, giggle*), or exchanging glances while studying in the den. But, what started as flirting and fun can sometimes transform into constant avoidance and hurt feelings. There is no reason not to get jiggy with fellow dorm dwellers, but there are a few tricks of the trade to help avoid turning dorms into walk-in skeleton closets.

Hopefully Thanksgiving break left us feeling thankful for at least a couple of things. A loving family, good friends and no unwanted pregnancies topped my list this year. Considering the fact that according to the Guttmacher Institute 51 percent of U.S. pregnancies are unplanned, it’s no joke to be thankful for being baby-free. While there are tons of methods out there to prevent pregnancy, there are some that are more suited to collegiate life than others.

While being home for the holidays might temporarily relieve some academic pressure, it can cause a buildup of sexual tension. Something about high caloric foods and having a little free time lowers inhibitions and brings back those urges that midterms suppressed for too long.

We are fast approaching that warm and fuzzy time of year that brings with it the urge to curl up with a big ol’ bowl of Chex Mix and a love bug. Something about sweaters and commercial holidays leads people to want to pair off and find some mistletoe to snog under, but with the smorgasbord of sweet thangs our campus has to offer, deciding who to hit up can be intimidating.

There is an expectation that all people who attend a university are hormone-crazed sex addicts roaming campus looking for their next lay, and this is kind of true. But, to be fair, college students also experience times of complete lack of desire. While college might usually have us feeling sexy and free, the amount stress and inconsistency in this stage of life can also be a total boner killer.

Chances are this Hallow’s Eve resulted in “hooking up” for bunches of Badgers. Whether that hooking up involved snogging a Scooby Doo, boning a skeleton or making a kitty say “meow” is up to interpretation.

Happy Cocktober, my spooky Badger pals! This Tuesday we’re exploring all things male orgasm-related so unwrap that caramel apple pop and suck on this:

In the classic 1989 film “When Harry Met Sally” the world watched Meg Ryan perform a theatrical fake orgasm in the middle of a diner. Five years later on Friends, Chandler exclaimed “multiple orgasms!” to end an argument about who has it better—men or women. Chandler was right to be excited about the fact that not only can women orgasm, but they can do it over and over! While we know this about female bodies, oftentimes orgasms get overlooked.

In honor of Love Your Body Day this Wednesday, October 14th, we’re talking about losing ourselves in loving ourselves. Recognizing the beauty of our bodacious bods puts us in the driver’s seat on the road to pleasure. As the amazing and lovely staff at Sex Out Loud has put it, “When we choose to love ourselves, in spite of the influences telling us we are not good enough, we protest the idea that a woman’s (or anyone’s) body must look a particular way for others. When we love our bodies, we’re in control of seeking out pleasure! Who’d a thought touchin’ your bod could be a protest?”

When it comes to getting between the sheets with a Badger babe, there are a few things we should know about the person we’re bangin’. We should know they want to fondle our goodies just as much as we want to fondle theirs, we should know what birth control or other safer sex methods we’ll be using and we should most definitely be aware of each other’s STI status.

As promised, Between the Sheets is back and ready to throw down part two of the talking bodies myth-busting extravaganza! Let’s get to it...

Do you have a vulva? How big is the clitoris exactly? What’s all the ruckus about “popping cherries?” Between the Sheets is calling bluff and getting clitorate.

Greetings Badgers!

Listen up sweet baby Badgers: it’s time to change the way we do consent. Whenv consent gets press, it’s usually because some cockroach forgot that they don’t own the world and all the bodies that inhabit it—I think it should be put into sexier terms.
