2/1/08 - After a long, sexually uneventful winter break, we return to our faithful reader(s) full of pent up stories, frustrations and musings to entertain and titillate. Yes, this is different from our usual format, but this winter break brought up a number of questions that we, your dutiful sex columnists, are obligated to answer with our combined 10 years of sexual experience. Grab a towel and enjoy.
Secret sex
Question: Everyone has them, but no one wants to talk about them - their secret sex partners from home. After spending a semester in Rhode Island, I returned home to New Hampshire for a month-long winter break.
However, being home brings up a whole new slew of problems, especially because I'm in a relationship with a wonderful guy at URI. My secret sex partner was expecting a bit more than a hug after being reunited and this expectation threw a figurative wrench in the midst of my relationship. What's a girl to do? Just say no? What happens if I return home, newly single in the summer? Who's going to be my new booty call at home if I turned down my only other option?
DS: Contrary to popular belief, sex is not a numbers game. I'm not speaking in terms of how many total conquests, but rather the number of battles you've got going on at once.
One man can be a challenge on his own. How do you expect to handle two for an entire semester? You need to think in terms of this moment, right now. If you are in a relationship, you shouldn't have been fooling around in the first place, but if you want to do right, keep it only about the guy here on campus.
He is here, and he is now. Who knows what the end of the semester might bring? Maybe you'll be single, maybe this guy is the "one". Either way, I guarantee things will work out if you live in the here-an- now as opposed to the there and then.
Valentine's Day
Question: Valentine's Day is already around the corner. I just dropped a load of cash on my boyfriend for Christmas and now I have to come up with something for this? In terms of shopping on a college budget, would it be OK if I just did something kinky as opposed to romantic? What do guys expect from this holiday, if anything?
