religious teens were having anal sex because it allowed the girl to remain a virgin.

When I was in college in the late eighties we called them "Roman Virgins"

Yup. We would talk about girls who "gave up it up Catholic Style".

I think "kink" has more to do with the frame of mind of the do-er than of the act its self.

I would agree with this like, a billion.

I am always amazed at how little I talked about the details of sex with people in college. Yeah, I talked about who was doing it with whom, but the only time details were ever mentioned was when someone had a copy of "Joy of Sex" and said, "I'm so boring!"

I never heard this, and I went to a Catholic College in 1991! Everyone seemed to have forgotten the "stay a virgin until married" part at that time, though.

My friends and I did snicker over the various "Oh, it didn't count, we didn't do it in a bed" justifications we'd hear girls use. Mostly, I was just disgusted every Saturday morning hearing the party-goes going around to their friends saying, "Do you know who I shacked up with last night? The guy I woke up next to isn't the one I was expecting."

edit: AIDS wasn't known in my small town then, the big things to avoid were generic VD and pregnancy. One of my roommates went through high drama every month, because she thought birth control was immoral, but sleeping with strangers was cool.

Not to interrupt the kink talk (heavens forfend!), but today was a very buffista Teri Gross. Reaper and Tegan and Sara.

Dear Lesbians, now you CAN have pink pistols!

My favorite at the Catholic university I attended was the girl who explained to me freshman year how homosexuality was wrong because "The Church" said so, but seemed to have no problem being on the Pill or sleeping around.

Feel free to pass the pictures on to Mr. Jane.

I knew someone who thought both birth control and premarital sex were wrong, but she ended up getting pregnant out of wedlock. Apparently giving in to the passion of the moment is less of a sin than planning ahead of time for sex.

Girls in bikinis on the covers of magazines make the locals of Utah uptight and anxious.

I don't think it's kinky unless they're also turned on. An uptight and anxious kink would just suck. Which, I suppose, makes Utah one of the kinkiest places in the nation.

We talked about sex a decent amount in university. I just sent off a friend to university, and my care package to her was two vibrators and a sex book. Well, so far. She also got restraints that attach to a door and a heart-shaped paddle from other well-wishers.

That would be more sharing than I could have dealt with when I was in school, but her entire floor in residence has now oohed and aahed and read.
