Some spots famous others more risky for sex on the hill

"Yeah, it was this corner of the library where all these dusty books were that nobody ever read." she replied.
At the University of Kansas, a beautiful, extensive campus could provide many romantic, intimate spots for students to get busy.
This excerpt from an episode of Friends posed an important question to college students all over the country; where are the best places on campus to sneak in some sex?
busty.
"On the second floor of Budig, right outside 120, there are little rooms just big enough for two people to fit in, which would do nicely, or on one of the checkerboards at Wescoe," Fritz Heffinger. Chicago sophomore, said.
"People are doing it in front of my book," a disgruntled Ross told Rachel. "At your school was there a place on campus where the students went to fool around?"
Students have had many clever ideas of places that would be delightful spots for private rendezvous, but few have actually experienced the places first hand.
"My dream is to do it on the fifty-yard line at the football stadium," Jenny Robb, Newton senior, said.
Some ideas were conventional.
"In the basement of Spahr Engineering Library because it's so quiet," Cassandra Eastridge, Barrington, Ill., senior, said.
Others were a little extreme,

"(People park) all over," he said. "The parking lots both north and south of the rugby fields at Clinton Parkway and Iowa Street, the gravel drive south of the small reservoir on west campus and the parking lot north of Potter's Lake have all been popular areas in the past."

But those who enjoy public displays of affection, beware — Bailey said those caught in the act could be charged with the crime of lewd and lascivious behavior.
"So if we come across a vehicle that is obviously out of place or
the windows are steamed up, we stop and check on the occupants of the car to ensure whatever is happening is consensual," Bailey said.

Students buy more porn than sex toys
Internet provides students who buy toys with anonymity

The Internet is filled with sites devoted to kinky toys.
Good Vibrations, www.goodvibes.com, offers vibrators and toys as well as erotic and how-to books and adult videos.
A Guide to Sex Toys www.sexuality.org/sextoys, discusses different toy types and advises how to clean and safely use them safely.
Many people like buying sex toys online because of the privacy the Internet provides, but Psachal Calloway, employee at Priscilla's, 1208 W. 23rd St., said she would not recommend buying online because you can't look at the products or ask questions about them.

Students may be a little timid about purchasing toys of a sexual nature, but local sexperts say it's all in good fun.
Richard Osburn, owner of the sex shop Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., said he thought most college students were purchasing pornography magazines and renting videos more than they were buying vibrators, handcuffs and lotions.
Bethany McCoy, Hutchinson freshman said, "Sex toys are not taboo, but they are also not conventional. I just don't think KU students are carrying around sex toys waiting to whip them out during sex with someone they don't know very well."
This doesn't necessarily mean college students aren't willing to try sex toys, many just don't know what to start with or when toys can help develop a relationship.
ship.
"If I was in a comfortable relationship with a freaky girl, I would definitely try sex toys," Skye Peterson, Omaha, Neb. freshman said.
"Gel types, basic vibrators are good to start off with. They are not so intimidating."

Cory Sievers, manager of Priscilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., suggests starting with a mini vibrator for those first experimenting with sex toys. Psachal Calloway, employee at Priscilla's, said she agreed.
"Gel types, basic vibrators are good to start off with. They are not so intimidating." Calloway said.
For curious couples out there who want to explore sex toys, both Priscilla's and Naughty But Nice offer kits for couples and many other interesting items, including candles, flavored lotions and oils. They also sell restraints, blindfolds, handcuffs, whips, and sexy lingerie and underwear, including thongs for men.
The most popular toy right now at Priscillas is called the Crystal Rabbit, a purple, gel, swirling vibrator that smells like grape and has been selling out.
Calloway said new items were rare, but Priscillas had a few new interesting toys.
"We have this new Vibes of Steel vibrator that looks like a sword and a Wild Ride Vibrating Race Car, but we mostly have the same stuff all the time," she said.
"Why not try it, they enhance your experience and a lot of toys work in a lot of different ways that can help with different issues. They're just fun," Sievers said.

Although college students may not be the top purchasers of sex toys in Lawrence, there is a lot to explore, even if it as innocent as

Male revue lets women see dancers take it off
By Kate Phillips
Karsan correspondent
Women have been strutting their stuff at Lawrence strip clubs for ages but haven't always been on the other side of the stage — having male strippers perform for them.
Despite sustaining several strip clubs featuring female dancers, Lawrence lacks a night club exclusively featuring male entertainers.
Mikel Henderson,general manager of Bada Bing! strip club, 913 N. Second St., said with a smaller population there wasn't much of a chance for a club featuring only male dancers.
"I think that women entertainers are more of a popularity for every day," he said.
Bada Bing! offers male revue nights the first Monday of every month. Boasting an "enormous turnout," Henderson said ladies' nights generated an excellent response.
About a year and a half ago, new management at the club saw a need for a male revue night in the area.
Henderson said with advertising and word of mouth, attendance at revue night was excellent from the beginning.
begining "A male revue night is good for a college town," he said. "It gives the students variety in what they can come see."
Other strip clubs in the area, such as the Outhouse, 1837 N.1500 Rd., Paradise Saloon, Route 3 between Lawrence and Tonganoxie, and the Flamingo Club, 501 N. Ninth St., do not offer nights with male dancers.
Tracy Cunningham, Overland Park sophomore, said she she thought this was an oversight.
"It's as if they assume females have less of a sex drive than males," she said. "I think that's a huge fallacy."
Even men are willing to share the clubs with the ladies.
Evan Shaw, Hays sophomore, said he would be willing to take it all off in the name of equal opportunity.
"Any job where I can make $500 a night is worth it," he said. "And I've got the body for it."
