Lawrence's sex spark already heating up
It's started already, hasn't it? The hooking up, breaking up, making up and getting it on that, eventually, become a part of many KU students' lives. The muggy Lawrence air practically oozes sex as thousands of horny, virile men and women pour into town.

You can almost see and feel the hot spark of newly fueled romances everywhere you look — the lingering embrace of two "friendly" acquaintances meeting again after a long, hot summer, the connection between a shadowy couple discussing life in the early morning hours on a moonlit porch and the glances shared between strangers meeting for the first time in math class. It's hard, if not impossible, to resist getting swept up in the crazy, lustful tide of love, sex, heartache and horniness.
But hey, that's a big part of what college is for.
Even though the cruel folks at the Department of Student Housing furnish almost all residence and scholarship hall rooms with rickety, squeaky twin beds, studying your sexuality — and even taking it for a spin when you want to — is almost as important as studying for your
degree.
But it is kind of tough to get information about how to have real and gratifying sex, as opposed to porn-star, movie-star or HBO late-night sex.
Sex can be much more than just the old in and out, and in fact there are worlds of kisses and caresses, games and getting-it-on gear, turn-ons and fetishes out there to explore.
My name is Meghan, and as the University of Kansas' resident sex columnist, I want to help all of you — from the youngest freshman to the oldest graduate student or faculty member — to have great sex and to feel less anxious about navigating the sometimes confusing world of sexuality. I'm not a doctor, or even a sex therapist, but a journalist who is passionate about spreading the word that, when done with necessary precautions, sex is not bad, immoral or dangerous. In any case, when I talk about sex, I'm talking about all kinds of sexual experiences, from kissing to getting freaky with your lover, condoms, a sex toy and a bottle of lube.
So, you sexify men and women of KU, get ready for another semester of columns that will hopefully push your buttons, expand your mind and help you use these experimental years in the most sexually satisfying and graffifying ways.
In the meantime, be safe, be real and don't fight when Lawrence's sexual spark lights a fire in your loins.

N.Y. shock jocks remain off air after sex broadcast
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — In the almost-anything-goes world of radio, home to Howard Stern and Don Imus, a pair of New York shock jocks discovered what goes too far: sex inside St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Opie and Anthony, co-hosts of WNEW-FM's popular afternoon drive-time program, remained off the air for a second day Tuesday
while a 350,000-member Roman Catholic group pushed for their station to get its license revoked. The pair allegedly broadcast a live, eye-witness account of a couple having sex in the landmark Manhattan church.
"Nothing would make us happier than for WNEW's license to be revoked," said William Donohue, head of the Catholic League, which has also demanded a hefty fine for WNEW's parent company. The station is one of 180 owned
nationwide by Infinity Broadcasting.
FCC Commissioner Michael Copps said he had received hundreds of complaints via outraged phone calls and e-mails.
The incident occurred last Thursday, when a Virginia couple was arrested after allegedly having sex in a vestibule just a few feet from worshippers in the church. The encounter was described as it happened during the "Opie and Anthony" show.
If they prove true, he said the commission should consider the strongest enforcement action possible against the station, including revocation.
Brian Florence, 37, of Quantico, Va., and Loretta Lynn Harper, 35, of Alexandria, Va., were arrested on charges of public lewdness. Show producer Paul Mercurio, 42, who called via cell phone and described their actions, was charged with acting in concert.
