With Brian Bratichak and Jessica Crowder
I know a lot of girls on my floor who are sexually active, but they've never been tested and they don't plan to; a few are good friends of mine and I want them to be safe. Any advice to these girls? Nina, Freshman
Brian: Tons of girls living together, all sexually active? Man, I miss dorm life. While people tend to have less sexual partners in high school, in college there are random people hooking up all over the place, making it much harder to know if someone is completely clean. So if you're sexually active I recommend getting an STD and an HIV test. The worst that happens, if you are in the clear, is that you have spent a few bucks to help keep the KU population safer. It also
helps to keep you safe if you know the person you're fooling around with. As much fun as it can be to hook up with a stranger (or two) on a drunken night, it can lead to a lifetime of regrets.
Jessica: If you're old enough to be having sex, you're old enough to prepare for the consequences of visiting the
big-girl doctor. The same goes for guys, only they don't have to worry about putting their feet in cold stirrups. Some of the procedures are somewhat invasive, but those few moments of discomfort far outweigh the alternatives. I recommend getting checked before any sexual encounter with a new person. I am an adamant advocate for seeing your gynecologist/men's dr. regularly. So why not take this opportunity to start now if you haven't already?The sooner you do it, the sooner you can rest assured that your private parts are in fact healthy and ready to help others' private parts feel mm mm gooooooood instead of itchy and burning.
My girlfriend has of late started to talk about marriage quite a bit. We are both seniors this year and she has started to talk about possibly trading vows as soon as next year. I am feeling really closed in and freaked out. What should I tell her? — Cale, Senior
Brian: Don't all upperclassmen know that life goes by waaaaay too fast? Last time you blinked, you were crossing the stage at your high school graduation, ready to make the best of your next four (or five or six) years of your life before you have to get a real job and be
an adult. Well, now that time has come and you're still not ready. A simple rule: If you want a relationship to work, the person who wants to take things slower should always win the battle; this includes sex, time commitments, family and marriage. Don't feel forced into getting married or you could be throwing away something very special.
Jessica: Cue the traditional wedding march. Tell her you think her boobs are actually getting smaller and that her best friend is looking really good lately. Then I'm sure she'll back off with the wedding talk, at least for a while. No, silly. Just be up front with the girl the next time she mentions it. You love her and although both of you are graduating soon you're just not ready for that great of a commitment especially since you'll both be dealing with the stresses of graduation and post-grad plans.
My friends were joking around the other day talking about Eiffel Towering this girl.I was too embarrassed to ask them what it was, so I was hoping you could shed some light for me.
Mark, Sophomore
Brian: Ah yes, the Eiffel Tower. Beloved by men in France for its beauty and by men in America for its sexual connotation. Here is a great synopsis from urbandictionary.com: "A threesome, with two guys and one girl, when one guy is hitting it from the back and the other guys is hitting it from the front. The guys then slap hands at the top resembling the Eiffel Tower." I bet you think better of the French now, don't you?
Jessica: Thanks, Brian. And you thought the French kiss was all we got out of the French version of Sex Ed. Au contraire! Oui Oui! Yeah... I don't know French.
