Bitch moan &
With Brian Bratichak and Jessica Crowder
Why is that my boyfriend always looks hottest when we are fighting?
- Melinda, Junior
- Melinda, Junior
is very normal, actually. When we're ticked off, our arousal levels sky rocket and in the presence of attractive visual stimuli, we end up wanting to jump our significant others. Logic tells us to be angry, but our animal instinct tells us to pounce. I say multi-task: blow off some steam AND let out that animal.
Jessica: Ahhhh! Don't you hate it when you're fuming because of something he did or didn't do, yet you're fixated on how freaking foxy he looks with his five o'clock shadow and shaggy hair? This
Brian: You may be surprised to learn this, but men are actually genetically engineered so that when our testosterone levels rise, we become more attractive. This would also explain why women will find men who are working out or are playing a sport more attractive than if he were just in his normal clothes. Another reason you might find us hotter is because we actually have the power to make ourselves hotter when we know we have done something wrong. It's just a huge self-defense mechanism. We know that you are madder than hell at us, but if we make ourselves hotter, then you won't be able to resist our good looks.
My boyfriend and I recently broke up,but we share most of the same friends so we see each other very often. It's uncomfortable seeing him so much. Should I try to find new friends?
- Katy, Sophomore
Jessica: For future reference, it's always wise to have separate groups of friends, along with some mutual ones so you can hang out with your shared friends together or your own friend separately. I recommend forging some new friendships to avoid the consistently awkward rendezvous with your ex. It's really just a matter of moving beyond the old relationship and the people associated with
it so that you can eventually establish a new network of friends.
Brian: This seems to be one of the biggest issues I've heard concerning friends dating, I see two different paths you can take. First, try and rekindle some of those old friendships you have let go astray. The other way you could go would be to keep the same friends
you currently have, but try and hang out with only your closest girls. Get together with three other friends and go to the movies. When you are trapped with hanging out with Mr. X, just keep your distance from him so that you don't have to worry about what he's doing. Stay on the other side of the room, talk in a different group or go for a food run with all of your chronically high buddies. Give the breakup a little time and maybe you and he can just have general conversation. If that doesn't seem possible, tell everyone a rumor about how much trash he talked on all of them behind their backs when you were dating. That should help get him out of your life involving your friends.
What are some sure-fire ways to tell if a girl has had an orgasm? Chuck, Freshman
Jessica: I'm going to break the female honor code here and let you men in on the secrets of our mystifying orgasms. Though there really aren't any sure-fire ways other than honest, open communication, there are some physical cues you can look for: if she's fair-skinned, her chest and cheeks may flush noticeably; she may break out in a sudden sweat all over her body; her breathing may quicken, you might hear noises you thought only elephants could make; and lastly, you can usually feel her muscles contract when she climaxes. These should help tip you off.
Brian: From what I've learned, there seems to be no definitive way to tell if a girl has orgasmed. While it's very simple to tell when a guy is reaching his peak, each and every woman has different signs or ways of telling. The easiest way to tell if a girl came is to build up a strong trust between each other. That way when she tells you that you did your job, you will believe her. And don't think you can tell just by how much noise she makes. Just remember how "real" Meg Ryan's impression was in When Harry Met Sally. I have a feeling that is the best orgasm Billy Crystal ever gave to a woman.
How we met
Friends: Shanna & Dara
It all began at work. Dara Haynes, Topeka junior, was working at Googles of Fun, 4931 W. Sixth St., a Chuck E. Cheese-like edu-tainment place. Shanna Todd, Pretty Prairie senior, was the new girl. Dara says that Shanna was talkative and outgoing, and the two started up a conversation. Then Shanna invited her to a birthday party. They had a great time and so they started hanging out on a regular basis. Neither of them had ever been a fan of flying solo; they say it's great going out together because they act as one another's wingman. Now they've been friends for roughly a year and a half and you'll hardly ever see one without the other.

4. "What's that smell?"
3. "Oops!"
