Personal Tidbits: Sex Advice for the Road

Personal Tidbits: Sex Advice for the Road

As I sit on my windowsill listening to the animated chatter from Parrish Beach echo throughout campus, I realize that this Swattie behavior signifies the beginning of the end. For most of you, it’s just the end of the semester. You’ll be back in the fall to endure another round of Swat roulette — the [...]

What I Learned About Sex From Cosmo

What I Learned About Sex From Cosmo

In last edition of The Phoenix, my lovely editors gave me the title of the “Campus’ Favorite Sex Columnist.” Though I am very flattered by the title, I have to admit, I can’t imagine myself being anyone’s sexual sage. This is not because I don’t believe in the advice that I share on a bi-weekly [...]

Practice Makes Permanent: Breaking Bad Sex Habits

Practice Makes Permanent: Breaking Bad Sex Habits

As Swatties, we are perpetually interested in improving ourselves. We may or may not be actively trying to do so, but we certainly talk about it until we’re blue in the balls. One easy thing to attack in our quest for self-improvement are bad habits. We all have some habit that our Moms and/or Pops [...]

Double Indulgence: Working Out Roommate Kinks

Double Indulgence: Working Out Roommate Kinks

The housing lottery is fast approaching. Finding a roommate can be a stressful process. We’re Swatties, after all, and we have a tendency to perceive most tasks, big or small, significant or insignificant, hard or soft, as stressful. It’s part of our charm. Now, I don’t mean to add anymore shit to your shit-storm, but [...]

SEPTA to Sex: Philly’s Sexiest Offerings

SEPTA to Sex: Philly’s Sexiest Offerings

2013 — a new year with new reasons to fuck. As the ball dropped (a month ago or so), I found thoughts of my graduation along with New Year’s resolutions mingling in my mind. The result was my mind translating my biggest Swat regrets into resolutions that could mend them. And what was on the [...]

(Sex) Columnist of the Order of the Phoenix

Miss Columnist of the Order of the Phoenix, I seem to be having a dreadful dilemma. After six loving years of marriage to my red-headed delight of wife, I find that I am utterly incapable of getting it up. I was very active in the early years of our marriage, but lately, my poor penis [...]

Confidential to a Friend

Confidential to a Friend

I was very upset when I received your letter this week, X. I had no idea that this was what you’ve been going through for the last two years. I apologize for not being a more attentive friend; I truly was clueless. But, now that you’ve ended this volatile relationship, I want to assure you [...]

Suggestions for Singles

Suggestions for Singles

One thing I love about being back on campus, besides the various forms of free contraceptives, is getting some critiques of my column that extend beyond obscure bible passages condemning it. I’ve gotten some good reviews, and I’ve gotten some bad ones. As a true self-deprecatory, masochistic Swattie, I disregarded all the good feedback on [...]
