First of the bible teaches not to use any type of birth control and teenagers should not be having sex at all… have sex only when ur married and there should be no protection what so evr involved… these condom companies should go out of business… they are making money off the evils of the world… and in my eyes they are promoting sin… how dare u all… sinners

First I want to point out that vaseline should NEVER be used as lube with condoms.
It can weaken the latex and make the condom much more likely to break.

In response to Leslie, for some people this may be new information. Additionally, it provides some students’ opinions and experiences about the subject. Also, I don’t understand what your idea of “low brow” is. I found the article tasteful, informative and mature, and in my book, I would hope that “such a high ranked school” would encourage such intelligent discourse about sexual topics. Besides, how is lube or gay sex more high brow than condoms?

I think that you have missed the point of the column completely, Leslie. It’s to present the information to people who are not taking the time to search wiki about these topics and start a dialogue about things that ARE still taboo. These topics are not just out in an open social forum as you seem to suggest. If you think it’s disgusting and none of the information is new to you, then spend your time reading a different column.

And of course vaseline is a viable lube! Duh!

This is disgusting. A lamb has been slaughtered so that teenagers can go at it like wild rabbits. Between the pubic hair and foot sex articles I don’t know why this section is still a part of the newspaper. It is embarrassing as a high ranked school to have such a tasteless, low-brow column. Also, is any of this information new to anyone? Just do a wiki search. And most of this information is already known. Why not do subjects that people actually have questions about. Like how do gays actually have sex? Can vaseline be a viable lube?
