On Monday, Sept. 30, Dr. Debby Herbenick came to campus to discuss her research on sexual choking. Herbenick is an author, researcher, and professor of Human Sexuality and Sexual Health at Indiana University. The event was organized by the Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention Center (RSVP) for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Herbenick began her investigation on sexual choking four years ago when she noticed her students’ increased interest in learning about the topic. She noted that choking was not a prevalent kink 10 years ago, but its popularity has skyrocketed in the past decade. 

A couple of weeks ago, Student Life sent out a form for students to anonymously ask their sexual and reproductive health questions to a gynecologist. For this year’s Sex Issue, I wanted to give people a place to ask these questions, so I called my mom, obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Jody Steinauer.

Peer Health Educators held a conversation on safe sex for undergraduate students during their Sex in the Dark event in Ursa’s Fireside Sept. 26.

So you have a roommate. And Valentine’s Day is juuuuuust around the corner. And you really want to bring that really special someone back and have some PG-13+ fun. Or worse yet, your roommate wants to bring her current squeeze by. Either way, it’s time to tackle the most awkward, excruciating, potentially obnoxious part of dorm life: the sexile.
