Alrighty folks, it’s about time we talk about masturbation. I’ve been thinking about sex a lot recently (thank you, women’s, gender and sexuality studies and educational studies for allowing me to do both my capstones on sex education). But before we can really talk about sex – and I mean really talk about sex –…
By Delanee Hawkins Inspired by last week’s cautionary tale about combining food with sex, this week’s edition will feature two riskier kinks/sexual practices, cock-and-ball torture and erotic asphyxiation, with tips on how to minimize these risks. Whether you’re a connoisseur of erotic asphyxiation or don’t consider yourself an inch past vanilla, this week’s column is…
I was offered this column as a joke. In the throes of a typical sexually-charged conversation with friends in high places on TMW (the News section), the die was cast: “you should write a sex advice column.” Wiping the eager foam from my mouth, I took full nepotistic advantage of my best friends’ editorial positions…
Well, as promised, here is the follow up to my last column, “How to Have Good Sex.” This week, my mission is to tackle ethical sex, especially as part of the bigger concept of safe sex. Now, before we get down to the nuts and balls (hehehe), I’d like to offer a quick refresher on…

The speed at which I devoured it was due to how I loved the vision of the future proposed by the show, where conflict existed but both situationally sensitive justice and respect…
“I believe that happiness is a process.” During the Senior Farewell dinner for the Bonner Community Scholar Program, April Bethea, ’14, began a reflection on her four years here at Macalester with this line. As the year draws to a close, more and more of these kinds of farewells crop up as people submit their…
We all have our guilty pleasures. There are reality TV aficionados, who know the names of every Real Housewife and have watched the entire spread of the Discovery Channel’s options. There are Facebook gamers, who always seem to be in the middle of waiting for a new life in Candy Crush or other King games….
On October 5th, starting from a pavilion in Father Hennepin Bluffs Park, SlutWalk MN will return to Minneapolis. If it is anything like the SlutWalk I went to as a first year, there will be hundreds of protesters, mostly women, but people of all genders can be found in the crowd, gathered to march the 1.8 mile walking trail around the West River in protest of rape culture and sexual assault.
It might say a lot about my activities on campus when I say that I really know my icebreakers. I have participated in enough trainings and encountered enough leadership-building exercises to have a good sense of what does and doesn’t work. One that I have encountered often and that I consistently despise is the activity…
