eeing a large part of most seniors' sexual history come back to campus this weekend for the alumni reunions made me a bit nostalgic, so I recently looked back at my first article to see what was going through my mind when I accepted this sketchy, sketchy job.

Whether it's the spring season or the fact that you're hitting the real world soon, there seem to be a lot more stories that begin with "I'll just go out for a bit" and end the next morning with "Who are you?"

Dear Jess,
(04/13/06 5:00am)
A while ago I was out with some guy friends and the conversation turned to Spring Break and the new relationship that one of them had just entered. The inevitable question came up: "So what's going to happen on break?" The guy in question wasn't sure.

We've all heard the saying, "It's not how big it is, it's what you do with it," or my personal favorite, "It's not the size of the boat; it's the motion of the ocean." This is one of those fears that all guys seem to grow up with: "Am I normal? How much bigger or smaller am I than everyone else?"

We all know that Hopkins is a, um, special place. For that reason we often need redefine everyday language to fit our needs. In rare cases, our social scene is odd enough we create new terms that explain situations that other schools and responsible adults don't have to deal with. Here is a summary of some of the neologisms our creative student body has come up with.

Apparently my column last week wasn't very popular among my female readership. I got called out by some girls for even touching the subject of faking orgasms while guys told me that they appreciated the column (their girlfriends, of course, never faked one).

I have to say, it's really awkward when my friend's boyfriend suggests questions for this column. When out one night, he pulled me aside to ask, "Well [sips beer], I think she's faking it with me [bigger sips of beer]. Not always, but a few nights ago she went on for like 15 seconds -- that's completely not possible, right?"

Last week we talked about condoms and making sex safer. There are times, though, when no condom can protect you. For instance, sometimes, life just surprises you and no matter how hard you try, you end up breaking your arm due to anal sex.

Word has finally gotten back to me that the Health and Wellness Center is sick of my making fun of their condoms. While I believe it's perfectly legit to make fun of a condom brand that friends have nicknamed "the lead boot," I do feel bad that in recent years I haven't given good alternatives.

My best of my friends in high school were annoyingly perfect. I learned that there are very few things worse than being the friend who always gets the wingman at a bar no matter what you do.

This was a long, very interesting weekend. Like all "interesting weekends" it involved a bottle of red wine, some well intentioned friends, a bit of juicy gossip, a guy and myself all coming together at a loud, crowded party. What I learned from this classic college recipe for disaster is that timing is everything. When and how you break news, for better or worse, makes all the difference.

You know she's not going to be happy with the answer if someone has to ask, "I'm still a virgin, right?" This is the situation when a girl said yes to sex, then had second thoughts a few minutes in and ended the action because she wanted her first time to be more meaningful than the drunken night it currently was.

Recently ,when I tried to explain to a friend about a "party" I was going to, the only way I could think of describing it was as something close to a Tupperware party for sex toys. A lot of my friends who were also going were excited not because they were necessarily going to see some new ways to spice up their sex lives, but because they thought they were going to be getting some instruction in the sexual art that had thus far been all trial and error: the blow job.

I get some pretty random e- mails. Often, some of the funnier ones are completely unpublishable (for some reason there seems little reason to discuss ass-to-mouth in this column), and some of the more useful e-mails become the basis for columns (along with the random personal things people reveal in crowded bars).

As a rule I don't normally "friend" people on Facebook. It used to be that it just didn't occur to me why I didn't but now I have a concrete reason.

It's amazing the things we all take for granted sometimes. Freshman year a friend and I were at another friend's house watching some TV. A Sex and the City episode came on that had to do with women and shaving -- and not the kind of grooming that can be seen by the general public. Her comment was, "I've never known someone who's shaved that." Our friend who was over with us jokingly introduced herself.

It was a sentence I wasn't used to hearing: "That was fun but you'd need a strap-on to do anything else for me tonight." That comment was how a recent kiss of mine ended when I was out at a party. No, he was not my date, and, yes, the male in question is gay. I'm not sure how the kiss began, but the weird thing is that the entire scene wasn't all that odd to me.

At the annual sorority drinking game "Never Have I Ever," I always wait for the same scene to play out: One sister says, "Never have I ever given road head." The usual suspects drink along with the tentative newbies. Then we don't have to wait long for the inevitable follow-up comment from some concerned sister, "What are you thinking? It's dangerous!"

Sometimes the law is clean cut (you need at least some type of documentation saying you are 21 to buy alcohol). But when the law is less clear, more often than not, pesky little statutes seem to slip by even the most diligent lawmakers and end up causing more problems for college students than Mary Pat Clarke.
