Who am I? I’m just an ordinary girl with an extraordinary preoccupation with sex. I’m not the Sexpert, and I’m no Carrie Bradshaw — or even a Lena Chen. I’m a Princeton student who loves talking about sex. I’m notorious among my friends for “always bringing up tits,” and I’m the girl who “always has her mind in the gutter.” I’m a straight girl who thinks it’s fun to kiss another girl every once in a while. I masturbate (in fact, I have two vibrators and hopefully a new one soon), and I’ve even been known to watch a porno or two. I’m not ashamed of my sexuality, and I display it whenever possible: through my clothes, my words, my movement. I’m not a slut. In fact, I’m not even single. I don’t know everything about sex, though I’d love to say I did. I’m not a nymphomaniac, despite evidence to the contrary. I’m a Prude Gone Wild.
I wanted to write this blog because I feel that sex is an important part of our lives. Whether you’re having sex, hoping for sex or even trying not to have sex, it’s something we all think about, and yet many of us feel terribly uncomfortable discussing sex and sexual politics in any real, honest way. If there’s anything a person should be comfortable with, it’s talking about sex and sexuality, because it’s so fundamental to social life, especially in college. Americans are so uptight when it comes to sex, and yet we have the highest rate of unwanted teen pregnancy in the developed world. Clearly something is not working. It’s time to stop focusing on how to stop people from having sex and start facing reality: Sex happens. It happens in relationships, out of relationships, in triangles, in squares … everywhere. As a young woman (or really, young person), I find it so hard to find any non-cliched and realistic information about sex and relationships as they actually occur. This blog is my attempt to fill that void on campus.
That being said, it seems only logical to start from the beginning …
