This is when many couples fall into a rut and feel there’s nothing he or she can do to revitalize both the physical and emotional [...]

The idea of long-term relationships often seems daunting to free-spirited college students. Single young adults commonly have the mindset that a serious relationship will hinder their college experience or take them away from their friends.

In college, many young adults ditch dating for casual hook-ups and try to steer clear of long-term relationships.

To such people, the effects of hook-ups make forming a romantic relationship difficult in college.
Your chances of [...]

It’s always imperative to let your significant other know you care, but a factor commonly overlooked by College students is the importance of setting a romantic mood.

There is a common misconception in popular culture that everyone has had sex by the time they move into college. This, of course, is resoundingly false, and there is nothing wrong with coming into college a virgin.
Oftentimes, virgins feel like they’re out of place in a college environment because so many people are focused on [...]

When I was 13, my first boyfriend was bluntly honest with me — whether I liked it or not. He told me when he watched porn and masturbated, which I hated at the time. I thought masturbation was disgusting and if I didn’t masturbate, he didn’t have any reason to either. Since then, I have [...]

In last week’s column, I discussed hook-ups in college, and there seems to have been a misunderstanding about my intent. I do not encourage consistent promiscuity, but I recognize it occurs regularly in college, so it should be discussed.

When you’re single, you can really have the time of your life. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want to, and you don’t have a significant other trying to change your mind. But, being single means you don’t always have the same sexual partner on hand, and it makes appeasing your hormones more [...]

The closeness you experience with your friends in college is a wonderful bond, but this bond can easily be broken — at least weakened — by dating within your group of friends.

In the Sex and the City movie, Samantha Jones says, “I can’t color enough. I would color all day every day if I had my way. I would use every crayon in my box.” She is talking about sex — not coloring — and she has a valid point. Sex is fun. Despite Samantha’s naughty [...]

Finally! You’ve met the man or woman of your dreams. You’re on cloud nine and you couldn’t be happier. Well, maybe you’d be happier if your new partner kissed the way you like.
Unfortunately, not everyone kisses the same way or has the same technique when performing sexual acts. Some people like a slow, romantic kiss, [...]

Upon entering college, you leave behind the days of parents poking their heads into your bedroom when your significant other is visiting.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean you will be left uninterrupted when you want alone time at school. You will most likely have a roommate who won’t appreciate coming back to the room from a shower [...]

Everyone knows relationships aren’t always easy, but people in long-distance relationships are reminded of this far more often than the average college student.
Of course, these couples have the same arguments as other couples, but the relationship is strained by the fact that they don’t see their significant other on a daily basis.
When the pros and [...]

As a freshman at the College, it may initially seem like a good idea to hook up with or date someone on your floor. The person is always around, and it just seems like the most convenient option.
