Revealing your porn-watching habits to your friends is like telling them your latest sex-capade: it’s either an immediate label of a freak in the sheets or they will confess that they, too, enjoy watching porn. Women seem to get a different reaction from other women when discussing porn, whereas among men it seems to be common knowledge. People joke...
The second the doors of the residence halls open, a wave of jubilant commotion infuses the lobby and titillates our inquisitive ears. But if you really take the time and dissect the various conversations happening around you, whether it’s in the dining hall or between the dorm room walls, it seems as though the most popular topic of discussion...
As the spring quarter comes to a close, many couples are forced to separate — some are going back to different hometowns for the summer and others are being separated by after-graduation plans. And the big question for most of these couples is: Are we going to try a long-distance relationship (LDR)?
I have had this conversation myself when I...
Let’s be real — most college students are in a perfect environment for casual sex, and hookups are just as prevalent as dating nowadays. Some people aren’t into that scene, but for those who are, it’s important to know the ropes when entering hookup culture. This isn’t just the basic “use a condom” information (although you obviously should be...
Did you know that every second, 28,258 Internet viewers are watching porn? And, not surprisingly, about 72 percent of those viewers are men. These statistics may bother many spouses or conservative individuals, but it’s not fair to say that watching porn is wrong — in fact, it’s pretty normal. However, it has become so normalized that it may be...
Everyone knows that when you get your heart broken it really sucks. Most college-age individuals have experienced the excruciating feeling of losing a boyfriend or girlfriend, but those who haven’t yet often look at weeping, ice-cream-binging dumpees as cry babies or drama queens. The last breakup I went through, personally, was pretty dramatic; I spent most of my time...
I don't consider myself naive or anything, but if I see someone with a band-aid on their neck, my first thought would probably be they just got choked-slammed the night before. Some may question the need for any sort of neck cover-up, whether it is a scarf in the middle of the Riverside summer or a blotch of concealer...
Tuition has skyrocketed, the job market is tough and young college-age women are finding it hard to pay off school loans. It’s no easy task to balance a part-time job and rigorous college courses. So many damsels in debt are turning to sugar-dating — that is, trading their company (and possibly sex) for financial support from older, wealthy men.

As a 21-year-old heterosexual male, I am blessed in that I have to contend with barely any double-standards in the realms of courtship and love. However, there is one such double-standard that does possibly affect men, and I’ve seen it thrown around quite a bit in recent years — most often found in various forums, attention-seeking social media posts...
Something that’s been on my mind for some time, that in many ways is difficult to talk about, is the way I’ve noticed the immense amount of judgment and sexual policing other women give each other — consciously or subconsciously. Either way, it’s a problem.
