Living with a roommate can make doing the dirty a little difficult. So some college students have to get a little creative. When the itch strikes, some people decide to drop everything and scratch.
For some, when the moment comes and they just can’t keep it in their pants, they resort to the closest available unoccupied space to grab a quickie. Caroline*, a junior, has taken out her sexual frustration in the Glenn G. Bartle Library.
“We were studying and got horny so we went to the library tombs,” Caroline said. “It was convenient and it was 2 a.m. so we weren’t worried about getting caught because it was so late.”
Tiffany*, a senior, chose the recreation room in Dickinson Community’s Rafuse Hall so she and her partner could be alone.
“We went to the rec room because we didn’t want to have sex in front of his roommate,” Tiffany explained.
Serena*, a junior, had to relocate her boinking to another area on account of roommates putting a damper on their plans.
“My roommate was home, so we went into the janitor’s staff room in [Hinman College’s] Cleveland Hall,” Serena said. “That room is always open and no one ever goes in there.”
Probably the riskiest public places to take a chance rolling around in the hay are public access points such as stairwells and elevators. Steven*, a senior, has turned the elevator in Hinman College’s Hughes Hall into a sex box while James*, a senior, has used the stairwells in Mountainview College’s Cascade Hall as his personal gateway to pleasure.
“I’ve been all over every stairwell in Cascade,” James said.
Sometimes it’s the risk that makes sex all the more exciting. Serena admits to being scared but getting a rush out of it, while others get so caught up in the commotion of sexual ecstasy they can’t process anything else.
“The thought never even crossed my mind that I would get caught,” Austin* said.
Or course, some students aim to be as risky as possible and even have a special spot on campus that they would love to christen with that special someone. For James and many others, Lecture Hall 1 is where it’s at.
Caroline would like the whole world to see her performance of the horizontal tango in the Anderson Center, while Sidney* wants to give a free smoosh show outside of the Fine Arts Building, in the trees, remotely close to the fountain. Austin wouldn’t mind boning in the library stacks or in the pool in the West Gym. Tiffany would like to put her lovemaking on display in the huge windows of the study lounge of Newing College’s Bingham Hall.
But why risk getting caught?
“I love having sex in random places,” Tiffany explained.
