Andy Warhol once said, “Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.”
Whether Warhol’s statement holds true is in the eye of the beholder, but one thing is certain: As a society, we are infatuated with sex. It’s a primal part of our culture, impacting our social lives, our entertainment and our health.
But what does sex mean to you?
Any given person would produce a different response to this question, which brings us to today’s edition of The Daily Reveille.
Our reporters scoured the campus, seeking answers to a variety of pressing topics: How sexually active is the University’s campus community? What do international students have to say about cultural disparities? What can students do to get in the mood?
We don’t claim to have all the answers. Instead, we hope to address the burning questions everyone is asking but no one is answering. We’re going “between the pages” to explore the latest trends and stigmas students are facing as they embrace their sexuality in college.
In this issue, we hope students find their own voices echoed through their peers. We hope you learn something you didn’t know before as well as unearth some humor surrounding this contentious topic.
In dissecting a matter as layered as this, one prevailing theme emerges: We’re all innately sexually beings. But more importantly, we aren’t so different after all. I hope you find that to be true in today’s issue — it’s something our country forgets far too easily.
Plus, if you’re lucky, you can take what you read here and apply it between the sheets.
