Sagehens Get Super Sex In Public

By EMILY FIELD

So it’s Saturday night, you’re hanging out in your room with your significant other, and well, you’re both starting to feel a little more than amourous. But there’s a hitch. Maybe you’ve sexiled your roommate twice already this week and she’s starting to become a little less than understanding. Maybe she’s already reserved the room for the night. Or maybe, just maybe, your sex life could do with a little variety. Whatever. The bottom line is that a twin extra long just isn’t cutting it anymore. But fortunately, you have the entire campus at your disposal for your sexual pleasure. All it takes is a little imagination, and more than a little cojones. Here are some initial guidelines and ideas to help you on the way to more adventurous and kinky sex for the novices to the seamy underworld of sex in public places, tried and tested by some fearless and anonymous Pomona students.

The Dugout: perfect for the avid sports fan, this location yields infinite possibilites for dress-up and role-playing. For example: "High School Cheerleader (complete in tarty outfit and pom-poms) meets Star Pitcher". The game of baseball is full of sexual innuendo–where else can you play with balls and score a homer? An added bonus–after dark, no one goes to the dugout, so you can be as loud as you want. Plus, even though you are outside, the dugout prevents unfortunate pedestrians and creepy old men from stumbling in on you mid-orgasm. "Even though we were inside the dugout and totally concealed from view, we could still see the trees and cars outside, which was really neat. However, the benches inside are rather narrow. We probably should have brought a blanket to lie on."

Recommended equipment: Uniform suggested, but not necessary.

The Laundry Room: face it, who hasn’t fantasized about sex on an unbalanced washing machine? Well, ok, it may just be me, but still, it’s an idea with some merit. The good thing about Pomona’s laundry rooms is that there are condom machines inside, which just lends itself to interesting combinations of doing one’s laundry and getting it on at the same time. But first, make sure the door locks–as some of our reviewers unfortunately found out, there are people who do laundry after midnight - "Uh…we definitely had someone walk in on us halfway through…not the best way to meet your downstairs neighbors." Also, do a favor to your dormmates and bring a towel-no one wants your bare ass near their clean clothes.

Recommended Equipment: Quarters.

The Showers: first of all, make sure the timing is right. I suggest going during mealtimes, when everyone else in the dorm is down at the dining hall. While most showers at Pomona tend to vary in size, certain dorms do have large shower stalls. With benches. This is key. "And it’s a good thing too that the bathrooms in our dorm can be locked and dead-bolted. I don’t know if I could deal with another person walking in on us." Playing with the shower spray could also be mutually enjoyable. Hot or cold? Hard or soft? You decide. Experiment a little; this place brings bath toys to a whole new level.

Recommended Equipment: Flip flops…foot fungus is never, ever sexy.

The Pool: while it might be easier to break into Pendleton Pool to engage in some illicit sexual activity, consider this: Haldeman has a hot tub. Now, if sex in a hot tub doesn’t seem a little titillating, you might as well be a monk. A word to the wise however: sex in water does tend to dry one out, so it is not the healthiest place in the world to have sex. And there is always the possibility of accidentally ingesting some yummy chlorinated water while in the throes of passion. Proceed with caution. Our reviewers advise using the shallow end of the pool. Unless you’re into necrophilia, drowning your partner while having sex is probably not the best idea.

Recommended Equipment: Water wings…just kidding.

The Library: who doesn’t need a study break once in a while? So the next time your boyfriend or girlfriend is boning up on organic chemistry, head over to the library for a special surprise. The library is full of possible rendezvous locations. For starters, how about the top of the stacks? Or the periodicals room in the basement? Plus, the library is just full of helpful reference guides. I’m sure the librarians would be happy to help you find a recent translation of the Kama Sutra.

Recommended Equipment: The ability to have sex quietly.

The Wash and the Greek Theater: first of all, unless there is a keg around, no one has any good reason to go to the Wash. Not only is it deserted, and conveniently out of earshot from any passerby, there is a virtual cornucopia of possible locations to choose from. For the more natural couples, there is plenty of nice soft grass to frolic in. For those desiring a little more variety , there are the benches and steps. And for the budding exhibitionists among us, there is the stage itself.

Recommended Equipment: At least a blanket…it’s surprising how cold Claremont can get at 3 AM.

Smith Campus Center: the pièce de resistance of public sex. There’s almost always someone hanging around Smith. While the meeting rooms do have nice comfy couches, don’t ignore other tantalizing places. The pool tables in the game rooms upstairs? Edmunds Ballroom? The mailroom? Don’t be scared off by its high traffic–as our reviewers found out, taking risks can reap unexpected rewards. "We had a close call when a tour group came by once, but trying to get it on as quickly and as quietly as possible made it extra-sexy."

Recommended equipment: Nothing, just hormones and nerves of steel.

So go forth and copulate with ingenuity and bravery, ye students of Pomona College. Prove once and for all that yes, there is sex at Pomona College. Literally.
