I’m a classy lady, what can I say?

Since that night, I’ve heard multiple stories from friends about how awkward it is to find a couple doin’ it in public, and knowing that I am one of those people, I feel a little guilty for giving in to my animal instincts out in the open (even though it was 4am and no one was around). I’ve also heard just as many stories about awesome public sex that make me think it’s not a bad thing, so long as it’s kept semi-private.

So, let’s discuss:

On one hand, everybody’s sex life needs a little spice from time to time. Gettin’ it on somewhere where there’s a chance – even a small one, that someone might see makes it just that much more exciting and risqué. Plus there’s something awfully freeing about being naked outside.

On the other hand, it does seem fairly inconsiderate.  While it might be sexy for the people having the sex to know that someone might see, involving other people in your sex life without their consent is kind of, well, creepy. And having no consideration for others and having sex somewhere that kids can see you is, I think everyone would agree, very wrong.

What do you guys think? Is public sex an okay thing to partake in from time-to-time, or is it wrong to bring your bedroom fun out where curious eyes might catch a glimpse?

Obviously, a lot of these involve sex. (What can I say? It’s always on my mind.)

So this week, I’ve decided to put together a comprehensive list of every last place we all should have sex (not together, of course) before walking the plank into real life. Unfortunately, I go to an all-women’s college so most of these are just wishful thinking for me, but they are more than feasible and exciting for the rest of you.

An empty classroom. Make sure you can’t be seen from the window on the door.

On the top bunk. You haven’t experienced college if you’ve never banged your head in cowgirl position.

A frat house. Use protection.

The shower. Don’t forget your flip-flops

You’re roommate’s bed. Just make sure she won’t be coming home in the middle of it… and clean the sheets after.

The movie theater. In case you didn’t get to in high school. Might be better to stick to heavy petting on this one.

A stranger’s house at a party. Find an empty room, unless you’re really adventurous.

Outside. I once had sex up against a tree in the Rocky Mountains. Highly recommended.

An on-campus bathroom. For the between-class quickie.

You’re bedroom at home. Because you’re finally allowed to have the door closed when boys are over.

A cheap hotel room. Because who can afford a 5-star hotel for a romantic weekend away?

On the beach. Spring Break is just around the corner….

On an airplane. Might be better to just throw a blanket over your laps and do some handiwork; there’s no need to get Homeland Security involved in your sex life.

In a foreign country. If you’re not studying abroad, at least do it in another state.

In the library. I can’t think of a better use for group-study rooms. And that whole “sex in the stacks” really is a rite of passage.

Any other places you should get frisky in before graduation?

Just to start off – I’m not bashing sex. If you’re a regular reader then you know that for many of us sex and college go together like Uggs and snow — you can’t have one without the other. I’m all for sex, but I believe making out is hotter. After all, there is a reason bumping uglies is a euphemism for sex.

While you can’t really have sex without making out first, you can totes make out without having sex. Which makes making out hot no matter what time of the month it is. I don’t know about you, but there’s very few firsts in any sort of relationship (be it one that goes long-term or just the random boy you meet at the bar) that are more memorable than that first hot makeout session. Here’s why:

-You can’t get pregnant from making out. So, no pill or condom necessary!

-You can do it any time of the month. Without a gross mess.

-Your chance of getting an STD is a lot lower.

-It can last a lot longer than sex. Especially with a college guy.

-Getting caught making out with someone is a lot less embarrassing than getting caught doing the nasty. Especially if you live at home with your parents.

-Likewise, making out in a public place still has the thrill, without the risk of getting caught. And you don’t need to wear a skirt

-You don’t have to worry about your  “number.”  Because who really cares how many people you’ve made out with?

-There is no clean up after, no evidence to dispose of, and no wet spot to avoid sleeping on

-If you’re just making out, this can’t happen.

Why do you prefer a hot makeout sesh?

Their findings, highlighted on BettyConfidential.com, are surprising and hilarious. Here’s what you, college ladies, had to say:

Did you know that vegetarians enjoy giving oral sex 2.5 times more than carnivores do? (Dramatic pause as you snap a carrot from the crudites platter.)

Redheads are eight percent more likely to participate in a menage a trois than college students with other hair hues. Also, 24 percent of redheads have taken naked photos or posted sexy videos of themselves online. (Lucille Ball would be so proud.)

Lest you think carrotheads are the only kinky kids out there, nearly 60 percent of college students have participated in a one-night stand. And 41 percent have had sex while someone else is in the room. Sounds more risqué than it is, when you calculate the inevitable roommate factor. Ah, dormmates, the mother of exhibitionism.

Next time a friend or offspring announces her longing for a tattoo, throw some tat stats in her face. According to the study, students with tattoos are twice as likely to have STDs and take pregnancy tests than their tat-free counterparts. They may also be destined to a lifetime of boring sex, as tattooed folks prefer the missionary 2-to-1 to the cowgirl position.

Do you agree with these findings? And don’t you think it’s weird that people who don’t eat meat like to…well, you know.
