Let's Get It On

WEDNESDAY'S BIG STORY:
Random Hookups Aren't as Sexy as Relationships
One of the great aspects of living the college life is engaging in one of those magical nights. Yes, you guessed it, I'm talking about the magical night of a random hookup, where all the stars seem to align in your favor for just the right amount of time allowing you to get some much needed tail.

As Tiffany Ohara, a student columnist for the University of California in Santa Barbara's campus newspaper writes, college kids are no longer asking there friends if they got that goodnight kiss - they're asking much, much more. "Now the questions are, 'Dude, did you screw her? Did she give you head? Are her tits real?,'" she writes.

Random Hookups Cheapen the Magic of Sex

One of the great aspects of living the college life is engaging in one of those magical nights. Yes, you guessed it, I'm talking about the magical night of a random hookup, where all the stars seem to align in your favor for just the right amount of time allowing you to get some much needed tail.

As Tiffany Ohara, a student columnist for the University of California in Santa Barbara's campus newspaper writes, college kids are no longer asking there friends if they got that goodnight kiss - they're asking much, much more. "Now the questions are, 'Dude, did you screw her? Did she give you head? Are her tits real?,'" she writes.

Random hookups may not be the key to improving your sexual confidence.

"Many people - mostly guys - feel that they have to have sex with tons of people in order to improve their performance and keep their partner satisfied when they finally decide to commit," she writes.

Finding yourself a little steady honey to get it on with regularly may benefit you both.

"The less experience you both have, the more you can explore together, which creates that much more intimacy and romance," Ohara says.

"Sex is emotional, physical and spiritual," she continues, "By taking your pants off, you are agreeing to become a part of your partner and to let your partner be a part of you," Ohara says.

"I apologize if I have killed your boner or your puffy pussy, but next time you’re about to get down with someone you hardly know, think about what I’ve told you. If hookups are all you can get, well then, I feel bad for you," she concludes.

"I went to this nice tuxedo party at a mansion and as me and my girlfriend were leaving the valets parking the cars were from a fraternity, Fallon said"

"I said, 'So where's the party at?', just joking around," he continued. "They go, 'We'll have one if you come.' "So I said, 'Well, give me the address. We'll show up.' So we ended up going to this frat house in the University of Louisville and ended up playing beer pong until five in the morning."

Swedish Study Finds Smoking Weed May Add Difficulties to Pregnancy

Wednesday's Frat Boy News Pause for the Cause

A Swedish study suggests smoking marijuana during pregnancy may damage the fetal brain.

Proper wiring of hundreds of millions of cells in the brain determines how people think, remember, move or show emotions throughout their lives, according to study leader Dr. Tibor Harkany of Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

The processes through which nerve cells recognize each other are guided by specific chemical signals.

Scientists have identified that endogenous cannabinoids -- molecules naturally produced in the brain and functionally similar to THC from marijuana -- play unexpectedly significant roles in establishing how certain nerve cells connect to each other, according to the study published in the journal Science.

"Besides identifying a fundamental mechanism in brain development, the findings may provide new perspectives to identify the molecular changes in the brains of individuals prenatally affected by maternal cannabis abuse," Harkany said in a statement.

Shots Fired Near Texas A&M

The Frat Boy News daily campus police report for Tuesday:

(compiled by TheEagle.com)

A 21-year-old Bryan man remained in jail Monday after reportedly firing a handgun into the air at a crowded park near a College Station community center.

Brandon Demond Erskine told police he and some friends got into a fight with another group of men at the Lincoln Center around 9 p.m. Sunday, police said.

Erskine said the group started to crowd him so he fired several shots into the air with a .22-caliber revolver to try to clear the area so he could leave, officers said.

Police stopped the car Erskine was riding in as he left and found the revolver under the front passenger seat, according to a police affidavit.

Erskine was charged with deadly conduct, a third-degree felony, and unlawfully carrying a weapon, a Class A misdemeanor. He was held at the Brazos County Jail in lieu of $8,000 bail.
