Tricolour Sex Diary: Girls aren’t the only ones who bleed in bed

Written on February 13, 2020. Posted in Columns.

Last school year, I didn’t date much. I justified it by telling myself I was too busy and it was smarter to focus on school work than on my love life. When I decided to stay in Kingston for the summer, I found that I had a lot more spare time and, like Kingston’s snow, my previous logic melted away. So...

Tri-Colour Sex Diary: The one where I threw up on his bed

Written on November 8, 2019. Posted in Columns.

On a Tuesday night in March of my first year at Queen’s, I was walking through a blizzard on my way to my first Tinder meetup. I’d been talking to Ethan* for a few days, and he’d invited me to his residence room to watch a sitcom and drink cheap wine. Ethan was funny, forward, and resembled a character...

Tri-Colour Sex Diary: Dating app hookups helped me become a strong, independent woman

Written on September 5, 2019. Posted in Columns.

Last September, I was in a full-speed spiral downward. I was switching ADHD meds and hadn’t had a break from work or the busyness of life all summer (and, as it turns out, I wouldn’t catch one either). Oh, and my summer fling was about to dump me through a cruel silence. He was cheating on me too,...

Tri-colour Sex Diary: Bumble, Mr. Brightside, and ball hockey

Written on March 15, 2019. Posted in Columns.

Most Queen’s students have dramatic dating app stories to swap, whether they used the platform to find love or simply ward off boredom. My only dating app experience was eventful enough that I won’t consider anyone’s profile beyond a casual swipe ever again. One Saturday night, trying to recover...

Tri-colour Sex Diary: A series of unfortunate boys

Written on February 28, 2019. Posted in Columns.

With a new year and semester beginning, I was determined to make better choices in 2019—especially when it came to men. But a few weeks after being back at Queen’s, a wine mixer, house party, and a few misguided suitors have put my hopes to rest. I met Nate,* who could be best described as stoner-meets-surfer,...

Tri-colour Sex Diary: My first same-sex hookup

Written on November 29, 2018. Posted in Columns.

When I tell my friends I recently became a sexually liberated woman, they often reply with a furrowed brow. My sexual enlightenment started at a concert downtown with a long-time friend of mine, Finn.* When the band played the song both of us had our first kisses to, I decided to make a move, and...

Tri-colour Sex Diary: A drunken princess takes on Queen’s

Written on September 14, 2018. Posted in Columns.

Once upon a time, a hopeful princess came to Kingston for Frosh Week, ready to down some vodka sodas and drunkenly find a storybook ending with her Prince Charming. Unfortunately, this story isn’t a fairy tale, and I didn’t find anyone close to royalty. The story I’m about to tell is a shameful,...

Sex in the limestone city: We need to follow our own rules

Written on November 3, 2017. Posted in Lifestyle.

Dating in the modern age can be difficult – there’s no denying it. I’ve both voiced complaints myself and heard numerous others from friends about how hard it is to actually have a relationship in our millennial era. In a generation that’s often overcome by social media, ever-changing societal norms...

Sex in the Limestone City: Canada's approach to sex education needs improvement

Written on October 3, 2017. Posted in Lifestyle.

Growing up, I was raised in a Catholic home and attended Catholic school for both my elementary and high school careers. Overall, I’d say I received an excellent education, allowing me to gain entry into Queen’s and excel in my program. However, there was one major gap in knowledge that attending...

Sex in the Limestone City: A trip to the SHRC

Written on September 19, 2017. Posted in Lifestyle.

During my first week at Queen’s, my residence floor had the pleasure of being visited by representatives from the Sexual Health Resource Center (SHRC). These “sexperts” introduced us to the amazing resource students have right at our fingertips that provide sex-related services from safe sex...

Back to the basics: “How do I ask a cute guy out?”

Written on March 3, 2017. Posted in Lifestyle.

Dear S&M: There’s this really good-looking guy in my tutorial that I’ve been waiting to ask me out all year. He still hasn’t even though we’ve been flirting and talking all year… Should I ask him out or will that make me look weird? Do guys even like it when girls ask them out? — Sadie...
