Happy Monday, my lovely, loyal readers, I’m hoping you had a great weekend and didn’t get into trouble. What did I do this weekend? It was actually pretty standard. I caught up on some sleep, hung out with some pals, got some work done, did a little mutual masturbation.

What?

That’s not how you spend your weekends?

Well, you might want to start.

According to Wikipedia, mutual masturbation is “a sexual act where two or more people stimulate themselves or one another sexually, usually with the hands.”

According to Lux, mutual masturbation is a way of life.

Got a boyfriend or girlfriend?

If you’re new to this concept, mutual masturbation is a great way to spice things up between the two of you.

Try not touching each other and only stimulate yourselves. Since you know your body so well, your hands will work exactly how you want them to, so you’ll always feel good.

You’ll stay safe, while being intimate at the same time. It’s sexy to watch someone pleasure themselves and even sexier for you to pleasure yourself with someone else watching.

Make a lot of eye contact during the act and there’s a good chance that you will both orgasm around the same time.

Want to take it to the next level? Try lying next to each other and linking arms.

Girls – add a vibrator or dildo into your routine.

Boys – find out if your girl will let you finish somewhere other than on your stomach. I tend to ask for it on my chest or back.

The other type of mutual masturbation might be better suited for someone that you aren’t in a serious relationship with.

This occurs when you both use your hands to pleasure each other. If you’ve been keeping up with my columns, you’re already all experts in the hand job department.

As for heavy petting, girls – tell your partner exactly how you like it, just as you would while receiving oral sex.

Want to make sure they really understand? Show them!

Use your hand or finger(s) and let them follow along.

Be careful, however, because PDS is a serious risk.

Pleasure Distraction Syndrome, or PDS, is something I made up completely to describe the situation in which both individuals are being stimulated and it feels so good, they forget what they are doing to the other person and stop.

Symptoms include failure to continue sexual act, confusion, and, if left untreated, will result in orgasm.

I almost always succumb to PDS while 69ing.

Just try to stay focused on the other person and what you’re doing, but if it happens, look on the bright side - your partner is very good at pleasuring you.

Regardless of how you do it, you should both be aroused, pleased and totally safe.

Mutual masturbation is a great way to make sure that you get what you want, your partner gets what he or she wants, and no one ends up pregnant.

So next weekend, in between watching movies with your roommates and partying with your friends, keep your hands busy with that lucky person in your life.

Now if you excuse me, the PDS is setting in.

Add another notch,

What a shame that anyone, including advertisers, would object to this article. To those who think sex is dirty or shouldn't be spoken about in public, I ask (rhetorically) whether you really believe it is better to hide truthful, valid information from children and young people and instead let them hear about it on the playground or from other sources who don't know what they're talking about -- for example, how many more girls should we allow to get pregnant because they think it can't happen the first time they have intercourse? Let's face reality. People have sex. People love to have sex. People are going to continue to have sex. That's not going to change. But what we can change is the atmosphere in which it is discussed and taught, and for me that means presenting the topic in a healthy, positive manner, which is precisely what this unfairly criticized article did.

to whomever said people in college are adults, I beg to differ. I know this might be difficult for you to understand, but being fresh out of mom and dads house at 23 years old does not an adult make. Enjoy this time you have, but trust me, in about 10 years youll realize how little you knew and that you were not an Adult. Dont let your childhood pass you by worrying about trying to be an adult, just live life to its fullest.

Lux,
Stop copying ideas from other peoples sex columns and claiming them as your own. Stop trying to grow up so fast and write about adult topics that are better spoken about in private and not on a college paper. Life your life, have fun growing up, experiment with yourself in private or even with your boyfriend, enjoy it while you can, but stop trying to make yourself out as a sex therapist. As you move from young adulthood to a full fledged adult (in about 10 years) you will realize how stupid these columns are.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the article. C'mon...people in college are ADULTS for heaven's sake...I don't see what all the hue and cry is about...

1) This is a college paper. SEX happens. I don't want to hear that you don't want your "children" reading about this kind of stuff, because they are doing so much worse in their own beds!
2) I don't want to hear that this paper is for others, because yes it might be endorsed by others, but seriously, read the paper. 99.5 percent of the paper is written by the students, polls from fhe students, or about the students. The rest of the world gets a small section on what is happening outside of student life. THIS PAPER STANDS FOR THE STUDENTS!
3) Don't get your panties in a bunch that it is not educational, and not news, etc. Why don't you look in any newspaper, and what do you know! Cartoon section! Obviously not all parts of a paper are dedicated to news, they make you laugh.
4) Most importantly- Free speech! If you don't want to read it, just skip it! It is a shame when people can't talk about the realities of an aspect of college life, whether it is a bad or good aspect! How do you expect your "kids" to learn, because you are obviously too uptight to talk to them about it yourself!

I think there's nothing wrong in this column.. It only implies that in order to have sexual satisfaction, Couples should be open enough on what they want and how they like it.. Most people have a different view regarding topics like this one because for them, SEX is such a taboo in the society to be talked about.. But what can I say?.. Go for it!(^^,) LOL!

Dear "1999 Grad":

I agree with everything you said, except for the fact that it's the 1st amendment. You'd think a COLLEGE GRADUATE would have gotten that right. Hah.

Hey folks, a paper (and a writer) has a second amendment right to publish this type of article if they wish, but advertisers (like Towson University) also have the right to pull their advertising if they wish. That is exactly what President Caret was going to do if this column continued. Based on what I've heard about the comments he received, he was right in doing so.

This type of article isn't for everyone. Those who oppose its publication in a college paper are not necessarily against free speech. If you think so, you may also think those who oppose President Obama are automatically racist.

The editor should have put this article somewhere other than the editorial page, and she should have thought hard about what her advertisers would think about it. (Maybe she did.) Her resignation was her choice but wasn't absolutely necessary.

I am on my 3ed tour of duty USMC. I cant believe im fighting to protect rights like the first amendment! Problem with the article? If you do then you get the same right to complain about it as this person did to right it. And if you feel otherwise you should be shipped off. Its like people picking and choosing parts of religion...the constitution is the same way ALL OR NOTHING!! And if you would like nothing please God tell me so I can get home to my wife and kids and out of this hell-hole!

If you don't like it, don't read it. Freedom of Speech is a constitutionally protected right. Safer sex is a great thing to promote amongst college students.

This is fairly mild as college newspaper sex columns go. It isn't a whole lot different from the columns I was reading when I was a freshman in Connecticut in 1978.

College students are adults, not fragile pups who need to be sheltered from frank discussions of the same activities they are already doing (or thinking about) anyway. College newspapers contain all sorts of journalism, including personal essays and opinion pieces. I'm not shocked, and only mildly titillated.

What on Earth is the big deal about this article? It was not vulgar, it was well written and frankly, the topic is important if we want our young people to practice safe-sex and stop the spread of STD's. Instead of finding fault, the author should be praised for providing information in such a straightforward and intelligent manner. The only fault of the editor was putting it in the paper as news, it's more of an editorial piece.

I came across this article while serving my 5th combat tour for yours, mine, my child, and the rest of America's freedom of speech, freedom of press, and other guaranteed rights inherent within our American culture. Since I have been in the Army for the last 20+ years, and currently in Afghanistan, away from my family - again, trust me, I know the value of freedom, I know censorship, dictatorship, love, life and regrettably - death. Americans have choices, the choice to read or not read an article, listen to a genre of music or watch a movie. If it is something that you do not prefer - don't indulge! It was a very entertaining article. In all of the horrible places that I've been, and I've been in a lot of them - the most distinct things that separates us from them - our choices, our freedoms, and our rights. Morality - an artificial term used by religious zealots in an attempt to control others meanwhile hiding behind their own deviant hypocrisy. Some of you who whine and complain about someone else's expression have no idea how great you've got it. Still serving proudly, because Rangers Lead the Way!!!

Considering the plight of newspapers today, almost a dead medium, it might be wise to spice it up a bit.

I hear more explicatives on the street and am offended than by this article. Get a grip, people! There are worse things in this world than an article promoting safer sex. President Caret, although he thought he was being politically correct, has made a bad decision. I am appauled that more articles aren't this "in your face".
Awesome

I'll be scatching or should I say stroking Towson off my list of college applications, since cnesorship seems to thrive there. I guess I 'll just have to settle for Hopkins...Must be my lack of edjamaction. Maryland makes me pround to be an American........not.
Able to Express Myself

The people who are leaving comments saying this is trash and they do not want their children reading things like this are the same people who have children who do not know how to express themselves emotionally or sexually or the children who have or pay for abortions in secret. I would rather my children see mutual masterbation as a choice and be willing to talk about it then not know how to express themselves. We practice mutual masterbation because we are not in the market for another baby right now and it is fantastic birth control plus it is healthy to be able to express yourself to your partner. As a college student you have probably done worse so why are you unable to read about alternative options. Lux, good for you for being willing to express this and Woods, way to be willing to print it unfortunatly you should have stood up for yourself and stuck it out.
