Clayton St. Athens, GA 30601 After a drink or two, the conversation between my friends and I will occasionally turn to sex, and while it’s not the first time, we’re usually giggling like school girls in their first sex ed class after a few minutes. Though we’re close, these chats are not regular occurrences by any means. Even behind closed doors, conditions have to be just right. In this issue, we at Ampersand wanted to open the floor for discussion and hopefully make the topic a little less taboo. You’ll hear from a range of Athenians who give you embarrassing, hilarious and surprisingly sweet stories from the bedroom (pg. 8) and local musicians dish about their favorite songs to get down to (pg. 16). Get a closer look at the LGBTIQ community on campus and in the city, and the double standards that exist there (pg. 44), and explore your sexuality through outlets like yoga (pg. 31) or dance (pg. 36). From debunking myths about condom use (pg. 6), compatibility (pg. 28) and modern aphrodisiacs (pg. 12), to examining theories on body image (pg. 38), we tried not to leave anything out. But if you disagree, and you don’t find a story that resonates with you in this issue, please write to us. The more we talk about sex, particularly non-traditional experience and perspective, the more those ideas are strengthened, and more minds are opened. So no matter what you’re preferences are, let’s talk about sex, baby.
