“The Birds and the Bees” issue is the college version of those weird puberty books you got in middle school. Your big siblings at Street are fiending to answer the ever–present question that you never thought to ask, from “does oral count as a body?” to “Is Gen Z even having sex?” We’ll offer a snapshot of the vibrant queer community on campus and share our own embarrassing stories of awkward first dates and failed hook–ups. Our feature will dive into how Penn administrators and student groups seek to address the fragmented sex–ed experience of our student body.
Before you go any further, here’s the wisdom I can offer: You’ll probably forget half the things you’ll learn in CIS 1600 or your writing seminar. But you can’t shake the lessons that lead to you showing up to class in a turtleneck and sunglasses.
And make sure you own a turtleneck.
