Today’s earlier article about the decline in porn spam doesn’t seem to be affecting our horney young folk much, as magazines are now showing up at even the most prestigious of colleges, such as Harvard.

When you think of a college-operated sex magazine, what do you think would be in it? Pages and pages of porn, right? Maybe a feminist poem depicting the life and times of a vagina? The newest vibrators on the market? The answers to the above questions are a resounding yes, yes and yes.

Granted, college is the time in your life when you are not only supposed to but also damn near expected to experiment and find yourself, both in education and in life. The Daily 49er article also asks

But are these magazines merely another way for oversexed college kids to exploit themselves or are they actual art forms, exemplifying freedom of expression and sexual liberty?

As a photographer, I’m going to say that it can be used for artistic expression. As someone who writes, both on here and several other sites daily, I’d like to think that the ability to write and have others read can be extremely expressive and helpful.
