Q. What are the effects of a
male getting getting gonorrhea
before puberty? In the 6th grade I
had sexual encounters and then
experienced burning upon urinat
ing. I am now 18 and have never
consulted a doctor.
A. Since gonorrhea is the sec
ond most common communicable
disease in the U.S. (second only
to the common cold), you might
well suspect you had gonorrhea.
However, it is very unlikely that
you had gonorrhea if the burning
sensation was your only symp
tom.
With gonorrhea in the male, you
would also have had genital swel
ling, a pus discharge. and possibly
internal pain (as the infection
spread to the bladder, prostate
and kidneys). After the burning
subsides, you can be left sterile
because of the scarring of your
urogenital tract.
If untreated, one will continue to
experience fever, pain, skin le
sions, pus discharge, and even ar
thritis. In severe untreated cases,
death can result from complica
tions too gory to detail here. So,
you see, you had best check this
out with a doctor, especially if you
have continued to have any symp
toms. See the student health
center.
Special note: Females are often
without symptoms so you must
not hesitate to seek medical atten
tion if you have any questions.
Q. I hate oral sex, but my boy
friend would really like it. What
should I do?
A. First of all, it's O.K. to prefer
not to do something sexually. But,
given that many people do enjoy
oral sex (60-80% of college
educated people) there are ways
to learn to like it if you are moti
vated. The first principle is to take
it slow. Don’t submerge for 20 mi
nutes if the very thought of oral
sex nauseates you. Get close
briefly (like the navel, inner thigh).
Gradually increase your time
and proximity. Make some pleas
ant associations (think of an ice
cream cone, pickle, etc.). Or you
can go all the way (so to speak)
and actually apply some favorite
substance (to the penis in this
case). Chocolate syrup, pudding
and whipped cream are old
stand-bys. Good luck!
Q. Does virginity have any rela
tion to whether the “sex” is
homosexual or heterosexual? I
mean, if you've had homosexual
sex, but no heterosexual sex, are
you still a virgin?
A. Since questions like these
are largely semantic, I turn to my
handy Webster's which tells me
that a virgin is either a female ani
mal or male who has not had sex

ual intercourse (this along with
other inspiring words like unsul
lied, pure, unused, etc.). Since in
tercourse implies heterosexuality,
the simple answer to your ques
tion is yes, you are still a virgin.
In some respects this question
reminds me of all the high school
females, who after having done it
with fingers, vibrators and zu
cchinis, wonder they still are vir
gins! Technically, yes. Our society
suffers from a pre-occupation with
intact hymens and the question of
their disposal.
Many a "true" virgin is cha
grined on her wedding not to pro
duce the proverbial bloody sheets.
(She probably lost it to her tricycle at
3). So don’t worry.

50Y0IDO: GOING TO A TOGA FAk’JYI
STEP ONE: Get a toga.
QUESTION: How does one acquire a toga?
The easiest way to get a toga is to borrow one. This is
particularly simple if you are a Greek or if you happen
to know a Greek. All Greeks own togas since they ate
used for evenings at the Parthenon or visits to Xana
phillipe’s house or just when one Greek drops over to
another Greek’s house to split a cup of mead and a pita
or two. Togas come in one size and will fit anybody
including Siamese twins.
If you are not a Greek or do not know a Greek,
you can easily make your own toga. Here's how:
1. ) Take one bed sheet. If you do not
own a sheet borrow a sheet from
neighbor. Iell the neighbor you are
going to show home movies; if
you tell your neighbor you are
going to make a toga, he or
she might not loan you the
sheet since one generally spills
things on togas at toga
parties.
2. ) Throw one end of the
sheet over one shoulder and
tuck the other end of the sheet
between your legs.
Tie the two ends together
3. ) Find the other two

how to have a good time
with your toga, go see

loose ends. Almost all sheets have four comers. If you
cannot find the other two ends or if your sheet does not
have four corners, just tuck in anything you can find any
place you can find to tuck. Cover all vital areas. This is
a toga party NOT an orgy. Orgy instructions are sent
to you through the mails in plain brown envelopes.
4.) Find a laurel wreath. Almost any drug store has
a laurel wreath. Put it on your head. If you cannot find
a lauiel wreath, a Christmas wreath will do. Tou now
have a toga or a capoga, or laurel wreath, or as it is
some times known, a hat.
STEP TWO: Have some Miller Beer.
STEP THREE: Attempt to
dance with someone of the
opposite sex. The presence
of music is always helpful.
(commercial: we’ve been forced to
mention here that you should- play
National Lampoon's Animal
House soundtrack album because
MC A Records is pac ing for part of
this toga party manual) Keep an eye
on your toga. Make sure it's holding
together. Tou are not an exhibitionist
'tou're just a swell person out for a
wild evening
STEP FOUR: Enjoy yourself!
