Valentine’s Series

  • By February 16, 2012

    There are a lot of myths and misinformation about sex. But think about it guys: did you ever get those hairy palms you were promised? In reality, sex is the answer to many of our problems, helping with mental health, body issues and confidence. It’s time to debunk the rumours and go deep under the sheets.
    Sex is healthy and natural; it may be condemned by some because it’s not always within a marriage, but 79 per cent of you are already doing the deed so you might as well do it for the right reasons. But if you’re not doing it, don’t feel pressured. I only want to offer some things to remember so that when you do start, you can have an excuse to do it whenever or for whatever reason.

  • Singledom: cherish your freedom while it lasts

    By February 14, 2012

    I have never been one for commitment. I can spend hours mulling over a simple decision, weighing the pros and cons, before finally making a choice and (maybe) sticking to it. It shouldn’t come as any surprise then that I can’t commit to a significant other.

    My lack of commitment has never phased me but lately it seems that all I see is people jumping into relationships. This isn’t helped by the fact that I work at a bridal salon. Nothing is a better reminder of life-long commitment than being surrounded by big, poofy white dresses all day long.

  • Locally-produced film The Hunt for Butterflies dwells on life after love

    By February 11, 2012

    It being the Valentine’s season, it’s the perfect time to talk about romantic movies. And this being the Sheaf, why not talk about one being filmed right here in Saskatoon? Director Paul Clint Panko is hard at work right now on a locally-produced movie shot on campus. The film, entitled The Hunt for Butterflies, is a short film that on the surface is about a young man trying to recover after a breakup.

    OK, so it’s not really a “romantic movie,” but I can still talk about it!

  • The spirit of Valentine’s Day

    By February 11, 2012

    Ah, love is officially in the air and so are unseasonably warm temperatures for this time of year. But that’s a different story.

    It’s almost Valentine’s Day, the day when a guy in a diaper shoots people in the butt with arrows, and somehow we’re okay with it. It’s Cupid, and it’s love, so we can make an exception.

    Whether or not you have a significant other, Feb. 14 always manages to pull people’s heart strings one way or another.

  • Music to fuck to this Valentine’s day

    By February 11, 2012

    We’re all familiar with lists of love songs and sexy songs (Al Green, anyone?) coming out around Valentine’s Day. This has been done and done again, but one important sector of love-related music has been undeservedly ignored. I refer, of course, to music you can fuck to.

    During February, as the ice outside temporarily thaws and our thoughts turn to love or the drunken hookups week-long school breaks inevitably lead to, it is absolutely essential to have a rock-solid go-to list of music to get down to. And no, there’s no Al Green here. Save that for the love song lists.

  • A most confusing holiday: no one has a clue how to deal with Valentine’s Day

    By February 11, 2012

    If New Year’s is the time for personal resolutions, then Valentine’s Day is the time for relationship resolutions. Whether you’re currently attached, desperately seeking or decidedly single, Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to weigh the pros and cons of relationships.

  • The Bachelor(s): U of S Edition

    By February 10, 2012

    Single on Valentine’s Day? Starting to think there aren’t any more good men in the world? Natahna Bargen has gone ahead and found three hot bachelors on campus worth approaching — so put on that lip gloss and get ready to be one step closer to the man of your dreams!

  • The art of breaking up

    By February 9, 2012

    There is no denying that we live in a “couple society” where romance and partnership are highly publicized and idealized. Relationships are a main topic of conversation among friends and, during such conversations, I have noticed a contradictory trend I will title the “Valentine’s Paradox.”

    For those of you whose relationship isn’t all cinnamon hearts and Hershey’s Kisses this Valentine’s Day, I have compiled some notes on breakup etiquette for the dumper and dumpee.
