With Halloween right around the corner, we welcome trick-or-treaters and fetishes.
It’s quite possible that Halloween is the favorite celebration among the college population, as normally inappropriate costumes are encouraged. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy the parade of Playmate wannabes patrolling down Pearl?
Watch as girls pull up their thigh-highs for their Little Red Riding Hood and French maid costumes, because Halloween is the one night a year they can get away with dressing as provocatively as college budgets can afford.
Playing dress-up in the bedroom is always fun, but Halloween allows the fetishes and obsessions to take to the streets.
Fetish dress can be a great part of one’s sexuality and a shared experience. Dressing up with sexy costumes are more than acceptable on any given night of the week, but Halloween is a great opportunity for it, as the feather dusters, latex push-up bras and whips go on sale!
And while Halloween in college doesn’t do much for your sweet tooth anymore, it does a lot for your sex life. When else are you going to get the chance to share the backseat of a Durango with your CHEM 1021 lab partner in a Lady Gaga leotard?
Candy bowls will be filled with condoms and flavored lube (or at least they are at Planned Parenthood), as support is shown to put your libido to work. Planned Parenthood knows that Halloween weekend will spike college sexual activity, which is why they hand out their famous “shag bags” to students and other patrons who inquire about Halloween sex.
Everybody has that fantasy of having sex with a masked partner, or playing cops and robbers in bed. Nobody is going to give you a second look if you whip out the handcuffs on the Hill this weekend.
Sex in costume allows us to release our inner personas and enact the roles we wouldn’t dare consider on a normal Sunday night, whether they consist of a more X-rated version of Bella and Edward, or being dominated by Michael Meyers.
This is it. The countdown is over and Halloween starts this weekend. I suggest you take advantage of this golden opportunity, as you’ll have to wait another year before you see another girl dressed up in a Neytiri blue spandex Avatar costume.
And remember, if you find that perfect Snooki look-a-like on the Hill and decide to act out your Jersey Shore fantasies, nobody will judge you as you do the walk of shame back to your apartment with a bump-it sticking out of your Franzia box Halloween costume.
