The "Apparent" Sex Lives of Frat Boys
Let me preface by saying that living above three frat boys has been an experience that I will never forget, EVER! I have been enlightened, not by choice, on the many occurrences of sexual frivolity and promiscuity that they all partake in. Never did I think that men talk about women this casually and freely, not to mention how degrading their portrayal of women is. They share every little detail that one can only classify as intimately personal, beyond private—things that should never be said aloud! These guys drink excessively and bring back different girls to their rooms almost every weekend. Partaking in drunken sexual escapades, they constantly re-tell their stories to each other, and we (my roommates and I) have the pleasure of hearing everything they say. These vulgar acts should be in porn. From the “trooper” who kept at it anyway to the girl who was “slapped in the a**” then told to “do it now, bi***”, these women are treated as objects. The funny thing is, the girl in every story does what the guy wants and likes it!
What does this say about the women who are at the other end of their relationships? Not much, that’s for sure. Someone must have really low self-esteem to participate in some of the activities that these guys mention. It is absolutely disgusting and pitiful! What have college students become? I thought we were more intelligent, here at TCNJ, but I was mistaken. Let me tell you, my group of girlfriends and I would never let a guy treat us that way. I’d break up with my boyfriend if he ever tried to do any of the things the “men” below do to the girls they sleep with. It is humiliating and disgusting. When we first overheard what they were saying (they were so loud we couldn’t help it!) we thought they were making it up. But as the weeks past and they kept talking this way, we had to believe that they weren’t lying. One would assume that they “enhance” their stories to sound better to their friends, but most parts are true. We know for a fact because we hear when they drunkenly stumble back in at 5am and take the girl into the shower.
I knew that guys talk to each other about relationships and sex, but I never thought that these people we consider men talk this way. It is not only demeaning to women, but a disgusting portrayal of college-aged people. Society has this view of college student partying and drinking excessively, being carefree and stupid and these guys just support their viewpoint. Even though there are awful men out there, there is still hope—they’ll grow up eventually…I think. The scariest part is that these men will become our doctors, teachers, and future fathers in society. Yikes!
