What Sex Will You Have Beneath This Poster?

Photo: allposters.com

Nearly every incoming freshman seeks to be both cool and normal. This means that freshman must decorate their living space (a space that will be seen by others) in a manner that is both cool and normal. And that’s why nearly everyone has the same set of posters. They are tried, true, and perfectly suited to people who aspire to get laid.

But what sort of sexual encounter will you have beneath each of these cool, normal posters?

M.C. Escher
Your romantic encounter with this person will involve conversations that are the verbal equivalent of M.C. Escher: You won’t know how they started, you won’t know how to leave. He will awkwardly lean in to kiss you just as you have found an exit line and you will accidentally bump his teeth with your shoulder.

This person believes in immaculate conception, of the variety in which a baby is found in a beautiful garden bed of pale-green lettuce leaves. In sum: Genitalia does not exist in this person’s world.

She’s going to tell her mother about it the next day because she tells her mother everything, well, not everything everything, but you know what she means. Anyway, her parents are going to be in town next weekend if you’re, like, free, no pressure or anything.

Because of your ambivalence about this dude, you instructed your friend to text you every half-hour with a possible emergency exit plan. She has forgotten.

Happy camping, kids.
