College is all about self-discovery and exploration, particularly when it comes to sex. Now, Princeton University is the latest Ivy League institution to officially charter a student-run BDSM group.
The kinky new club is called “Princeton Plays.” It will be officially recognized by the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students and the Undergraduate Student Government beginning in the spring semester, making it eligible for university funding.
“Through conversation, we kinda realized that we wanted a space for this on campus, more than what was out here, which was nothing,” a member of the club, who asked to remain anonymous, tells the Princetonian.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But before you go getting any ideas, you should know that despite being a BDSM group dedicated to fetishism and kink, the focus of the club is not actually sex. In fact, many of the members couldn’t care less about that.
“Contrary to popular belief, many people in the kink community are asexual,” another member says.
For those hoping to engage in some erotic behavior with like-mined kinksters, they’ll have to be mindful of campus rules and regulations concerned sexual activity. The club says it will report any Title IX violations to campus police.
Somehow we don’t think a university-sponsored club dedicated to erotic behavior was what the New Light Presbyterians first founded the school in 1746.

“More and more college students”
College has always been about sexual exploration. Millennials need to get over feeling like they’re the first.
Vince
Of coarse thinking you’re the first is itself part of the youth experience.

I’m intrigued. Oh I realized millennials are all f*cked up with their ridiculous Daddy Issues, and they’re always wanting me to f*ck them – “f*ck me Daddy” is always the message (they’re certainly direct, albeit unimaginative) – but I didn’t realize they were so kinky too! Apparently I must investigate. Hey, I aim to please.
But I don’t understand why asexuals would be interested in BDSM? What’s the appeal? They don’t like sex, but they do like the nazi trick-or-treater costumes? I don’t get it.
@Vince: Of course you really need to stop writing “of coarse.” People may think you’re uneducated and coarse, of course. lol.
Vince
Ahh…they’re, their, there Grammar Nazi.

Maybe it’s you with ridiculous kiddy issues?..

Not alone there. I get so many daddy messages from thirsty young lads. The irony? I’m more inclined to want a daddy myself 😀

Lol – it’s hilarious listening to these stupid fetishists crow as if they invented BDSM. Memo to stupid fetishists: BDSM has been around for millions of years. You invented nothing.

Thank you for the education Jaxton. I was not aware that the dinosaurs could tie knots without opposable thumbs.

I don’t know about you all, but that top picture with the leather mask and chains doesn’t make me feel kinky or sexy, it makes me think I’m trapped in a “game” in one of the Saw movies.

So if this group is not about sex just dressing up then isn’t it just another case of college age kids trying to prove how different and non-conformist they are. People have been doing this for decades without having to form special clubs for it. Sounds like a huge yawn really.

BDSM asexuals. That’s totally not illogical. Peak identifarianism.
Ummmm Yeah

Can anyone help me understand the appeals of bondage and leather? Bondage is so humiliating and degrading and the leather costume looks so tight and uncomfortable. Why do people find them a turn-on?
jjose712
That’s exactly what happens with fetish, what’s a big turn on for you can be a totally turn off for me and viceversa.
You don’t need to understand anything you only need to accept that not everybody has the same reaction to the same things

I’m very happy with vanilla…it requires fewer accessories.
