Over 600 students attended the Brown Queer Alliance’s annual wild sex party, Sex Power God. How wild was it, you ask? Not as wild as in 2005, when Bill “Falafel” O’Reilly sent a undercover cameraman and “24 students required EMS attention.” This year, only 3 party-goers required EMS services (though 6 others who may or may not have attended the party also required attention). Decrease in alcohol poisoning aside, Sex Power God was probably still a lot of fun. Below, Aida Manduley, ‘11, event coordinator, answers a few of my questions.

What was the hottest thing you saw at Sex Power God?

AM: Hottest things I’ve seen on the dance floor? Personally, just seeing couples dancing really well, sort of “performing” for each other and raving with the glow-sticks, then smiling at each other and dancing together really sensually. That’s the hottest thing–seeing the progression of attraction and how people perform for each other–because you can just FEEL the chemistry. It’s hot, it’s consensual, it’s super sexy, and it’s fun–a mix of lightheartedness that can beautifully segue into something very sexual and arousing. Seeing two people dancing, then slowly closing the distance between each other and closing their eyes as they kiss and move as a unit? It’s a wonderful thing. The sort of anticipation and degree of restraint as people negotiate boundaries and possibly hold off on sex until the dance is over is excellent, because the hottest thing for me is not just seeing people having sex on the dance floor. It happens, sure, but there are more layers of erotic complexity and tension when sex is NOT directly had at SPG.

“It happens?” “Sure?”

I come from a land (Columbia, unpopular subsection of) where sex on the dance floor is all but unthinkable. I am stunned and jealous. After the jump, Aida talks about bondage gear and calls me on my heteronormative assumptions. Read the rest of this entry »
