This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Yale chapter.

There is an epidemic spreading across Yale’s campus lately, and we are not talking about the Hand, Foot and Mouth disease that swept campus last semester–no, this scourge is far more heinous. We are talking about Yale students sticking their fingers up the bums of their sexual partners without asking. Many of these encounters are met with surprise, disgust… occasionally excitement. What is so alluring about the inner cavities of the Yale population, and why do so many feel this is act is warranted without request. We decided to interview a few brave souls who agreed to share their experiences (names have been changed to protect identities):

Katherine:

This was our second hookup, so I guess he was feeling bold? Halfway through foreplay he posed the question: “Have you ever done ‘butt stuff’?” I hadn’t, and I wasn’t exactly rushing to try it. He tried to compromise. “Well, can I put a finger in your butt?” Reluctantly, I agreed–and about 30 seconds later, asked him to remove it. It’s not exactly unpleasant, but…not my cup of tea. 

Bella:

I’ve been dating and hooking up with a guy for a bit now, and things have been great in bed. He’s pretty adventurous and I am too, so one night he pulled this on me and, frankly, I was pretty into it. I’d actually recommend it to others, as long as you’re looking for something new.

Sydney:

This girl and I had been flirting for a while, she seemed pretty cool. Even at Yale, pickings are slim for a gay girl so I was super excited. As we were doing our thing, I had this girl try to just go for it without even asking. I was like ‘ma’am I do not think so’, we kept hooking up but it wasn’t the same. I haven’t heard from her since.

Katy:

So this guy was pretty kinky, in fact, my friends and I refer to him as “Kinky Kyle”. We only hooked up once and I’m pretty sure he put a finger in my butt. I’m not positive, but like 93% sure. There was just so much else going on, handcuffs, blindfold… who really knows what happened. I don’t think it could’ve been a thumb. Maybe a small finger or something… like a pinky. 

James: 

So I was upstairs in the house with this girl, the party was still going on downstairs but we had decided to dip. We were going at it, you know, doggy and I figured “hey why not. I heard girls were into that.” To be real I don’t really know if she was into it or not. She wasn’t super enthusiastic but she didn’t tell me to stop. All in all, I’d chalk it down as a win. 

We don’t mean to shame you for anal-tastic fantasies, we respect the kink. But we are left with one ringing question: why?
