Have you had a sexual escapade in the library? Stumbled upon students doing so in the library? Or somewhere more peculiar on campus?
Do dish.
I will say there were plenty of grad students who made use of the "privacy" of the library carrells. You couldn't see them but you could hear them. And later you heard about them.
Found students entertaining each other in one of the washrooms. It was actually visible through an outside window. I played spoilsport. 'Cuz I'm old and bitter.
That's great! I forgot about bathrooms -- I overheard someone in the handicapped stall way back when I was an undergrad. Instead of giving them privacy, I stomped to the door, opened and closed it, and the real moaning began. Then I laughed very loudly and left.
(I didn't get a lot EITHER place, to be fair.) But there was something about the smell of old paper that worked miracles on young, braless Philosophy majors.
I married a Business major, though, and just celebrated our 23rd anniversary. We've NEVER done it in a library, although we did break in my office when I first got my current job. Too much info?
Frankly, this whole subject is disgusting. In the library? Gross.
I'm no prude but this crosses the line. Faculty should not be bragging, confessing or encouraging this type of deviant library behavior. Totally inappropriate.
Please confine your sexual escapades to the research laboratories.
When I was a grad student, we had a flasher in the stacks of the library, which kind of put a damper on amorous activity. There was this weird alcove that had a wall covered in graffiti and beat poetry, though.

DeleteHee hee.
You're not allowed to fuck in the library unless you actually work there. At least that's what they told me.
ReplyDeleteI got more in the library than I got in my dorm.

Psychology majors, when I was in school in the 70s. Crazzy times. But the library? I, too, married a Business major.

This post reminds me of every single Medical Physics professor and grad student I've ever met.
DeleteA professor's office. Maybelle had a naughty streak.
ReplyDeleteI live up to my name.
ReplyDeleteThe roof of my freshman dorm. It was cold. The gravel was uncomfortable, and bits of asphalt got stuck in my hair.
ReplyDeleteBut I married a naturalist, and we've been in some spectacular deserted canyons . . .
It's always in the details. Gravel. That took my breath away.

ReplyDeleteI studied at the library and got my bizness done the regular way, in the volleyball bus.
ReplyDeleteMy son was conceived in my grad school office.
