'Explain why you are having one night stands rather then looking for a relationship (is it because you're so busy studying you can't maintain a relationship, does it make you feel good about yourself etc). This bit needs to be anecdote heavy! Tell us about the different men you’ve slept with (like the Rugby Blue). Where do you meet these men?
Why did you decide to write the blog? There's been a trend for confessional blogging recently, with Belle du Jour and 'Girl With A One Track Mind'. Do you think we really need another sexcapades blog?
Did you expect it to be so controversial? You’ve been called a ‘closet nympho’ has this been exaggerated?
Do you feel, in this day and age, as a women sleeping around still carries a stigma. Do you feel people have higher expectations of you because you’re an academic – like there’s this strange idea you can’t be intelligent and enjoy sex!
Do you think you’d be treated differently if you were a man writing a blog? Or an average girl who isn’t at Oxbridge (are Oxbridge students expected to behave differently?). Would it be so controversial?
When was the first time you heard someone else mention the ‘Oxbridge blogger’. Did one of your friend mention they’d read ‘this blog’. Do your friends have any idea it’s you? How did you feel when your blog made headline news?
What lengths are you going to keep your identity a secret? Are you worried about your identity being found out by your family and friends? Or any of the men recognising you?'
It's interesting what words people get caught up with. 'Nympho' 'Taboo' 'Blues' ... it's just semantics. Sex isn't terribly taboo, no. When writing the below there was an added sense of hyperbole due to the prompts and assignment set in front of me. In typical student fashion, I even emailed the editor at Grazia about five minutes before the deadline for the article promising that I was almost done and that I would have it to her asap. I was juggling two other essays at the time. I've read over it a couple times since ... a bit wordy really. At least it included two stories about sex ... their article conveniently left those out.
As I approach exams I find myself with less and less time to go out on weekends ... but luckily I know a couple boys who like to stay in as well. No lack of blog stories here. Now to decide which to write about next.
