We caught up with some athletes pursuing a degree in kinesiology for this edition of the T-Birds 5-on-5. These are the people you see on Imagine Day decked out in bright green and likely are the fittest group of people you will ever meet.

We've put together a stimulating supplement on sex, sexuality and relationships for university students. Features include the science of sex, adventures with Tinder and a writer's flirtation with the the world of kink.
Besides the obvious, “Oh my god, is this really happening right now?” running monologue, what really happens in our brains during sex? A complex response of electrical signals and hormones deliver to us those sensations of pleasure.
It was that total fluke which landed Brotto in her current field of work, but she is now considered one of the pre-eminent experts on female arousal dysfunction, specifically focusing on the psychological factors that cause this dysfunction.
I arrived to university a very sexually unaware 19-year-old. However, as a science student at heart, I found explanations in a scientific journal, Clinical Anatomy. Exploring romantic love, on the other hand, has produced fewer concrete answers.
I expected my environment to be consent-heavy and accepting: a place where events that would distract from a normal party — say, somebody stripping to their skivvies and getting smacked around for a bit — were not only commonplace, but encouraged.
These perspectives are from those around campus who felt comfortable sharing their thoughts on their positionality. These perspectives were open-ended to the authors and those who wrote volunteered what they felt was pertinent to be shared.
In typical western culture, Valentine's Day is often celebrated by exchanging chocolates, flowers and other objects of affection. Other parts of the world celebrate romantic love — or the lack thereof — as well, but in starkly different ways.
Look at my Tinder profile. I’m a fun-loving, confident, witty, charming and adorable 21 year-old, or that’s what I’ll have you believe. I didn’t write anything in my bio — I don’t want to look like the keen one.
UBC offers a variety of services related to sexual health, including counselling, medical assistance and informative resources, and a number of groups are here to represent and offer support related so gender and sexuality.
Here’s a scenario: it’s 2 a.m., you’re on campus with your significant other and you want to get intimate. If you’re in residence, your situation is easy. But if a bed is a lengthy commute away, you are gonna have to find somewhere private.
Sexual activity is fraught with misconceptions that can get in the way of a safe and pleasurable time. But with two common sex myths — one surrounding virginity, the other about multiple orgasms — you can enjoy better, more informed, sexy times.
"He’s the happiest person I know. I really admire that as I have a habit of dwelling on the little things while he sees the good in almost every situation. I can’t tell you how many times he’s woken me up by laughing in his sleep."
Besides the obvious, “Oh my god, is this really happening right now?” running monologue, what really happens in our brains during sex? An complex response of electrical signals and hormones deliver to us those sensations of pleasure.
We understand that UBC is under financial pressure and we appreciate the university’s need to make efficient use of its funds. Similarly, we want you to understand that we students are under financial pressure.
