The Dirt on Dating

Alex Brockman, Feature Editor

April 4, 2019

Writing an article on Whitman’s Dating scene for the Wire I thought I knew what I would hear. As a second semester junior, I have seen a lot of discontent in some of my peers, myself included, in the options available in the Whitman and Walla Walla communities for dating.

Let's talk about sex. More specifically, let's talk about talking during sex.

Last Thursday, I was curling up on my couch with a nice glass of wine getting ready to start my Shonda Rhimes night with "Scandal" and "Grey's Anatomy" when it dawned on me that hey, I'm drinking a glass of red wine just like Olivia Pope–– she in an Armani suit with a 1991 bottle and me in sweatpants...

October 3, 2013

Moviegoers in Walla Walla hit the jackpot this weekend when several promising new movies were released. My choices were boiled down to porn versus drinking buddies, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's new comedy about porn addiction, "Don Jon," won. That's right, an R-rated kind of pornographic dramatic comedy entertained! "Don Jon" follows the day-to-...

Ugly, Awkward Virgins Deserve Sympathy, Not Ridicule

Spencer Wharton

March 28, 2013

I'm gonna be blunt: We've got to stop virgin-shaming. There's an unfortunate trend in our society to scorn virgins. If word gets out that you made it to voting age without ever touching another person's genitals, you're practically guaranteed a certain amount of derision. "Virgin" is tossed around like a slur, as if there'...
