About 50 UNM students stood outside in the cold on Wednesday to circulate a petition describing their grievances with the UNM the-ater department.
Student Morgan Harris was among the protestors in front of Popejoy. She said the protest ended Wednesday afternoon when James Linnell, dean of the College of Fine Arts, agreed to set up a meeting with the students.
In the petition, students com-plained about safety and some fac-ulty members’ treatment of stu-dents in the department.
“We want to address respect for students, because there have been degrading comments to students,” said Katy Bowen, co-organizer of the protest. “We want to address re-gard for student safety. Regard for student safety is a large one.”
Harris said the students also planned a performance art piece to signify their lack of input in the the-ater program.
“For part of the morning, we all had tape over our mouths, to say we don’t have voices,” she said. “But it’s hard to say ‘Come sign this pe-tition. Here’s what it’s about.’ when you have tape over your mouth.”
Bowen said the complaints in the petition address department
chair William Liotta and associate professor Bill Walters. She said one petition asked students to describe complaints they have against Walters.
“We decided that we would gather the voices of all the students. Just throw away the rumors. Find out what people are actually up-set about, what they actually want changed and then bring it back to them and then maybe they’ll listen to us,” she said.
Liotta said many of the com-plaints against the department were unfounded. He said the stu-dents may have had trouble adjust-ing to the addition of new profes-sors to the program.
“There’s been a turnover of most of our faculty,” Liotta said. “The people that have come in to replace our retiring faculty are more pro-fessional. They have more interna-tional affiliations than the previous faculty, so they have different stan-dards, if that makes sense. So that’s part of it.”
Student Leonard Hughes said students have tried to voice their concerns in the past, but the facul-ty didn’t listen.
“I think that for most of the se-mester there have been a number of people that have gone personally to the professor or to the chair,” he said.
Liotta said students met with
him on Monday, but he didn’t re-alize that they were planning a protest.
“There’s obviously a communi-cation lapse here,” he said. “They never told me the seriousness of it. They had several concerns that they laid out, but that was it.”
Liotta said the students told him they were concerned about what they perceived as Liotta’s negative attitude, and they also raised ques-tions of student safety.
“One of the biggest beefs that the students have with me is that they say I’m negative,” Liotta said. “But I’m not negative, I’m a realist. I know what it takes to succeed in the business, because I’ve been do-ing it a long time.”
Liotta said safety issues are not a problem.
“They brought up one thing about students slipping for one of the shows, but that just came up and it was dealt with immediately before the second performance,” he said.
Harris said students were glad to be meet with Linnell.
“He seemed really positive about what we had to say, and he set up a meeting with a few of us,” she said. “This is certainly what we wanted. We wanted some attention to be paid and we wanted to be lis-tened to, and I think this is the be-ginning of that.”

The Provost’s Office is teaming up with the Board of Regents and Uni-versity College to streamline advise-ment all across campus.
At Wednesday’s meeting of the Regents’ Student Affairs Committee, representatives from the three groups outlined their plans to make UNM’s advisement more efficient.
The student-to-adviser ratio in the University College is 770 to 1.
Wynn Goering, vice provost for Ac-ademic Affairs, said UNM is updating advisement software and consolidat-ing advisement centers into a central-ized advisement center. He said plans to remodel the Student Services Cen-ter are in the works, which will create a unified advising area for the College of Arts and Sciences and the Univer-sity College.
“We have a highly complex system that we have to deal with,” he said at the meeting. “We know that we need increased access to advising and we want to do a better job of advising. We want to make sure that it is accu-rate 100 percent of the time. We want to make sure that it is consistent as students move from department to department.”
He said going to different places for advisement can confuse students, especially when advisers provide in-consistent information.
Student Morgan Matthew said she is frustrated with UNM’s advisement system.
“I had to go to so many different people in different departments who all told me different things,” she said. “They didn’t seem to agree on any-thing, which is confusing.”
The E-Progress audit program ad-visers use is a major source of advise-ment problems, said Henry Gonza-lez, UNM program specialist. He said he was involved in acquiring the $2.4 million Title Five grant that is funding advisement reorganization.
“E-Progress is outdated software,” he said. “It is approximately 15 years old. It is difficult to read, confusing and provides no way for students to plan with it.”
The new software program, Ad-visorTrac, will work with LoboTrax, which will replace the E-Progress re-port. AdvisorTrac would ensure that advisers can communicate and ac-cess the same information for each student, said Annette Torres, senior degree audit analyst.
“Any time a student or adviser clicks on a particular area, it opens up a more detailed view,” she said. “It gives students the ability to click on courses that they need for graduation and allows them to add (the classes) into the course planner so that advis-ers can see what they are planning to take in the future.”
The integration of the various ad-visement centers into a single physi-cal space will clarify the advisement process for students, Goering said.
“About 2/3 of students will be walk-ing to the same building to get their advising,” he said. “It will be a build-ing, not an organizational chart.”
The renovation of the Student Ser-vices Center is slated to begin in No-vember, Goering said. At the same time, the department will be structur-ally remodeled.
“It will be more like a manage-ment group with a bunch of different units in different divisions doing dif-ferent things,” he said. “They are all important to the success of the Uni-versity and have diverse tasks. But, at the particular mission of advising stu-dents, they all have to work from the same playbook and do things in simi-lar ways in order to accomplish their mission.”
Matthew said she supports both the creation of a central advisement building and sharing information be-tween various departments.
“It is a little hectic trying to fig-ure out where to go between dif-ferent open hours for different col-leges,” she said. “They need to have better communication between the departments.”
The University’s ultimate goal is to ensure student success, Goering said, and advisement is an important com-ponent in that effort.
“Advising is not primarily about getting students to graduate,” he said. “It is about putting students on a path to get where they want to go in life.”

Daily Lobo asks you: “What do you think of the quality of advisement in University College?”
“I think sometimes you get good information, and sometimes they give you wrong information, and you’ll end up signing up for the wrong class … If you talk to different advisers around campus, they all give you different information.”
Gloria ThomasJunior
Emergency Medical Services
“For the most part it’s good, but every once in a while they’ll advise you to take a class that isn’t really necessary. It doesn’t really help you in any way to achieve your goals or get into the major you want to be in, and it’s a waste of money.”
Monica MartinezSophomore
Business Management
“I have only been there once before, but they got me on the right track for the classes I needed to get going.”
Sean BilberrySophomore

“They kind of need more funding everywhere. If they have to cut funding, I think for the renovations. Some of the halls need renovations, like Mitchell Hall, but I think they should put if off for a couple of years.”

Teenager suspected offatally stabbing his brother
by Brian SkoloffThe Associated Press
CORAL SPRINGS, Fla.— Two teenage brothers were home alone in their suburban neighborhood when an argument over loud music spiraled out of control, police said, leaving one brother dead from a knife to the chest and the other ac-cused of killing him.
William Gorzynski, 15, was be-ing held in juvenile custody on sus-picion of second-degree murder in the Monday afternoon death of 14-year-old Matthew Gorzynski.
According to police in Coral Springs, about 45 miles north of Miami, Matthew was playing music on a home computer. William was watching television nearby and complained the volume was too loud. He told him to turn it down. Matthew refused. The two yelled at each other, then fought.
Then William went to the kitch-en, grabbed a 7-inch knife and stabbed his brother in the upper left chest, Sgt. Joe McHugh said.
William called 911 soon after and told the dispatcher he had just stabbed his brother.
“It’s actually a confession on tape,” McHugh said. “He’s actually describing what occurred. This was definitely not accidental.”
McHugh said the tape won’t be released publicly because it’s con-sidered evidence.
Gorzynski’s attorney, Glenn Roderman, said William is in disbelief.
“I don’t think he even believes it happened,” Roderman told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Roderman did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press.
“It’s something he can’t even fathom,” Roderman told the news-paper. “This is a very beautiful and wonderful family. They can’t even
believe it happened.”He said they “fought like every
other brothers do, but they don’t fight in an unusual way.”
The Florida Department of Chil-dren and Families has had “prior involvement” with the family and was reviewing its investigation, but would not comment further, said spokeswoman Elisa Cramer.
According to the police report, officers responded and smelled an “overwhelming odor of marijuana” inside the home. The report said the younger boy was “lying on the floor of the bedroom near a stain of blood that soaked into the carpet.”
The older brother “spontane-ously uttered, ‘It was an accident, is he going to be OK?’”
The boy told police “he acciden-tally stabbed Matthew and later placed the knife back into the knife block.”
The 14-year-old died about an hour later at a nearby hospital.
Prosecutors said no decision has been made on whether the teen will be charged as a juvenile or adult, and no formal charges have been filed yet.
No one answered the door at the family’s single-story home in a tidy, neatly groomed neighborhood on Wednesday. The boys lived there with their other brother, Timothy, 19, and their single father, Thomas.
“Don’t come up on my prop-erty,” a teenager yelled from the home’s front yard.
Outside the home, a makeshift memorial formed of stuffed ani-mals, candles and balloons left by neighbors and friends. William and Matthew were typical broth-ers, they said. They skateboarded together, rode bikes, played in the neighborhood and attended the same nearby high school.
A.J. Wood, 16, left his skate-board deck at the memorial. He wrote on the board: “Ride the sky, Matt. RIP.”

Editor,I am new here in Albuquerque and I
would like to meet some students that have
radical ideas. I thought that I would meet plenty of vegetarian/vegans, anarchists, communists, freegans and people that are not conforming to conventional thinking and like to discuss social issues. I haven’t met many people that are directly help-ing the community or care about global
problems. Is there a group of people here in Albuquerque that is not sedated by constant crap and looking to passionately advocate a peaceful existence for all living beings?

Editor,I am a history professor who teaches
courses on Middle East, South Asia and Is-lam. In Tuesday’s Lobo, Muhajir Salam al-leged bias against Islam in unnamed cours-es he is taking this semester that relate to Islam. I am not teaching this semester and I am not aware of any courses on Islam be-ing offered. Would you please identify what
courses, instructors and content are the source of the complaint?
Patricia RissoUNM faculty
Editor,This is a response to Peter Zeikus’ letter,
“Weh, not Denish, will stand up for hard-working New Mexicans,” that posted Tues-day on Dailylobo.com.
First, I don’t think it’s fair to call the current government “her administration.” Second, I don’t see what link Peter is try-ing to draw in preventing state layoffs and unemployment. Is he trying to suggest the best solution to address nationwide unem-ployment is to create more unemployment? Third, Allen Weh is the better candidate be-cause he knows how to run a business? Is Pe-ter arguing that our elected officials and gov-ernment should pursue profit as the highest ideal? Weh claims that the way to create jobs is to cut taxes and regulations. Interestingly enough, the overwhelming majority of econ-omists think lack of regulation was one of the main reasons we are in this economic mess. In New Mexico, we cut income taxes in 2005 to one of the lowest rates in the nation. In fact, the revenue shortfall for this year is almost exactly the amount lost from 2005 tax cuts. Peter is a registered Republican but his ideas are unoriginal and unimagi-native. He has a right to support whom-ever he chooses for governor, but if he wishes to sway others to his view I would suggest making a more informed argument. Diane Denish believes in a government that is accountable to the people. She wants to include all parties and interests in the gov-erning process and craft a consensus for the collective good. She ran a small business early in her career and is the chair of the Small Business Council. She campaigns on her ideas and their strengths and refuses to demonize her opponents. For these reasons and many more, I will be supporting her for governor of New Mexico.

Editor,Over the last year or so, there has been a lot
of finger pointing as to what caused the housing and ultimately the financial crisis.
Many partisan pundits claim that banks were forced to make bad loans to people who could not afford to repay them, a veiled refer-ence to the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act. This argument has no industry supported or empirical basis whatsoever and many of the pundits making this claim possess no real estate or finance expertise; approaching it as a purely partisan manner, in which they claim nefarious shakedowns by ACORN and the Clinton White House, even though no objective evidence has been presented to support that claim. The only place such claims are sourced are neo-conser-vative and right wing bulletins — National Re-view, Fox, Michelle Malkin, et al.
The original act in 1977 required federally insured banks to make loans in the commu-nities they operated in; to combat discrimina-tion in lending based on race or geography, called redlining. Banks could still reject appli-cations but the rejections had to be based on objective factors such as credit, income, etc. A statement in December 2008 by Federal Re-serve Governor Randall Kroszner stated that the CRA in no way contributed in any substan-tial manner to the crisis and at maximum, less than 10 percent of lenders that fall under CRA regulations issued sub-prime loans. Another federal data study illustrated that 84 percent of sub-prime loans were issued by non-regulat-ed mortgage lenders and 83 percent of debts were held by private, non-CRA regulated enti-ties. Kroszner happens to be a disciple of Milton
Friedman’s Chicago School of Economics, which is a very conservative/libertarian eco-nomic position.
Sheila Blair, the FDIC chair and a Republi-can also claimed that this “banks were forced into bad decisions” meme is a distortion.
The basic definition of a sub-prime loan in this case is a loan that is made without regard to the borrower’s actual income; allowing borrow-er to “state” their income without any support-ing documents — W2, pay stub, etc. Other loans allowed for bad or shaky credit but the main component was the stated or NINJA (No In-come, No Job, No Assets) loans.
A report by Lending Patterns, published in Real Estate Magazine on July 24, 2008 showed that in 2006, 71 percent of sub-prime loans were issued to non-Hispanic Whites; 40 percent were to middle- and upper-income borrowers. While there are many factors that drove this crisis, I would lay the blame more on deregu-lation by both Bill Clinton and George Bush; greed and a desire by banks and investment houses to take advantage of the new loan op-tions available; and, economic circumstance. In 1999, Clinton signed Gramm-Leach, a bill that repealed the 1930s Glass-Steagull Act. The new bill allowed the mixing of investment banking with commercial banking, which set the stage for derivatives, swaps and sub-prime loans. Clinton also signed a bill deregulating commodities trad-ing, which further added to current situation. When Bush took office, he pursued even fur-ther deregulation through weakening stan-dards. His administration actually weakened CRA enforcement standards. His “compassion-ate conservatism” was encouraging the private sector to accomplish social goals. He failed to grasp that the private sector responds to profit, not social justice. While he signed the Ameri-can Dream Downpayment Act to increase
home ownership and had HUD encourage Fan-nie Mae and Freddie Mac to act to achieve this goal, he did not have the political will to cre-ate a strong enforcement mechanism to insure first time homeowners were not getting the shaft; opting to let markets resolve such issues. However, lenders such as the now defunct New Century knew that they would sell off the loans to Wall Street shortly after closing and felt that the risk would simply be passed on to someone else and therefore no bother. The argument that the CRA caused the crisis is mainly a GOP/right wing pundit talking point. While both Clinton and Bush used the CRA as a point for liberalizing capital, it was simply part of their toolbox for deregulation and allowing banks and financial institutions to run wild. Both embraced the free flow of capital, though Clin-ton had more inclinations towards some regu-lation and enforcement. Both had officials with ties to Wall Street (Robert Rubin, Larry Sum-mers, Henry Paulson) in their administrations. The crisis was the result of poor regulation, en-forcement, greed and a desire to allow financial institutions to pursue areas outside of their core missions. Add in speculation, the movement of capital from securities to real estate following the dot com bust and the 9/11 attacks and the invention of stated income, stated asset loans for would be real estate investors and bud-ding real estate millionaires and we had a toxic soup which we are trying to purge ourselves of. So, the next time some blowhard tries to say the CRA caused the crisis, they are simply grasping at straws. That is all they have. But, maybe if they find enough straws, they can put the broom together.

Having retired from one job, Dale Ervin now spends his life doing what he loves: terrifying people.
“Scaring people is an awful lot of fun,” said the owner and head op-erator of Albuquerque’s two largest haunted houses — Primitive Fear and 13th Street Manor.
Both houses are drawing frights from attendees said event goer Te-resa Lundy.
“You can’t see anything, and the people follow you,” she said. “That’s scary. That creeps me out.”
Participants can pay $14 for each event or $25 to see both. While the prices are steep, Lundy said it is well worth it.
“It’s Halloween, you’re sup-posed to be scared,” she said.
Ervin said both houses have a distinct feel and atmosphere for those with different tastes in frights. Primitive Fear’s back-story has the participant searching for a Nobel Peace Prize laureate through an Amazonian jungle. The haunted house is decorated with a realistic environment complete with recre-ations of tall trees, boggy swamps and inhuman creatures roaming around the jungle. The house-go-er gropes his way through the dark passages.
“This one is really dark,” Ervin said. “It’s just in your face scared and then it’s gone. Mainly, you’re moving on before the scare is done. It’s human nature, you get scared you take off.”
The 13th Street Manor favors a more thematic approach to horror rather than the “jump and out, and grab you fear” of Primitive Fear, Ervin said. In the manor, the par-ticipants are exploring a haunted house that people often enter but seldom leave. The set constructions
Albuquerque scream spots leave grown men in tears
Are you scared yet?

are better than those at Primitive Fear, with an elaborate plaza that feels like the outside of a manor. The inside of the house is lit with smoky red lighting which serves to better illuminate the abandoned house and the deformed people wandering about.
“We actually hired a special ef-fects company to redo the sets this year,” Ervin said. “We hired profes-sional actors this year. Over there they are naturally going to scare you, but then they are going to have a dialogue with you. ”
The story for either house takes a backseat once the guests enter the house, and the primary focus be-comes terrifying the visitors. Primi-tive Fear shocks the house-goers every minute or two with hard and fast scares, while 13th Street Man-or, relies less on hard and instead fills the guest with a sense of utter dread and confusion by the end of the trip Ervin said.
It should be noted, people have to want to be scared to enjoy either house. After a while, the event-goer learns when to expect scares, but
this knowledge does not have to ruin the experience, Ervin said.
“Some people come saying, ‘You’re not going to scare me,’” he said. “And if you come in with that attitude you’re probably right. We’re probably not going to scare you. Some people, I don’t know why, they just enjoy getting scared.”
Each trip through either of the houses lasts about 12 minutes, but can take longer depending on how frightened the guest might be, Er-vin said. Some visitors complain about the shortness of the trip, but
Ervin said the experience inside the house is worth it.
“You’re live in the experience,” he said. “In that respect it’s better than a movie, but it’s not as long as a movie, so that’s the downside of it. That exhilaration that you feel when you come out stays with you a long time.”
All the actors in both houses give what little time is allotted to thoroughly scare each visitor. Er-vin said it’s through the collec-tive love of scaring people that the houses do so well.
“It’s just unbelievable what some people can do,” he said. “You’ll take guys bigger than me, 6’4’’ 6’5’’ 250, 280 pounds and you just put ‘em down on the ground — just terrified. Or they take their kids or their wives and shove them out in front of (the creatures), or just take off running, and run through a wall.”
And the customers love them too. Guests burst from the ex-its screaming one second and the next they are laughing. Isaiah Montano, visitor at Primitive Fear, said it’s fun to be scared.
“It’s the rush of being scared and knowing you’ll still be fine,” he said. “It’s just a little excitement in your night.”

TO EVALUATE A NEW SOFTWARE PROGRAM
more information is available atbehaviortherapy.com/collegedrinkers.htm
by Candace HsuDaily Lobo
Garrett Briggs, a senior and ar-cheology major, is giving Albuquer-que a whole new way to celebrate Halloween.
Briggs worked for about six months to create a Halloween hip-hop show, “From Dusk till Dawn,” which will be on Halloween night at Black Market Goods in Nob Hill. Six East Coast hip-hop artists will perform in the show.
“The show is supposed to be just a lot of fun with some unexpected turns,” Briggs said.
The artists performing include Victorious, Wisemen: Kevlaar 7 and Bronze Nazareth, Nigel Prime, Ue-phoric and DJ Jimi B. This is the first time any of the artists have performed in New Mexico, Briggs said.
DJ Jimi B, one of the artists per-forming, has been a DJ for 20 years and also works with the group Gov-ernment Cheese.
“This will be the first show Garrett and I will be doing together,” DJ Jimi said. “I work with all types of music but I usually use the hip-hop tech-niques. DJ work caught my interest when the original hip-hop exploded in the late 80s. The idea of manip-ulating sounds really appealed to me. It was modern and really excit-ing. Being a musician, I find that the sampling and techniques of DJ work is most addicting. The art form of being a DJ encompasses so much.”
The purpose of the show is for ev-eryone to have fun while participat-ing in something different, Briggs said. Since the show will be on Hal-loween, the audience is encouraged to dress up. A $100 prize will be awarded for the best male, female and couple categories, Briggs said.
Briggs said his previous experi-ences with the featured artists gave him the inspiration to put on the show.
“I want to give the artists their
chance to show themselves,” he said. “I have worked with them and know that they are really hard-work-ing individuals. They deserve this opportunity.”
The show is available for all ages, but is geared toward ages 18 to 25, Briggs said.
He said this show will display the cultural diversity of Albuquerque and its dedicated hip-hop followers.
“Hip-hop is universal,” Briggs said. “A lot of artists are now expanding and even using different languages in their songs. It’s neat to see the power of mu-sic. Music brings cultures together.”
Briggs said he wants to celebrate the changing seasons. The show also gives the audience an opportunity to dress up and be a someone different for a night, he said.
Briggs said he met the artists through his brother-in-law.
“My brother-in-law makes beats, and has always had a love for music,” Briggs said.
Victorious, an artist in the show, said he is originally from Brooklyn, N.Y. and lives in Virginia.
“I love the art form that hip-hop offers,” Victorious said. “I first got in-terested while watching others make history (and) while bringing in some new things to music. I started writing and trying out all the aspects. I really enjoyed it.”
The audience can meet-and-greet the artists for the show Friday at L.A. Underground from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are available at L.A. Under-ground and at the event for $15.

I’ve nearly lost count of how many guys I haven’t slept with.
First, there was Edward James Henderson, Jr., who came from a fine family but preferred to stuff his trust fund in the end of a pipe. Not only was he the first man I’d seen do the wake-and-bake, he was also six years my senior and the former housemate of my best friend Erica. Ed let us stay at his mansion one Friday when we ditched class, and after a long night of drinking too much and smoking more, I ended up in Ed’s bed with increasingly less clothing when he said, “Your curves are so perfect, like only Ra-phael could have imagined,” (A fat cherub? What?) and, of course, the timeless, “Your skin is so soft” (Thanks, cheap moisturizing body wash does wonders) — But oh, then came the line, the one line all women want to hear: “I just want to make you feel good.”
Well, I’d told Ed I was a virgin and had to stay that way. I was saving it for marriage. Before any fluids of any kind were shared, he had agreed that the panties would not come off. So, on that prime oc-casion, I said “No” (and have rath-er whole-heartedly regretted it since).
After Edward James Hender-son, Jr., there was the fantastical-ly well-built but unfortunately shy what-was-his-name (our first date was at a pizza place, vegetarian pizza to share — Oh, haha, so glad you’re a vegetarian, too, Yes isn’t it nice to try new things now that we’re away from home, Dr. Black inspired me to do it, Me, too! What a coincidence — but what was his name?). Terrible kisser. All closed mouth and teeth like a brick wall even when he was feeling me up. Honestly, a man ought to know better. Watch at least one roman-tic comedy for every three pornos and you’re more likely to get some action, guys.
Third was Chris, the man who was more than 10 years older than me and worked in the cafeteria on campus. His girlfriend was a senior, but he made himself very popular with us freshmen, either by seem-ing the charming, debonair gen-tleman; the caring big brother; or the mysterious, just-out-of-reach older man. He became what-ever the situation and young la-dies called for. On one of my first mornings leaving the omelet line, I was a bit sleepy and tripped and dropped my tray in front of every-one. Chris walked right up and lift-ed me by the elbow, asked if I was OK, and brought me a new tray. He befriended my roommates as well and made frequent visits to our dorm to hang out before his shift. Then one night he convinced me to go for a drive and shotgun till the world wasn’t real. He then kissed me oh-so-sweetly on the bed in a trashy motel on the edge of town (how did I end up there?). It was only because of my plain-tive whimpering for mercy that he didn’t take me. He told me so.
The stories don’t end there, and they certainly get happier, dear readers, but I think three almosts is enough to leave you with this week.
As a parting gift, I offer some simple wisdom to both sexes,
based on my first three would-have-been encounters, and will probably be most useful to those of you in a comparable place.
Girls:Don’t take your bra off un-
til you’re comfortable enough to lose the panties, too. First of all, it’ll drive him crazy to go halfway, and once he’s crazy he’ll either be unable to stop or resent you a bit for making him stop. Second, when a man gets attached to your breasts, you get attached to him. There’s science behind this: oxyto-cin, the same hormone that makes you love your infant even after the long, painful labor, also encourag-es bonding with your sexual part-ner. Look it up.
Don’t drink or do drugs with a guy because you think he’s cool and you’re just friends. It might be fun to relax sometimes, but real-ly, when you let your guard down, anything can happen. And it usu-ally isn’t good.
Do have fun with men your own age. As the age gap widens, his route to in-your-pants gets shorter. Older guys have had more time to practice their tricks, and don’t take this the wrong way, but they prob-ably aren’t looking for anything long-term with you.
Do consider the reasons why you are or aren’t ready. Write them down. See if they’re still true tomorrow, in a week or only on Sundays.
Boys:Don’t start trying to remove
any pieces of clothing if you’ve been told you’ll have to stop some-where. Better to practice your kiss-ing skills.
Don’t even consider plying her with alcohol to get into bed. Re-member that if she’s had a couple of drinks, you could be held re-sponsible if she regrets it later.
Do stay sober enough that you don’t lose self-control. Also, con-sider that you sound stupider, your reflexes are slow, and your sensa-tions are dulled when you’ve had too much.
Do realize that if you’re charm-ing, you’re more likely to have sex with the girl when she’s ready. To this end, think of nice things to say — not pick-up lines, but what you might say just before getting between the sheets. You don’t want to still be operating on trial-and-error when things are getting steamy.
Do consider whether you real-ly want this girl to get attached to you. Once you’ve done the deed, it’ll be hard to get rid of her, even if you make her angry. Unless she’s mature enough to have sex just for the fun of having sex. And let’s be honest, if that’s the case, she prob-ably doesn’t want to be having it with you.
