<p>Does anyone know anything about the two events I keep hearing about, Safer Sex Night, and Drag Ball.
I hear its a lot of fun, but I really know nothing about it. Some sites list them as "satanic orgies", and other's list them as a "great, interesting and fun experience" but that really doesn't explain to me what they are at all. If anyone has any info concerning those two events, that would be great.

<p>In the spring, Oberlin hosts another equally popular on-campus sex party called the Drag Ball, which is organized by students and faculty. Drag Ball is the final event at the end of the schools annual Transgender Awareness Week, an event created to celebrate Oberlin Colleges queer community. It is the culmination of a week of talks and film screenings to celebrate the experiences of transgender, transsexual, intersex and other gender-variant people.</p>
<p>As its name would imply, students are encouraged to cross dress for the Drag Ball party. Others will attend simply baring their Birthday Suit, the Oberlin Review reports.</p>
<p>-Says one.</p>
<p>Another says:</p>
<p>Drag Ball is "the social event of the year" at Oberlin College. Originally the Lesbutant Ball, organized by lgbt activists, Drag Ball is now a corporate web-cast venue for the timid heterosexuals to showcase their bed death and tepid understanding of non-traditional genders and sex. The Drag Ball is held in the Student Union and is sponsored by Oberlin College. What used to be a celebration of gender**** and 'subversive' lifestyles is now a bunch of really drunk straight boys running around in their girlfriends' dresses.</p>
<p>In recent years, members of the queer community at Oberlin have begun to boycott Drag Ball, recognizing it as the commercialized, misappropriated sham that it is.</p>
<p>and that's aproved by the school??????</p>
<p>hahaha! it's oberlin, of course!</p>
<p>safer sex night isnt as scandelous as it appears to be, at least now. they've had to cut down on a lot of things, like the tent of consent, it basically is a giant dance party where people are wearing nipple tape and thongs. i feel like its more of a freshman sophomore thing. to me, it was built up to be a bigger deal than it actually was, nonetheless it was a good time. definately go at least once. also if you havent you should google search this right winged radical article about safer sex night and about how oberlin is americas living hell or soemthing, its entertaining.</p>
<p>My mom is a prof at Oberlin...she was a judge at Drag Ball and one time I went. It wasn't that crazy.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Safer Sex Night doesn't let in anyone but OC students, so I couldn't go to that.</p>
