Your ideal sex spot is a classroom above Memorial Hall. Quiet, private, and with ample space to study, these hidden rooms above Annenberg will give you the security to experiment. Just be careful for the wandering eyes of freshmen eating down below.

19-25

Your ideal sex spot is the SOCH. Open to all, the SOCH is the perfect place to begin trying out exhibitionism. You’ll be practicing in public, but don’t worry about being caught—who goes to the SOCH anyways? Take advantage of the new furniture on the first floor. It’s never been used before!

26-32

Check out the Harvard Community Garden. Embrace the fertility of the landscape and its delightful aromas. Just watch out for poison ivy and don’t mistake your partner for the scarecrow. Straw is rough.

33-40

Woah there, cowboy. You’re already a pro. The only thing left to do is make it a threesome with John Harvard. He’s always hard and ready to go, but do expect an audience.
