Boink

Boink was a magazine of erotica started by Alecia Oleyourryk, a magazine journalism student at Boston University, and the photographer Christopher Anderson. The magazine was also educational in scope and purpose. The first issue was released in February 2005 and was celebrated with an opening party at the Roxy, a nightclub in the Boston Theater District.[1]

Background

The magazine was available in both a print and online digital versions. Boink catered to both men and women with articles dealing with sexuality in college life. All models were students from area colleges and of various sexual orientations.[2]

In 2008, a book based on the magazine was published by Warner Books, titled BOINK: College Sex by the People Having It.[3][4]

By 2010, the magazine had ceased publishing new issues, although the book can still be purchased online.[5]

"The reason that I like this magazine is that you can tell they are real college students... not those fake college students you find on the Internet." -- Howard Stern (BU alumnus)[6] [7]

gollark: I didn't say that that produces *good* outcomes for people involved.
gollark: Apparently the (or at least a) reason for this problem is that a degree works as a proxy for some minimum standard at stuff like being able to consistently do sometimes-boring things for 4 years, remember information and do things with it, and manage to go to class on time. So it's useful information regardless of whether the employer actually needs your specialized knowledge at all (in many cases, they apparently do not). And they're increasingly common, so *not* having one is an increasing red flag - you may have some sort of objection to the requirement for them, but that can't be distinguished from you just not being able to get one.
gollark: The solution, clearly, is to ban asking people if they have degrees when hiring, and force them to be tested on other things instead.
gollark: That wouldn't destroy it.
gollark: The most feasible way would probably be to deorbit the earth with MANY mass drivers.
