Princeton University has become the latest Ivy League institution to host a club for students who seek to explore sexual desires that delve into bondage, domination, sadism and masochism, underscoring a larger trend found at many top-tier universities.

The student-led club, Princeton Plays, launched earlier this month after Princeton’s student government voted to officially recognize it. It joins Harvard’s “Munch,” Columbia’s “Conversio Virium” and Cornell’s “Crunch” clubs as active student BDSM groups in the Ivy League.

Several “Sex Week” campus events at various high-profile colleges over the years have also included workshops on the sexual subculture, which can include ropes, whips, blindfolds, flogging, master-servant role play and much more.

For example, the University of Chicago’s annual sex week observance typically includes a BDSM workshop. In 2014, a presentation there dubbed “Taste of Kink” gave students an opportunity to explore “sensations that can be generated by floggers, rope, electricity and more.” Likewise, in 2016, the university hosted a “sexual pain” workshop and BDSM tutorials. And earlier this year it hosted “Intro to rope bondage.”

Also earlier this year, at the University of Michigan, an “Ins and Outs of Kink” workshop included “introductory kink and BDSM concepts.” Workshops on BDSM at that university date back to at least 2014.

“Kinky Trojans” is the name of a BDSM club at the University of Southern California. Late last month, it hosted a meeting on “kinky toys of all kinds: impact, bondage, a bit of edge play, you name it,” according to its Facebook page.

Meanwhile, BDSM at the Ivy Leagues is in full swing.

In 2015, Harvard University hosted a workshop as part of its sex week titled “Work Hard, Fuck Hard: The Guide to BDSM in the College Dorm Room.” And just last month Harvard hosted a workshop called “Unleashed: Kink 101” as part of its sex week events.

Also last month at Columbia, its “Conversio Virium” student members were offered a “hands-on rope bondage” workshop, according to its website.

Cornell’s “Crunch” club meets Tuesdays, according to its website.

The newest Ivy League BDSM group, Princeton Plays, aims to “provide a safe space for students interested in non-traditional relationships” and “to promote values of sexual inclusivity and affirm that all types of safe and consensual activity between individuals is valid,” according to The Daily Princetonian, which reported on its launch earlier this month.

The Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Student has also recognized the group, which hopes to meet twice a month, The Princetonian reported. With that, the group will now have access to some funding from the student government and may reserve university rooms for their meetings.

The College Fix contacted the Princeton Undergraduate Student Government and Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Student via email to determine if the group would use university facilities for their BDSM activities. Neither replied to the emails.

Members of Princeton Plays said in The Princetonian that the group “hopes to provide a safe space for students interested in non-traditional relationships … to promote values of sexual inclusivity and affirm that all types of safe and consensual activity between individuals is valid.”

In an interview an anonymous member discussed how the group started: “Through conversation, we kinda realized that we wanted a space for this on campus, more than what was out here, which was nothing.”

The College Fix contacted Ivy Truong, who reported on the new club for The Princetonian, to see if she could convince members from Princeton Plays to comment on the group’s intentions. Truong replied that the group declined to offer comment to The Fix.

One has to wonder about the timing of this.

So I can come here and be tied up, gagged and whipped. And this is considered a "safe space"?

"He harassed me on the way to my bondage class!"

Good for them.

A great many relationship problems are borne of a partner who is boring in the bedroom.

Mix it up some, learn a few new tricks...

Perfect!

That is the schizophrenic state of academia. Anything goes, don't knock it if you haven't tried it, porn weekends, "sex workers" as campus speakers. And, at the same time, look at a girl "wrong," make an "inappropriate comment," and you will be expelled for sexual assault.

Just bound and determined to be a spectacle...

Just prepping them for the beatings and screwings they’ll endure in life.

Sticks and stones,
may break my bones,
but whips and chains
excite me!

And a BDSM college credit will just fit right in to your resume when job hunting!

I wonder what the male to female ratio will be. Ten to one?

Or so society seems to tell us this and we are fooled into believing it. Been married 27 years and never had a problem that would have been solved by that.

Mandatory sexual assault training?

Is it any wonder why our Princeton, Harvard, Yale, etc grads in Congress are grabbing ass all over capital hill and wondering what the problem with their behavior is. Maybe, just maybe, it has to do with a complete lack of morality. College, regardless the school, has become a joke.

I took courses in math, physics, chemistry, history, economics, English, German, etc.

Where in the hell do they come up with this shit?

Somebody on this form asked, "Where are we going, and why am I in this basket?"

If you can't join them, beat them?

Been married, to the same woman, for SIXTY YEARS! next May.

Never seemed to have a problem that came within a couple of light years of this BS so-called academia.

I graduated from Univ. of MD back in 1977 after 4 years of intense study of meaningful courses, working 60+ hours a week.

In my last semester another veteran student/buddy told me about that "easy A" class. Our of curiosity, I asked him what it was. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF DEATH!

Told him I was already a "A" student, didn't need some would be teacher to tell me about death. I saw enough of it in the army.

These so-called schools today are nothing but indoctrination centers, determined to destroy our Democratic Republic.

And, the sad part, they are succeeding.

I heard someone being interviewed the other day about this and the current sexual harassment scandals. His take, and I tend to agree, was to ask, "Is it any wonder why we are where we are?".

Kids and adults have been being taught, or rather...indoctrinated, for the past 50 years (and kicked into high gear in the 90s thanks to BJ Clinton) that sex is nothing but recreation and all one needs is a willing partner. We are now swimming in a sea of immorality (both sexual and otherwise) and it should come as no surprise to anyone.

"If it feels good, do it man". Damn the consequences.

It's an extracurricular club. I'd put more energy into bitching about their educational curriculum and all the BS they stuff into that.
