Sex lives are like pets: infinitely more interesting to their owners than to anyone else. Yet Lena Chen and her fascination with all things genitally-related are getting her notice once again. Gawker yesterday gleefully linked to a photo she posted more than a week ago showing the after-effects of a messy hummer on Lena's face (NSFW, duh). While Ms. Chen says in a later entry, "Stuff like that entry should be expected [in a......

The New York Times ran a story on college chastity clubs, with a focus on Janie Fredell of Harvard's True Love Revolution. As a counterpoint, the author interviewed Lena Chen, the Harvard student who wrote about her romantic escapades on Sex and the Ivy. In between when they interviewed her (November) and today's publication date, some jerk she used to date released nude photos of her, and she started cutting back on her blog. On......

Boudoir photography is normal. Boudoir photography being leaked to the masses is somewhat normal (thanks, Pam Anderson and Paris Hilton, for sharing). But Greater Boston's sex blogger, Lena Chen of Sex and the Ivy, is facing an unpleasant twist on the bedroom snapshot. A 35-year-old grad student Chen used to go out with has been spreading images of her on the web and buzzed IvyGate that he had nude photos of her. (FYI, Bostonist is......

H Bomb, the Harvard University sex magazine, vanished for reasons that had nothing to do with scabies. Last year, the people who ran H Bomb lost their status as an official student group. But ">Lingbo Li at the Crimson revealed this week that H Bomb is back in the school's good graces, and they will publish a new magazine on February 14. H Bomb only published two issues, but a new editor, Martha ‘Martabel’ Wasserman,......

Residents of Harvard's Pennypacker Hall had to apply insecticide cream, and their personal items were fumigated when three residents of the dorm were diagnosed with scabies last weekend. According to Lena Chen and IvyGate, word had been going around that Harvard's University Health Services had misdiagnosed the students and that they just got attacked by some especially bloodthirsty mosquitoes. If so, then the whole insecticide cream-fumigation hurrah was all for nothing. Bostonist tried to track......

Dan Savage Thursday, October 18, 8:00 pm The Heights Room, Boston College, Free More info. The ubiquitous sex columnist and friend of Colbert Dan Savage will offer advice at Boston College tomorrow. Lena Chen at Sex and the Ivy told us of the appearance and said she might be there herself. (Now that would be something if Chen and Savage were on a panel together!) Savage has popped up frequently in the Ist-a-Verse. Seattlest was......

Bostonist heard word from Lena Chen over at Sex and the Ivy that the party was over at Harvard - literally. The Crimson soon followed up with the announcement that Harvard was cutting students off from the "Party Grant Program." For those of you who didn't attend schools with "party grants," the Harvard Undergraduate Council used to get "thousands of dollars every week"--the Crimson's estimate--for parties. No wonder Harvard is bummed--thousands of dollars every week......

Grant Stoddard will read from Working Stiff at Harvard Book Store, 6:30 pm, Wednesday, February 7. A few days ago, we talked about Vendela Vida's day jobs as an editor and writing teacher. But Grant Stoddard has a day job worth talking about. He has sex all day. That's pretty much it. Then he writes about it. Grant Stoddard has done everything you can think of, and probably a few things you haven't thought of.......
