Hello!
We are The Quarterback, The Musician and Bumblebee: producers and hosts of the radio show Lovercall, right here in Fredonia.
Lovercall is an anonymous late-night talk show about love, relationships and more.
Students who are guests on the show use codenames to protect their identities when discussing potentially personal topics, hence the codenames of the writers of this column.
This is your reminder that none of the hosts or guests are professionals, and everything stated is based on personal experiences.
“The Quarterback” is a 21-year-old cisgender man who uses he/him pronouns and is a senior at Fredonia.
“The Musician” is a 23-year-old gender-fluid person who uses they/she pronouns and is a senior at Fredonia.
“Bumblebee” is a 19-year-old questioning person who uses he/she/they pronouns and is a sophomore at Fredonia.
On each episode, the hosts and guests of Lovercall participate in a variety of segments.
The cast discusses a relevant news story, a date idea, a wacky game and a main topic for the episode.

Date idea of the week
We hope to provide fellow students with fun and unique date ideas in every episode. These date ideas aren’t just for romantic partners — you could go with your friends, classmates or even go solo for a fun activity in Fredonia.
This week’s date, though, is definitely one you’ll do with a romantic partner.
This episode was a much raunchier one, and our date idea fits perfectly with that theme.
You’re going to roll the dice — literally.
Sex dice are a way to keep things spicy in your relationship, especially if you’re looking to spend a night searching for that “big O” we talk about below.
Common sex dice have many sides to them, and some have as many as 20 or 24.
On each side is a different sexual position, and whatever side the die lands on is your position for the night.
Think of it as gambling meeting the Kama Sutra.
These dice are available at stores like Spencer’s or pretty much any adult outlet.
On that note, we at Lovercall would like to thank our favorite adult outlet that has recently closed: Lion’s Den in Ripley, NY.
Thank you, Lion’s Den, for helping us out with each semester’s Taste Test episode. We’ll miss you.
Going back to the sex dice, it’s important to make sure all parties are fully comfortable with each position.
We recommend taking a look at each position listed and making a list of which ones you’re comfortable with and which ones you aren’t.
Then, decide based on which positions all parties are comfortable with.
Of course, this is something that you probably wouldn’t do in the early stages of a relationship, let alone outside the boundaries of one.
However, one of our guests said he’d be open to the idea of this being a first date, and to that, we applaud him.
That level of boldness is impressive and commendable, if not a bit wild.
No matter how you choose to do this activity, be safe and have fun!
The Big ‘O’
As many on campus know, or even attended, on February 11, orgasms came to Fredonia!
Not actual orgasms, but an interactive presentation on the female orgasm that was held and presented by Marshall Miller and Lindsay Fram at SUNY Fredonia.
What does this have to do with Lovercall, though?
Well, the night of the Female Orgasm presentation, hosts of Lovercall went to the event and found out many things that lead to the pleasure of women.
That same night, Lovercall aired, covering what was discussed at the presentation.
Topics like society’s expectations when it comes to a woman’s orgasm, ways to reach one faster, ways to make the whole experience of reaching one more enjoyable and even some physical facts were covered that many of us on the show didn’t even know.
When it came to society expectations, the presenters highlighted that most people who have a vagina have, in fact, faked their orgasm.
Not only that, but many who attended answered that during sexual activity, there was a common expectation that women would not even orgasm.
With something as sad as this, we went into how to reach an orgasm and some physical aspects of how to make it better.
While discussing these aspects on the show, one thing that was mentioned was comfort and knowing one’s body.
Now, while the presentation went over a few places that most people with a vagina feel good, it’s important to understand your partner’s body on a more personal level, not just knowing where the clitoris is.
Something that the presenters shared, that I totally agreed with, is doing body tours with the one you are trying to please.
By communicating with your partner, you can better understand where they personally feel good, since everyone’s body is different.
Not only that, but some people like their bodies touched in different ways due to that uniqueness, so communication during that body tour on what they like can help make the whole experience a lot more fun.
The body tour isn’t just for the partner you’re engaging with, though; you can even try to give yourself one.
By relaxing and taking the time to try new things with your body, you can see what feels good and what doesn’t.
Knowing one’s body can help make things more pleasurable for oneself or even a partner by telling them ways to make you have more fun and reach an orgasm.
If you feel comfortable too, and only if both of you are comfortable, you can try to experiment with that said partner because maybe you like being touched one way on your own and another when someone else is doing the touching.
The main thing here is communication and understanding one’s body, just like the presentation The Female Orgasm highlighted.
The presentation aimed at enhancing orgasms through education and having an open conversation to talk about these things that might have been hushed when it came to early sex education.
The only way to make things better is through communication, education and understanding, not just in a sexual sense, and I am thankful that The Female Orgasm came to Fredonia.
