Duke coed's sexual history "senior thesis" goes viral

[violetpretty]

A few thoughts:

I truly believe that the author used her real name and the subjects' real names because she trusted her friends with whom she shared the "thesis" not to share it. If you were just sharing this among your friends, why not use the real names? She obviously trusted the wrong people. She should have shared it in person with her friends to ensure it wouldn't get out. Or, if she was looking for a book deal, she should have removed the names and the faces of her subjects. If I were one of the author's friends, I would think it was funny, but it's a shame that the subjects' real names were outed.

It is pretty obvious that the author slept with these 13 athletes to "collect" them. One of the slides said something like "I was almost blacked out, but I had somehow managed to crawl into bed with a Duke athlete."

Bottom line: It sucks for the subjects to have had their privacy violated, but I don't think the author should feel ashamed for enjoying sex.
