When I met some of my friends for dinner last week, our casual conversation turned to an unanticipated topic—a website called macdix.tumblr.com. As the name suggests, the site features photos of penises of a number of Macalester students. A quick Google search with slang names for other sexual organs at Mac will leave you all but empty handed with alternatives.

I am appalled at the site’s existence. Those of you who know me also know that I am no prude and appreciate the male body as anybody else, but I was left in absolute shock that such a site would appear within our community. We have, of course, had quite the menu of various “community” websites, be it the now ancient LikeALittle, Mac Missed Connections or Mac Confessions. They each have their own set of issues, particularly Mac Confessions, but none reach the strata of MacDix.
