Background edit
The magazine was available in both a print and online digital versions. Boink catered to both men and women with articles dealing with sexuality in college life. All models were students from area colleges and of various sexual orientations.[2]
In 2008, a book based on the magazine was published by Warner Books, titled Boink: College Sex by the People Having It.[3][4]
By 2010, the magazine had ceased publishing new issues, although the book can still be purchased online.[5]
"The reason that I like this magazine is that you can tell they are real college students... not those fake college students you find on the Internet." —Howard Stern (BU alumnus)[6][7]
