For
some college students, “hooking up” with other students is a major highlight of
their college careers. However, there are still students like myself who choose
to put their pent-up energy into their studies. I believe that although there
may be more talk about hooking up than there once was, it doesn’t necessarily
mean that more college students are having more casual sex with various
partners.
As far as my personal college experience goes,
hooking up doesn’t really affect me. Most of my friends aren’t concerned with
sleeping around and neither am I. Our time is spent studying and being
involved in various activities on campus. However, I have one friend who seems
to have a different sexual partner every week and has no moral dilemmas about
his decisions. Personally, I’m not interested in that kind of activity on
campus, but to each his own.
I strongly disagree that most young people are
having sex more often and with more partners. According to the article,
“today’s young people are not having sex more often or with more partners.” I
don’t think that younger generations are involved in sexual activities any more
or less than they were decades ago when the first of these two hookup studies
were conducted.
The
term “hooking up” doesn’t necessarily mean more sex among contemporary
students. According to the article, the students “…did not report having sex
with more people over the past year than earlier students did. And they were
substantially less likely to have sex once or more a week.”
My
personal experiences of “hooking up” on campus aren’t much to base the whole
college experience on because I’m too busy to think about jumping into bed with
someone. Even if I had the time to dedicate to this activity, I would value
myself and my partner too much to consider having casual sex.
