Do college students participate in more sexual intercourse then they
used to? Personally, I don’t know for
sure. I do not encourage the discussion
of sexual activities with my friends. I am
aware of all that is going on around me, but feel that sex something that should
be saved for my future husband only.
People may be participating in sex more, but I definitely believe
it has become more socially acceptable than it used to be. If a non-married coed had become pregnant in
the 1960s she would have been shunned and even kicked out of school. Now, people produce TV shows about teenagers
getting pregnant. Also, TV shows, even those
that are on family-oriented stations, show many sex scenes or speak about sexual
topics freely. Commercials, too, now show naked
men and women in the showers and no one is even bothered by it.
Our culture is bombarded by the ideas of having sex before marriage or
with different people even afterward. Both now border on normal, and many even see them as desirable. So, I believe that college students today do
not see anything wrong with “hooking up.”
They think that if they don’t hook up that there is something wrong with
them.
College students may not have more sexual intercourse than they used to,
but I think they definitely don’t see anything wrong with having sex and not
being married.
