Sexual
culture is a highly touchy subject, especially among adolescents whose families
would rather not believe their children are engaging in such behavior. More
often than not, nowadays, people have had past sexual experiences prior to
marriage. But, I don’t believe that today’s college students are having more sex
than before, especially when it comes to “hook-up” type encounters.
From
my point of view, adolescents are not having sex more often than previous
generations. To me, sex should be between couples that truly love each other. There
are still many that believe that sex should only be between a married man and
woman, but I wouldn’t go so far. My beliefs and everyone else’s, of course,
aren’t the same. Some are much more
lenient and others far more strict.
There
are still students who sleep around often, and perhaps as time has gone on sexual
culture has changed and such behavior is less frowned upon in our generation. In
my life however, sexual relationships are still treated as taboo. Not all of my
friends share these ideas though, one of my very best friends had the mentality
of partying and sleeping around and she had a child from one of her “hook-ups”.
The
phrase “dating is dead” is very untrue around Magnolia. In our southern locale,
everyone I know has dated at least once before entering college, though dating has
changed. Past generations used dating to find a partner to spend life with, now
it is just another way to get with someone sexually.
With
more education available today about pregnancy and STDs students, from my
perspective, have been having less casual sex. While college students have
always been wildly experimental, sleeping around constantly is becoming less a
part of their experimentation.
