Hot, wet, dirty or rough; however you like it, you can find it on a college campus.
The “hookup,” society’s new word for meeting and mating, is a developing act swarming college campuses.
From a simple kiss to full-blown intercourse, college students have found a way to fulfill their sexual desires with no strings attached.
National studies have revealed that more than 70 percent of college students will hook up with a casual partner in some form before they graduate.
Teresa Downing-Matibag, assistant professor of sociology, has also recently been involved with multiple studies revealing students’ behaviors and attitudes toward hooking up. Her studies revealed that students are often misinformed about the risks of acquiring a sexually transmitted infection during hookups.
In Downing-Matibag’s study, none of the students who engaged in oral sex during a hookup protected themselves against orally transmitted STIs because they didn’t think it was necessary.
“You [students] need to think about the fact that the person you are giving oral sex to on Friday night might have had unprotected vaginal intercourse with someone else last Saturday. You really don’t know how many sexual partners your hookup partners have had, or whether they used protection,” Downing-Matibag said.
