sexual hook ups among college students

60 to 80 percent of college students have experienced some kind of sexual ‘hook-up’, researchers say.

Researchers from Binghamton University and The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University, collaborated on a comprehensive academic review of the sexual hook-up culture.

Their findings concluded that these encounters, which are increasingly becoming the ‘norm,’ mark a shift in the openness and acceptance of uncommitted sex among U.S. “emerging adults” during the transitional developmental period between adolescence and young adulthood.

“What we were able to see in the literature was a real change to dating culture,” Justin R. Garcia, a research fellow at The Kinsey Institute, said.

“Since the 1920s, we’ve seen a gradual movement away from dating under parental supervision, in fact, taking it out of the house completely. This project provided a very colourful snapshot of where we are today by focusing on a unique transitional period in an emerging adult’s life – the college years.

“What we found presents a new take on sexual behaviour today, which is that we’re dealing with a culture among emerging adults that views sex in a non-committal way, emphasizing experience over committed relationships,” he said.

Drawing a team of researchers from a broad range of disciplines, the project presented an opportunity to look at the issue of uncommitted sex from a multifaceted theoretical perspective.

“We brought together a real mix of forces to tackle this project,” Sean Massey, co-author of the study, said.

“We tapped into the expertise of an evolutionary biologist, an anthropologist, a social psychologist and a developmental psychologist – people who were able to collaborate intellectually but able to draw from different spheres and methodology.
