What college students think "hooking up" is
Ongoing research since 2005 has surveyed more than 17,000 students from 20 colleges and universities and reported that by senior year. Seventy-two percent of both sexes reported having at least one hookup, with the average 9.7 for men and 7.1 for women.
“Hooking up” in college means anything from making out, or oral sex, to sexual intercourse. Eighty percent of students who did hook up did so nine times or fewer. With the high amount of the hooking up incidents involved in the college lifestyle, it is becoming a huge topic going around campuses throughout the nation.
Out of 483 college students surveyed, prior
to starting college, one-third of incoming freshmen women reported having at least one hookup, while 60 percent said they had sex at least once in the context of a romantic relationship. Forty percent reported sexual hookups during the first year of college, and less than one in five participants had a sexual hookup each month. However, 56 percent engaged in oral or vaginal sex with a boyfriend or romantic partner during the
year.
The human body has over 600 muscles. During sex, you are releasing and contracting all the muscles within the body. In addition, on a physical level, chemicals are linked with elevating mood and reducing depression. “One possible theory is that the vaginal tissue is very absorptive and semen contains a multitude of mood-boosting chemicals, like endorphins, oxytocin, serotonin, and prolactin”.
In a large Web-based study, of 1,468 undergraduate students, participants reported consequences. 27.1 percent felt embarrassed, 24.7 percent had emotional difficulties, 20.8 percent experienced loss of respect, and 10 percent reported difficulties with a steady relationship.
