Sorority girls gone wild: '1 to 3' casual sex 'hookups' every month
College girls in the States are indulging in "casual, no-strings-attached sexual encounters" at such a rate that one needs a little lie down just after thinking about it, according to bona-fide scientific research done for totally high-minded reasons. A smoking hot press release from the Miriam Hospital in Rhode Island has all …

Hookup
They say that to 'hookup' is somewhere between kissing and fucking like bunnies and that the frequency is between 1 and 3 times a month. They then go on to imply that all college girls have sex with perfect strangers every 10 days. It is more likely that the mode is to kiss and cuddle with someone they know quite well once in 30 days. So your daughter may in fact have kissed 12 people in her first year away. Not that shocking really.

Oh bad language isn't liked in some places either. I remember during one visit to California I was watching a movie on TV. One guy got shot in the head. The broadcaster seemed happy to show the back of his head coming off but felt the need to bleep out what the victim's friend said as they watched.

Hooking Up -Chinese style
It is quite common for Chinese students to 'hook up' with Foreigners to earn some cash on the side to buy electronic bling, school books, clothing, etc.
The usual amounts are between USD$40-70 for a few hours of close encounter. They even use Bluetooth to attract strangers who might be seated in a restaurant and who have, unwisely, left their Bluetooth wide open.
I have chatted with some of these young women and what I find surprising is that they don't find it anything like 'hooking'. t seems there is a difference between living off prostitution and occasionally dabbling in fund-raising.
And in case you guys see it as a likely opportunity on a visit, bear in mind that STD and HIV is rampant!

Surprise surprise, there were more random encounters at the start of the first year than at the end. That couldn't be anything to do with playing the field until they found the right match could it? It's rather like buying a car - kissing/cuddling = visiting the showroom & reading the specs, if you like what you see then one-off sex = taking a test drive. By the end of the year they've surveyed the market & decided on their choice - this is exactly the same process many of my friends went through in the late 70's/early 80's when they went to Uni in the UK.
It's also the effect pointed out in the original A/C at 06:14, teens going wild as soon as the parental constraints can be avoided. Same reason why teens are more likely to drink to excess.

I regret not having gone to college in the 21st, then
“It’s important that we gain a better understanding of students’ sexual behavior, since it can potentially affect both their physical and mental health as well as their academic success.”
Time for an additional financing round to go... uh ... undercover.

Well used women are not often well married
The women who act this way may find no long term mates. We are genetically programmed to want to control the father of the offspring, and thus may not want to marry a woman who is likely to mate outside the marriage and leave me to raise the child of another man - thus extinguishing my genetic code for that pregnancy

Re: Well used women are not often well married
"The women who act this way may find no long term mates." [citation needed]
There's a pop-psych study conducted at the Mormon Brigham Young University that makes this claim, but its statistical methods have been challenged (for one thing, it recruited most of its samples from Mormon universities, where premarital sex (and coffee drinking!) can result in expulsion). Even with the author's data, the claims don't pass statistical analysis; see, for example, Dr. James Coyne's analysis, which found that after controlling for religion and education, among other factors, the correlation between pre-marital abstinence and relationship satisfaction later in life was very small--<2%--and would likely be even smaller if other confounding factors were included.
"We are genetically programmed to want to control the father of the offspring, and thus may not want to marry a woman who is likely to mate outside the marriage and leave me to raise the child of another man - thus extinguishing my genetic code for that pregnancy" [citation needed]
God save us from popular misconceptions of evolutionary psychology--itself a rather dubious "science" that seems more about validating social norms than about real understanding of human behavior.

I don't know about today...
...but back when I was in college (1975-79), sorority chicks were mostly a bunch of vapid, boring, standard-issue Barbie doll types who I wouldn't have fucked with somebody else's dick.
And, now they're hooking up one to three times a month? Jeez, I guess frat boys are stupider than ever.

Studies like these always bug me...
...because they remind me of when I was in high school in the early '70s, when our parents and "educators" were getting all bent out of shape by how sexually active "today's teens" were -- and all I could think was "jeezus, I sure wish I could find some of those 'sexually active' chicks in my school! I can't get any pussy to save my life!"
