Sexual Hookups Among College Students: Sex Differences in Emotional Reactions: A Study

“Hookups,” or uncommitted sexual encounters, are becoming progressively more engrained in popular

culture, reflecting both evolved sexual predilections and changing social and sexual scripts. Hook-up activities

may include a wide range of sexual behaviors, such as kissing, oral sex, and penetrative intercourse. However,

these encounters often transpire without any promise of, or desire for, a more traditional romantic relationship.

Women twice as likely to have orgasms in committed relationships than one-night sex hookups: study

Dr. Garcia said, “We’ve been sold this bill of goods that we’re in an era where people can be sexually free and participate equally in the hookup culture. The fact is that not everyone’s having a good time.”

Similarly, a study of 24,000 students at 21 colleges over five years found that about 40 percent of women had an orgasm during their last hookup involving intercourse, while 80 percent of men did. The research was led by Paula England, a sociologist at New York University who studies the dynamics of casual sex.

By contrast, roughly three quarters of women in the survey said they had an orgasm the last time they had sex in a committed relationship.  The lack of guidance is common, Dr. England said. “Women are not feeling very free in these casual contexts to say what they want and need,” she said. Part of the problem, she added, is that women still may be stigmatized for having casual sex.
