Jennifer Stevens Aubrey discusses the impacts of media on the hookup culture. A study

was performed on first year college students at the beginning of the year and again at the

end of the year. The study consisted of a survey of their media habits. Results showed

that with male students their exposure to sexually enticing media and television projected

their endorsement of the hookup culture. However with girls exposure to sexually driven

media and television didn’t sway the prediction.

Jennifer Stevens Aubrey did well in researching her first year students. The reason did

well is because of the findings of the research comes to light based on gender differences.

I can see how male college students would be more prone to endorse sexually tempting

media but I can also see how women would do this as well but I don’t think it’s as

impacting on women as it is men.

Jacqueline Bible discusses the topic of the up and coming trend of hooking up on college

campuses. She addresses the risks associated with college students having casual sex with

one another, like STD’s and unplanned pregnancy. Bible also examines the perks of the

hook up culture, such as how these hook ups are linked to future romantic relationships.

Hooking up is becoming more and more trendy amongst college students on today’s

campuses and due to it becoming more popular it’s impelling more and more students to

end up in long-term relationships with their hook up.

J. Bible did adequate research and kept an open mind while studying the ideologies

behind hooking up and casual campus sex. You can tell there is an open mind because

she is able to explain the positives such as some of these students become couples and

negatives like STD’s that come along with hooking up on college campus.

In this academic journal D.M. Currier goes over the term hookup used by college

students to describe the sexual life without really detailing the events in their encounter.

The article addresses essential heterosexist bias with the term hookup and with its

definition. The article also addresses how the vagueness in the term hookup relates to

men and women in different ways. Because the term serves both genders in different

ways, it is part of the gender construction we see as a society in which women and men

are trying to preserve femininity and masculinity.

The term hookup is used all through society. D.M. Currier address the cultural hookup on

college campuses and how the meaning of hookup isn’t as transparent as we would think

it is. Hooking up can mean a variation of things and even outside of college the term is

used to describe a sexual encounter but doesn’t give specific details to the audience. This

was an interesting article.

Roughly 60-80% of college students in the USA report having a casual sexual experience

between themselves and college peer. Students hookup without an expectation of a long-

term relationship. This academic journal produced by W.J. Hall and A.E. Tanner explores

the possible dangers in casual sex. This paper examines the hookup culture, and how it’s

predominately white and often exclusive of traditionally disregarded populations such as

black women. That being said the intersectionalities are addressed with gender ratio

differences.

W.J. Hall and A.E. Tanner did a well job in writing their review. However, the questions

that I pondered were what region of the nation were they conducting their research. There

are different areas of the United States where different races are the predominate one. I’m

not concluding that they are right or wrong but I am saying there is diversity in race

based on the region of the United States you are in.

A Cross-Cultural Content-Analytic Comparison of the Hookup Culture in U.S. and Dutch

Teen Girl Magazines is an article written that addresses the differences between Dutch

culture and U.S. culture in regards to the hookup culture and sex amongst young men and

women. There were more than 2,400 stories from 2006-2008 in the issues of United

States most popular teen girl magazines Seventeen, CosmoGirl!U.S.edition and Teen.

The teen Dutch girl magazines examined were Fancy, CosmoGirl!Netherlands edition,

and Girlz! In their research they found that the U.S. magazines had more open

conversations about casual sex and the Dutch magazines focused on sex in a committed

relationship.

This is a thought-provoking article and if the statistics are accurate there should be some

sort of regulation in place. I’m not trying to be bias but I do think that if it’s encouraging

a hooking up culture on teens as opposed to more of a romantic and committed

relationship there is a problem.

Rachel Kalish addresses the hookup culture and the ideologies of both men and women

seek trust. Part of campus students’ sexual decision making comes from trust. However,

just as a man and a woman are different their ideas of trust are different as well. A man’s

idea of trust is much different from a woman’s. A young man who is seeking cultural

hookup is seeking a woman who is not a threat to his health and reputation. A woman

sees trust with security, privacy and confidentiality.

As I was reading this journal I could see the truth in Kalish’s ideas. I would agree that

both men and women have a similar vision; the deeper concepts that go into it are on

different levels. A man wants to have a sexual encounter in which he isn’t going to lose

his status and a woman‘s idea of trust relies on deeper, more sentimental meanings.

C. Kelly describes hooking up as the practice of pursuing a sexual experience without the

intentions of having a committed and long lasting relationship. Factors that motivate the

hooking up culture are the lack of commitment, language, alcohol use, and social

pressure. Kelly describes these to be part of a sexist fashion in which girls are having

their freedoms, equality, and safety on campus put in a compromising position.

The author uses a feminist approach to evaluate in hopes to change this rising practice. I

agree that the factors Kelly describes are part of the recipe that is being prepared for this

culture shock. She mentions that the lack of commitment, language, alcohol, and social

pressures are the key factors in this practice.

In this journal, Paula England, a professor of Sociology conducts research on her campus

and other national universities about the hook up culture. Hook up culture is when

college students hook up to hook up. She addresses the topic of students hooking up with

other students. She goes over the frequency and how emotionally satisfying they are for

the college students participating. England feels that there is an audience that needs to

become informed of college kids and their casual sex relationships. However the rhetoric

in the video seems to be more focused to grab the attention of other college students, who

are most likely already aware of what’s going on.

I found this article strange and unnecessary in many ways. I wasn’t sure why Professor

England was making it a big deal to create an informative video for parents but after

viewing the video it seemed more geared towards other students.

Popular media is describing hookup culture to its readers as a way to have a sexual and

usually a frequent encounter with college peers without the intentions of having a long-

term relationship. These meetings between male and female college students are pursued

by both genders without and anticipation of having a committed relationship. The hookup

culture is being pronounced as a widespread sensation that is swapping old-fashioned

dating on college campuses. There are more students engaging in the hookup culture

compared to generations past.

M.A. Monto and A.G. Carey covered hookup culture and is bringing to light how it is

becoming a college epidemic. Their journal is pointing out that hooking up is taking over

colleges; it seems that the idea of tradition is becoming obsolete. I don’t know if I can

completely agree with this, the first thought that came to mind for me was the sexual

revolution. I don’t know how college students are having more sex than those who were

in school during 70’s era of free love.

Steven Rhoads addresses the mental health issues associated with casual sex between

college students while they hookup. Both men and women who participate in the hookup

culture have a negative impact on their mental health. After having sexual hookups

women don’t feel satisfied and feel a sense of vulnerability. Men are expressing a

sensation of depression after casual sex with a random partner.

The mental health of men and women was a good point that Steven Rhoads brought up in

his article. Most often people are thinking of the negative impacts such as STD’s and

unplanned pregnancy, and higher dropout rates but they are not addressing the mental

health statistics of the cause and effects of this dilemma.

This journal writing documents the difference in numbers for the hookup culture amongst

the LGB community and the heterosexual community. Although the LGB community

documents that ¾ of their community hookup the numbers are still larger amongst

straight men and women. While documenting the different communities there is a

disconnect in the ability to explore the motivations, experiences, and end results of both

the LGB and heterosexual male and females. There is as constraint in and gap in which

they are able to obtain research on due to selection availability of the LGB community.

LGB youth are more prone to a higher risk of sexual, mental, and health issues.

This was as good article but they lacked the research. They also made this apparent when

they gave admission to the fact that not all areas have been researched in the LGB

community due to the lack of people to perform research on. As time goes on and there

are more LGB willing to come out I think this will number will go up.
