Assignment
When it comes to intimacy and sex, young people today are apparently doing away with the old rules of romance and cutting straight to the chase.
If recent reports are to be believed, the rise of "hookup culture" on college campuses is in the process of killing off dating and courtship, radically altering some of our most basic assumptions about heterosexual sex and gender.
But for all the speculation, there's been little beyond anecdotal evidence to back any of these claims up.
Instructions: Define hookup culture in your own words.
Is there a hookup culture on CU Denver campus? Why or why not?
What pressures or processes do you see at play that influence your peer's decisions to participate in hookups or not?
How does this change for people based on gender identity, sexual orientation, race, socio-economic background, etc. Has your personal definition of what constitutes "having sex" changed over time?
Is penetrative sex still a dominate sexual standard? Why or why not?
