Document Summary
Sexual objectification: representing or treating a person like a sex object, one that serves another"s sexual pleasure, media is increasingly sexualized. What is the point: dating replaced by hooking up as the main campus script, getting your physical needs met without the time commitment or emotional commitment found in a steady relationship. Does this mean sex: no!- students found (2008, college undergrads, 39. 5% vaginal intercourse, 32. 1%- kiss, touch, 15. 1% hand to genital, 11. 7% oral sex. What is a hookup: physical encounter without expectations, people who do not expect anything further, not dating or expecting serious relationship. Double standard: men: studs , women: sluts , researchers found: men say if women sleep with them on 1st/2nd hookup they are not seen as relationship material . Men exaggerating experiences: men: 6. 1 median lifetime sexual partners; women 3. 6, more men also say they hookup in college. Is the date dead: dating - when couples are already boyfriend/girlfriend, date - much rarer.
