Free coed hookups

Others longed for boyfriends and deeper attachment.

Some women described a dangerous edge to the hookup culture, of sexual assaults and degrading encounters enabled by drinking and distinguished by a lack of emotional connection.

The women interviewed came from all corners of Penn’s population.

But there is an increasing realization that young women are propelling it, too. They watched a little TV, had sex and went to sleep.Instead, she’ll talk about “cost-benefit” analyses and the “low risk and low investment costs” of hooking up.Hanna Rosin, in her recent book, “The End of Men,” argues that hooking up is a functional strategy for today’s hard-charging and ambitious young women, allowing them to have enjoyable sex lives while focusing most of their energy on academic and professional goals.But others, like Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna and mother who in March wrote a letter to The Daily Princetonian urging female undergraduates not to squander the chance to hunt for a husband on campus, say that de-emphasizing relationships in college works against women.
