Are Hookups Killing College Romance?

By Karin Agness 3/2/2009

College freshmen quickly learn that “hooking up” means engaging in a physical relationship with someone who you may or may not have known beforehand and with whom you have little or no expectation of a future relationship. The last few years have been especially big years for hooking up, not because college students are hooking up more, but because academics, journalists, and doctors have begun writing about it.

Among others, recent titles include: Unhooked: How Young Women Pursue Sex, Delay Love and Lose at Both by Laura Sessions Stepp; Hooking Up: Sex, Dating, and Relationships on Campus by Kathleen Bogle; Sex and the Soul: Juggling Sexuality, Spirituality, Romance and Religion on America’s College Campuses by Donna Freitas; and Unprotected: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness in Her Profession Endangers Every Student by an anonymous M.D.

Surveys, interviews, and statistics have convinced these authors of such dangers. Despite the evidence, many college women have not taken notice.

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be a day of celebrating love, romance, and the sweetheart in your life.

I witnessed this firsthand when I walked past our famous frozen yogurt place at the University of Virginia — Arch’s — on Valentine’s Day one year when the holiday fell on a weekday.

Usually, this popular frozen yogurt stop has a constant flow of people. But on that Valentine’s Day, something was different. You might have thought Arch’s was giving away its famous frozen yogurt for free, because the line stretched out the door.

The inside was different also. Instead of individuals or pairs picking up their treats and leaving, groups of three, four, and five women were filling tables, enjoying their “Death By
Chocolate” (chocolate frozen yogurt, gooey brownies, and chocolate sauce), “Cherry
