Have you heard about the latest college activity?
It’s called “hooking up” -- a one-time sexual encounter between students. Studies show that 60 to 80 percent of college students will hook up before they graduate. Students say it’s because they’re focused on grades and don’t have time for relationships. Sure, grades are important, but relationships are more important. Life is all about relationships. We need to teach our young men and women to honor and respect others in those relationships and to save themselves for the most important human relationship that they’ll ever have…the one with their future husband or wife.

3. "hooking up"
If that's the 'latest' college activity, they must be going retro!

I think that was, uh, quite popular whan I was in college in the early 80's.

9. Back in the good old days we called it
getting laid. Hooking up is nothing new.

Anti war rallies were an aphrodisiac. Ever wonder what the students did when they took over a university building?

4. "One-time sexual encounter"?
So it's against the rules to hook up with the same person over and over? I was a bad college student. :evilgrin:

8. Back in the "olden days" (read 1970's), we used to call the same thing
"one night stands". This is re-inventing the burp.

10. Family First
wow, what a life saver. I'd of known nothing about this if not for them. Imagine, college students having sexual relations before marriage?

11. uh yeah - so?
We need to teach our young men and women to honor and respect others in those relationships and to save themselves for the most important human relationship that they’ll ever have…the one with their future husband or wife.

Or maybe we need to teach them condom use, self respect, and love for life. College is the perfect time to sow your oats, try new stuff, get some life expreience, etc. Part of that is "hooking up"

12. To be fair, this was more often my goal than my actual experience.
