Hooking Up When You're An Anti-Rape Activist

Sitting on her lofted bunk bed, Jimena froze. Across the small room, Cassidy squealed with laughter, fell back onto her bed and helped Declan strip off her clothes. Cassidy and Declan proceeded to have sex, and Jimena turned to face her computer. That was the first time Cassidy had sex in front of her. Jimena, a conservative, deeply religious child, was raised by her Nicaraguan immigrant parents to value modesty. Cassidy, an extroverted blond, grew up in a stuffy, mostly white, suburban neighborhood. On the day that she moved into their dorm, she narrated her Tinder chats aloud to Jimena as she looked to find a fellow student to hook up with. Later that evening she had sex with a match in his room, then went home and told Jimena everything. Students like Cassidy have been hypervisible in news coverage of hookup culture , giving the impression that most college students are sexually adventurous.

It's the most wonderful time of the year: the start of a new semester. While sitting in seminars for hours at a time might not be the best part of moving back to campus, there are certainly other things that make college worth it — making new friends, exploring old interests, and all those bucket list places to hook up on campus. That's right: Hooking up on campus may not be recommended by your dean, but a lot of students partake anyway. I asked a handful of women to share their daring campus hookup stories, from frolicking in cornfields on the outer edge of the quad, doing it in their best friend's dorm room bed. While their tales are sure to make you literally LOL, know that it's completely OK if they don't mirror your own college experience. While these four years are definitely a time for women to explore their sexual preferences and desires, everyone approaches that journey on their own terms.
College: a time of released inhibitions, newfound freedom, and discovering a love read: dependency on alcohol, junk food, and caffeine. It can be an amazing time for most people, partly because of all the reasons listed above, but also because college is like a bubble — a bubble full of sex and booze in which the normal rules of society like showering or wearing actual clothes don't apply. That being said, does the same apply for sex on campus? Mainly, can you get expelled for having sex on campus?
