In her new book American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus, Lisa Wade sets out to show her readers why the hookup culture is making so many college students unhappy (if not plain miserable). Having spent the last several years of my career at the Love and Fidelity Network working to expose the many harms that have resulted from college students’ casual attitudes towards sex and relationships, I have witnessed firsthand the disappointment, hurt, anxiety, and anger that always seem to go hand-in-hand with hookup culture. Hookup culture has been gaining traction on college campuses for the past several decades, and it isn’t making students happy. So what constitutes a hookup? Typically fueled by alcohol, hookups are sexual encounters between individuals who have no expectations of commitment either before or after the exchange. For today’s college students, the hookup culture is a very real part of their experience on campus.
