The Sex Lives of College Students


Book Description

The Sex Lives of College Students presents the results of more than a 100-question human sexuality survey administered over the past two decades to thousands of college students ages 18-22. The goal is to better understand their sexual attitudes and behaviors, as well as trends. The findings raise awareness and provide perspective about students' understanding of sex matters and related difficult issues, and tell us we still have a long way to go before people own their sexuality. The survey reinforces the fact that young adults are generally comfortable pursuing sexual relationships, but often fail to openly discuss sexual issues. Some of the results suggest that the double standard is alive and well, as when more college women than men say that love is important in sex. The Sex Lives of College Students provides a springboard for honest dialogue about the role of sexuality in people's lives and a forum for more public discussion of private parts.

Analyzing the Sex Lives of Latina and Latino College Students: An Examination of the Factors That Impact Body Appearance Cognitive Distraction During Sexual Activity


Book Description

Romantic relationships form an integral part of young adults' lives. Sexual activity within romantic relationships fosters pleasure and emotional intimacy. However, some individuals are unable to enjoy partnered sexual activity due to distracting thoughts. The content of these thoughts can vary, but research suggests that body and appearance concerns (BACDSA) are the most prevalent. Much of the BACDSA research has been conducted with white college students. Thus, the factors that impact BACDSA in ethnic minorities and men are unclear. The current study aimed to bridge the gap in the literature by examining the factors that impact BACDSA in Latina and Latino college students. Findings indicate that overall Latina women are more dissatisfied with their appearance than Latino men, and consequently experience greater extent of BACDSA. For women, body image as well as relationship variables predicted BACDSA. Surprisingly, overweight preoccupation was also a significant predictor of BACDSA for men. Overall, the sample reported low levels of cognitive distraction and did not differ significantly from other ethnic groups.
