Stright from Moron central… the shocking fact that collage students everywhere are the same. As a matter of fact, forced collage religion probly causes more sexual issues (duh).

Many American college students today make no connection between their involvement in the “hook-up culture” and their religious faith, a Boston University professor said Friday.
Many students divorce their sexual practices from religion because they believe religious teachings on sex are outdated, potentially even laughable, said Donna Freitas, author of “Sex and the Soul.”
“Yet some are not happy with the hookup culture and want it to stop dominating their lives.”
Freitas surveyed more than 2,500 students and conducted 130 one-on-one interviews in the spring of 2006 at seven different colleges and universities that included Catholic, Christian, private secular and public institutions.
Many students involved in the “hook-up culture” report feelings “awkward, used, dirty, regretful, empty, alone, miserable, disgusted, ashamed, duped,” Freitas said at the annual Sunstone Symposium, an independent forum for Mormon thought. “They wanted to change the culture.”
The No. 1 reason women said they were involved in casual sex was to get into a relationship that would include talking, visiting scenic settings, and maybe a long walk or some star-gazing. In other words, romance.
“They were gambling,” Freitas said. “They told me, ‘you have to have sex with 99 guys until one actually will date you.’ ”
LDS college students at schools such as Brigham Young University where pre-marital celibacy is required have the opposite experience, said Freitas’s student, Heidi Harris.
Romance and dating are common while sex is forbidden, said Harris, a BYU graduate.
She cited a popular BYU Facebook site entitled, “I Am Saving Myself for Wild, Passionate, Awkward Honeymoon Sex.” It has had 43,000 visitors.
In a 2002 survey, only 3 percent of BYU single students said they had had sex.
“Students may have underreported their sexual experiences out of fear of the honor code, or a sense of shame or embarrassment,” she said. “But even so, the percent is remarkably lower than the 60 to 70 percent average on other campuses.”
She quoted one blogger who said, “There is just as much sex going on at BYU as at any other university, it’s just they get married first.”
Despite the rigid requirements of premarital abstinence, Mormon theology is uniquely liberal in its teachings that God has a body, a wife and that sex will continue in heaven, she said.
Robert Rees, who has written extensively on Mormon topics and was an LDS bishop of a California singles ward, agreed.
“Sexual transgression was the most pervasive and persistent problem I had to deal with as a bishop,” Rees said. “I saw it as my calling to help members have a healthy understanding of sexuality. It is one of the gifts from loving Heavenly Parents who are themselves sexual beings.”
Whatever the sexual experience, Rees concluded, “we will always be in need of God’s abundant grace.”
