Uchicago Hookups

A few University of Chicago students have created a casual sex site called UChicago Hookups.  The purpose of the site is to allow UChicago students, find casual encounters and entertainment events.  The site says “Chastity is curable if detected early” and features a Victor Lownes quote: “A promiscuous person is a person who is getting more sex than you are.”   More than 200 people have already signed up for the service and  are looking for a "no srings attached" sexual experience. "We’re trying to change the ages-old stereotype that UChicago students are severely sexually deprived,” the site’s creator writes on the site. 






But is this taking that stereotype too far in a different direction. In my opinion sex is turning into a everyday thing now.  It is supposed to be cherished and shared with a person you love.  Young adults now are treating it like some sort of casual thing you do with your friends.  And the media is only making the situation worst with movies coming out like "No Strings Attached" and "Friends with Benefits" (pretty much the same as "No strings Attached" with different actors). Or shows on MTV like Skins, which shows very sexually active teens. Also teen celebs are having babies.  And we wonder why our teens are geting pregnant at such a young age.  Is society now telling them it's Ok?  That at that age, they are supposed to be having sex and if you get pregnant, oops, O well.
