PRESENTATION: From hang outs to hook ups. An honest approach to embracing safe sexual experiences on campus and beyond
The old “first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby carriage” forgot to include one important part of the timeline-College. For the first time many young adults are free to make their own decisions-from what they eat, what time they go to bed and quite frankly…. who they might invite into theirs. Aside from the obvious opportunity to study, College is a period in life focused on self
exploration, which in many cases is not limited to brand new sexual encounters and how they can shape our mental (and physical) perception of oneself long past our graduation and into adulthood.
