Sex Without Intimacy, No Dating, No Relationships?
What? The hookup, that meeting and mating ritual that started among high school and college students is becoming a trend among young people who have entered the workaday world. For the many who are delaying the responsibilities of marriage and child-rearing, hooking up has virtually replaced dating.
Do you agree that this is the new cultural change we are facing as a society?

Yes I do agree and not only with the younger generation! I have found it within my generation.
Is it really easier? Is there really no relationship? No dating? No expectations? I don't think so!!!!

It sounds like a recipe for disaster, I sure wouldn't go for it! It's not how God created things to be!

I don't think it's highschool and college students leading this "change". After college, you are still like 22 or 23 and that is young.
It is the ease of dating and the negative attitudes that men and particularly women have about marriage that stops everything. And why should young people get married if their parents aren't even happy?
