From the publisher:

"The Current Collegiate Hookup Culture provides a holistic picture of the current hookup culture in American college campuses....The Current Collegiate Hookup Culture calls into question long-held gender-specific beliefs about the collegiate hookup culture and advocates moving past dated assumptions for an understanding that more accurately represents the current hookup culture in American college campuses."
