CARBONDALE -- On the dance floor at Gatsby's II, a popular bar at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, a tall brunette drinks beer from a plastic pitcher while she grinds her backside into a man's body.
A silver disco ball hangs overhead while a blond woman in a pink, pleated miniskirt writhes on her partner's leg.
A girl notices that her boyfriend's attention is wandering. With a manicured hand, she grabs his face and plants a Hollywood-worthy kiss on his mouth.
On this sticky dance floor, littered with plastic cups and packed with gyrating bodies, women are the hunters as much as the hunted.
Traditional stereotypes dictate that men want sex, and women crave love. But, on today's college campuses, students say those gender lines are blurrier than a pair of beer goggles.
When a University of Illinois sorority girl observed over lunch at a Champaign cafe that "guys aren't looking for love," her friend chimed in: "I don't think we can blame it on the guys. I'm not looking for love, either."
Girls are just as bad as boys now," another woman said.
"To guys, [sex is] still like scoring," said author Tom Wolfe, who spent two years on college campuses researching his new novel. "The strange part is that it's become that for girls, too. They'll say, 'I scored Jack last night . . . finally!'''
A federal government survey of 4,600 college students found that slightly more male than female undergrads are virgins.

The greatest trick that men did during the sexual revolution is to convince women to give it up and make statements like the one above. We tricked you into saying that you are not looking for love, plain and simple.

Well, there's your problem. Not using the right tool for the job.
Nobody won the sexual revolution. We all - as individuals, and as a society - lost. A lot. Indeed, the nation may yet not survive.
Assuming she's a grownup, her actions and their consequences are her responsibility, no one else's.
I, too, recognized "The Graduate." However, up until my last year it was full of pool tables and was more of a "redneck" bar than a "college" bar.
Obviously you didn't go to my college.
We all know promiscuity is wrong. But I guess it's especially offensive when done by women, because women are always expected to be more moral. Some folks here try to find practical reasons why sleeping around is wrong. Pregnancy, STDs, emotional damages are sited. But those are preventable things: we all heard about condoms, and getting drunk may offset mental/emotional stuff as well (plus there is great variation in level of emotional intensity among women). So, staying away from casual sex is not necessary for any material reason, it is not in any way a guarantee of a better marriage in future. Not sure about others, but I avoid such behaviors simply because G-d said so.
Yes, you did. I can attest to that. ;o)
Correlation, not causation. People who practice NFP are overwhelmingly devout Catholics, who are already heavily opposed to divorce.
She is either awfully stupid or awfully repulsive.
Dumplin'!
Yes, oh yes, driving by KFC still makes me misty eyed.

I went to Carbondale. Unfortunately they didn't have freak dancing yet. So we'd just get really drunk and wasted and screw.
Sorry gals, wanna be sluts... that's fine.. just don't come whining later when no guy will commit to ya.
What a night that was...took me days to get the broccoli out of my hair...
Where they live is not nearly as important as how they live... can live in a all female dorm all day long and still be at the frat house every night.
Character dictates behavior. Yes avoiding temptation is a crucial ability, but how one behaves in the face of it, shows their true character.
Perfectly put.
Completely irrelevant to the question of whether it's good for her, or good for society in general.
