Tell us about your PARTNER(S). What did they look like? How well did you know them, had you hooked up before? How/Where did you meet them? How did you feel about them before the hookup? He is short, Hispanic, and preppy. Not unattractive, but his personality can ruin that. We had not hooked up before, we were somewhere between acquaintances and friends from college. He was living at my apartment for a few days after the school year ended. We met at school, and before the hook up, I liked him as a friend but sometimes found him annoying.
How/where did the hookup BEGIN? What led to it? Was planning involved? Who instigated it? No planning, just a drunken night. We were drinking at a friend’s apartment, and I was pretty drunk. Next thing I know, we’re making out on the couch, then we left in an Uber and somehow managed to get back to my apartment, where the night went on.
What happened DURING the hookup? What sexual behaviors took place (e.g., oral, vaginal, anal, kinky stuff)? How did you feel during it? How did they behave toward you? Were they a good lover? What did you talk about? How did it end? Honestly, I remember very little. I remember him going down on me for a while, and some sort of hand job going on. I don’t know what more happened. We fell asleep together, but I threw up drunk, so we moved to the couch. The next morning, I woke up first, naked, and quickly got dressed. The two of us have never discussed it, but unfortunately our whole friend group and circle of acquaintances found out.

What happened AFTER the hookup? How did you feel about it the next day? What are/were your expectations/hopes for the future with this person? How do you feel about them now? We fell asleep. The next morning, we acted like nothing had happened. I was a little shocked, but not appalled or happy about it. Just like, oh! that happened. I know nothing will every happen between us, and, for unrelated reasons, I don’t really like him as a friend any more.

What are your thoughts on casual sex more generally, the role it has played in your life, and/or its role in society? What would you like to see changed in that regard? I hook up a lot and enjoy it, though I have experienced complications once emotions get involved. If everyone involved is in agreement, open, and honest, I see no issue with it.
I wish less people used it less to show off. Keep it to yourself!
Lastly, I go to an Ivy League school and was surprised to see how prevalent the hookup culture was when I first started. I hadn’t realized smart kids have so much sex, especially considering what many of us were like in high school.
What do you think about the Casual Sex Project? Mixed feelings. It’s fun, but I don’t quite see the end goal.
