That’s what the doctors at Syracuse and Brown Universities are trying to sell us, anyway. And despite their best efforts at using science for slut-shaming, I’m not convinced.
It’s more than a little suspect that the survey — which interviewed 483 undergrads at NYU — only studied and reported on women.
Do men not fear “acquiring a negative reputation” or the “failure for the hookup to transition to a romantic relationship” as the study claims these impressionable college co-eds do?
Of course not, because they’re entirely in control of their actions and emotions, whereas women are hysterical and so strongly want human contact and attention they’d f*ck just about anybody.
I think the “depression” these researchers noted might have just been a reaction to the details the female subjects were forced to record about “how many times they had had oral and vaginal sex.” But that’s just my theory.
