The purpose of this study is to explore how college students talk about risks when a friend is about to participate in hooking up, and analyze the gendered differences in these risks and how it socially controls men and women. The authors explore the physical, emotional and social risks that many college women experience with hookup culture, which results from sexual double standards.

Therefore, the authors investigate college women’s sexual satisfaction in heterosexual sex by utilizing/measuring orgasms and sexual enjoyment. The authors used the Online College Social Life Survey to administer self-administered questionnaires from men and women but only used women’s responses. The results showed that hookups involved less sexual activity in comparison to relationships. While most of the college students viewed being in a relationship the most appropriate context for sexual intercourse. In addition, women who had repeated hookups had more orgasms as compared to hookups with a new partner, and sexual intercourse in relationships resulted in the most orgasms. Armstrong, England and Fogarty explain that there is a higher rate of orgasms in relationships because couples in relationships have more sexual intercourse. Additionally, gender inequality was present in the findings as both men and women reported that men are not concerned with women’s pleasure in hookups. On the other hand, the findings indicated that men are care about women’s pleasure in relationships. The authors interpret these findings are the new version of sexual double standards where sexual pleasure has become reciprocal in relationships while women’s sexual pleasure in hookups remain
