Dating often feels like a male dominated game for a lot of reasons, but historically society has reinforced the idea that men are the ones who have to make the first move. For example, Downing-Matibag and colleagues (2009) found that approximately half of students report being unconcerned about the risks of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) from hooking up, and most were unaware of the risks of STIs from unprotected oral sex performed while hooking up. Students’ reports of condom use during hookups are relatively low ( Fielder & Carey, 2010b ; Lewis et al., 2012 ). For example, in a sample of female college students, reports of condom use during hookups ranged from 69% for vaginal sex to 0% for oral sex ( Fielder & Carey, 2010b ). Hookups commonly involve alcohol use ( LaBrie et al., 2014 ; Lewis et al., 2012 ; Paul & Hayes, 2002 ) and are often spontaneous; these factors may increase the likelihood of unprotected sex.<\/p>\n
