For all the stories we hear about “hookup” culture on college campuses, more and more research is showing that growing numbers of college students are not only having less sex than college students used to, but they are also dating less as well.

It seems many students’ reaction to the debauchery of the hookup scene is to forgo opposite-sex relationships altogether, which makes it only harder for many students to build successful relationships later in life. Speaking with the Institute for Family Studies, Brigham Young University professor Dr. Jason Carroll notes that as marriage ages move from the late 20s to the early 30s, the risk of divorce actually goes up.
