This document summarizes research on casual sexual relationships and experiences (CSREs) such as hookups, one-night stands, and friends with benefits relationships during emerging adulthood (ages 18-29). It examines the role of CSREs in emerging adulthood given delays in marriage. Different forms of CSREs are defined, including key differences between friends with benefits and fuck buddies. Predictors of engaging in CSREs discussed include intimacy goals, attachment styles, personal values regarding casual sex, alcohol use, and partner characteristics. Positive and negative consequences of CSREs are also examined.
The document discusses the powerful impact that words can have on people's lives. It notes that words have the ability to empower or dismantle others in an instant and can leave lasting effects. Social media in particular has become a breeding ground for hateful language that plays a role in depression and in some cases, suicide. The author provides an example of a 12-year old boy who was constantly bullied online for his sexuality, which eventually led him to take his own life. Verbal abuse can profoundly alter how people develop and interact with others long-term. While words have the power to help or harm, people often underestimate their influence and fail to consider how their words may affect others.
Sonny Southwell is the 17-year-old main character of the media piece, portrayed as capable but not fully responsible as an adult. His typical teenage outfit of green jeans, black coat, and trainers helps the target 15-35 audience relate to him. A survey found audiences relate better to characters close in age and form connections to better enjoy the plot. The character is male, conforming to typical horror conventions, though the survey found gender does not impact overall film opinions. Sonny is white British and the survey found ethnicity does not impact whether people watch a film. His middle-class background allows similar audiences to relate more.
Our film is aimed mainly at females under 35, as research showed they have a higher interest in romance films. It is meant to appeal to a wide mainstream audience across all social classes. We chose this target audience because films like ours tend to attract younger women the most. The film would likely be rated 12 by the BBFC due to some depictions of alcohol abuse and violence, but they are not central themes and are not shown extensively. Sexual content would be limited to kissing. An interview with a 30-year-old female target audience member revealed she enjoys romance films because they test relationships in an engaging way and are relatable to her life stage.
Friends With Benefits Relationships ResearchNicholas Derry
This study examined different types of friends with benefits relationships and how self-esteem affects investment, satisfaction, and commitment within these relationships. An online survey was conducted to gather data. It was found that self-esteem was positively correlated with relationship satisfaction, such that those with higher self-esteem reported greater satisfaction. Level of investment was the strongest predictor of commitment. Contrary to hypotheses, intimacy was found to be negatively correlated with satisfaction. The study provides insight into factors that influence relationship quality and commitment in the context of friends with benefits arrangements.
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about gangster films. It found that most respondents were male, aged 15-18. Most people enjoy watching gangster films and associate them with guns, Italian mobs, and violence. The Godfather was the most commonly favored gangster film. The majority of respondents said trailers that leave them wanting more make them most likely to see a film. Common hobbies included sports, gaming, TV and music. Rap music was most associated with the genre by respondents. Good acting and an interesting plot were cited as important for enjoying a gangster film.
The document proposes a pitch for a film called "A City of Saints" about friends who run a mafia in 1930s New Orleans. It aims to attract mainly males aged 15-24 and 25-34, as the violent and action-packed story set in America's past would appeal more to men. Some elements like a romance subplot could also draw in female viewers, especially if watching with partners. Market research surveys indicated the primary target audience would be males aged 15-30, with some older and female viewers as well.
The document outlines a film project about a man who wakes up in a cell not remembering the night before and is a suspect in the beating death of another man. The film will portray the consequences of a night out involving drinking and drugs and send a message about making responsible decisions. The target audience is 15+ due to graphic violence, drinking and drug use. Marketing ideas include magazine covers, posters, billboards, and radio interviews to promote the film and actors.
The document discusses how the filmmakers represented various social groups through their casting choices for a 2-minute film opening. They aimed to conform to stereotypes to create realism but also subvert expectations at times. They cast a young black woman as the neglectful foster mother to represent stereotypes of single black mothers. A young Asian male was cast as the vulnerable foster son to represent stereotypes of Muslim boys. The filmmakers analyzed how their casting choices represented characteristics like class, race, gender, age, and sexuality within the constraints of their short film.

One night stands. - Casual sex vs Sex in RelationshipUday Jumle
This document discusses one night stands from multiple perspectives. It begins by defining a one night stand as a single sexual encounter with no expectation of future involvement. It then outlines some potential pros and cons from a man's perspective, including anticipation, fear of performance, and post-encounter bragging. Famous TV characters who had many one night stands are mentioned. Statistics on countries where one night stands are most common are provided. The document also compares sex in committed relationships, noting how it can mature and allow for experimentation, compared to potentially lowering expectations from one night stands.
1) The study examined how attachment style influences individuals' motivations for casual sex and their enjoyment of different sexual encounters.
2) It was hypothesized that insecure attachment would motivate sex for self-reassurance, while anxious attachment would additionally motivate sex for relationship reassurance.
3) It was also hypothesized that enjoyment would depend on attachment style and encounter intimacy, with anxious individuals experiencing the most pleasure and positive emotions from intimate encounters, and avoidant individuals experiencing similar levels across all encounters.
It can be said that the failure in promoting economic and social development of almost all peripheral and semi-peripheral countries of the world can be attributed to the fact that the governments of these countries have adopted strategies to promote national development in isolation in relation to the world system capitalist. The new theoretical reference of analysis of the economic system of a nation taking into account the capitalist world-system proposed by Wallerstein is opposed to the Cartesian approach that formulates the development of the national economic system dissociated of the capitalist world system. So that explains the failure of national developmentalism and socialism deployment that resulted from the fact that their mentors admit having ability to promote national economic and social development disassociated from the capitalist world-system.

Casey robinson casual sex reciprocity presentationCasey Robinson
Casual sex and hookup culture is prevalent among college students. Studies show that men are more likely to orgasm than women during casual sex, as women's needs are often not prioritized. However, a later study found more equal orgasm rates between men and women when both partners focused on mutual pleasure. While hookup culture provides sexual freedom for some, others argue it reduces sex to exhibitionism rather than true liberation.
This survey of 75 Park University students found that:
- The majority (58%) of respondents were women and most (67%) were commuters.
- While college is often portrayed as encouraging casual sex, most Park students believe the atmosphere is more focused on dating than casual sex.
- Women strongly prefer dating over casual sex, but face stigma if they engage in casual sex which some see as making them "sluts."
- Men are more divided in their preferences and receive more positive views even if they prefer casual sex.
- In general, students view relationships more positively than casual sex partnerships.

Foucault argues that the concept of sexuality is a historical construct, not a natural given. He challenges the idea that power primarily works to repress sexuality, arguing instead that a new form of power called "biopower" seeks to regulate and manage sexuality. Biopower functions through scientific discourses that study, classify and attempt to normalize sexuality. Foucault asserts that sexuality itself is produced through these power-knowledge relations, rather than being a secret identity waiting to be liberated. He claims calls for liberation actually support the operations of biopower by encouraging us to view sexuality as a natural essence to divulge.

The document discusses interpersonal relationships, which involve social connections between two or more people. Interpersonal relationships can range from casual acquaintances to intimate relationships between friends, family members or romantic partners. The stages of interpersonal relationships typically involve initial contact, involvement, intimacy and potential deterioration. Effective communication is important for maintaining relationships, as over 90% of failed relationships result from a lack of honest communication.
Men and women can be friends, but there are caveats. While some argue that sexual tension prevents true cross-sex friendship, others note that attraction depends on individual circumstances like sexual orientation or involvement in other relationships. Additionally, as social norms change and men and women have more equal opportunities and interests, cross-sex friendships have become more politically charged. Ultimately, whether men and women can be friends depends on the individual situation and is a complicated issue with reasonable arguments on both sides.
The document discusses the effects of having false friends. It begins by defining friendship and different types of friends, including false friends who only act friendly for their own benefit and are not sincere. The document then discusses several studies and literature that talk about the negative effects of false friends, such as feeling betrayed when they are not there during difficult times. The document suggests that false friends can damage trust in relationships and cause emotional harm. It emphasizes the importance of choosing friends wisely and being aware of competitive friends who may try to undermine the friendship.
The document discusses various topics related to family life, relationships, and marriage, including:
- The differences between infatuation and love.
- Traditional courtship practices in different regions of the Philippines, such as serenading, doing chores for the woman's family, and using love potions.
- The importance of courtship in getting to know a potential partner and determining compatibility before engagement.
- Types of dating, such as standard dates and group dates, and their importance in strengthening relationships and learning about each other.
- Factors to consider when choosing a lifetime partner, such as character, maturity, commitment, love, and economic readiness.
- The key ingredients of
The document discusses sexuality and gender norms in society. It argues that while society imposes a double standard around sex and gender, views are changing as pre-marital sex becomes more common. It also notes that media portrayal of gender roles can negatively impact both men and women by promoting unhealthy attitudes. The survey aims to understand modern attitudes towards sexuality, number of partners, and societal judgments.

Attraction is proposed as the binding force for love and romance. The document discusses various types of relationships including platonic love, friendship, marital love, romantic love, and workplace and internet romance. It explores how attraction can develop between friends and lead to love, how love and relationships change over time, especially after marriage when responsibilities increase. It also notes both benefits and challenges of workplace and internet romance.
This document discusses some of the challenges of long-distance relationships and provides tips for making them work. It notes that long-distance relationships put relationships at risk due to difficulties with trust, physical intimacy, taking the relationship to the next level, and really knowing the partner. However, it also provides advice such as communicating regularly, making visits, planning time together, and committing to the relationship.

THE NATURE OF FRIENDSHIPFRIENDSHIP ACROSS THE LIFE CYCLEDIFFERENCES IN FRIENDSHIPFRIENDSHIP DIFFICULTIESFOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONCHAPTER SUMMARY
I get by with a little help from my friends. John Lennon
Take a moment and think about your two best friends. Why are they such close companions? Why do you think of them as friends? You probably like but don't love them. (Or, at least, you're not “in love” with them, or you'd probably think of them as more than just “friends.”) You've probably shared a lot of good times with them, and you feel comfortable around them; you know that they like you, too, and you feel that you can count on them to help you when you need it.
Indeed, the positive sentiments you feel toward your friends may actually be rather varied and complex. They annoy you sometimes, but you're fond of them, and because they're best friends, they know things about you that no one else may know. You like to do things with them, and you expect your relationship to continue indefinitely. In fact, if you look back at the features that define intimacy (way back on page 2), you may find that your connections to your best friends are quite intimate, indeed. You may have substantial knowledge of them, and you probably feel high levels of trust and commitment toward them; you may not experience as much caring, interdependence, responsiveness, and mutuality as you do with a romantic partner, but all three are present, nonetheless.
So, are friendships the same as but just less intimate than our romantic partnerships? Yes and no. Friendships are based on the same building blocks of intimacy as romances are, but the mix of components is usually different. Romances also have some ingredients that friendships typically lack, so their recipes do differ. But many of the elements of friendships and romances are quite similar, and this chapter will set the stage for our consideration of love (in chapter 8) by detailing what it means to like an intimate partner. Among other topics, I'll describe various features of friendship and question whether men and women can be “just friends.”

THE NATURE OF FRIENDSHIP
Our friendships are indispensable sources of pleasure and support. One study of unmarried young adults found that over one-third of them (36 percent) considered a friendship to be their “closest, deepest, most involved, and most intimate” current relationship (Berscheid et al., 1989). A larger proportion (47 percent) identified a romantic relationship as their most important partnerships, but friendships were obviously significant connections to others. And they remain so, even after people marry. Another study that used an event-sampling procedure1 to track people's interactions found that they were generally having more fun when they were with friends than when they were alone or with family members, including their spouses. The best times occurred when both their spouses and their friends were present, but if it was one or.
Group dating is common in early adolescence as teens learn to relate to the opposite sex. Dating progresses from group activities, to pairing off in couples, to focusing on a single steady partner. Physical attraction initially draws teens together, but shared interests, personality, values, and goals become more important for maintaining a serious relationship. Communication, respect, and setting boundaries are key for navigating intimacy. While dating allows social and emotional growth, teens should make decisions that align with their own moral compass rather than feelings of pressure. Maintaining open communication with parents can help teens safely navigate the ups and downs of dating.
The document discusses how the concept of friendship has changed with the rise of technology and social media. It defines real friends, virtual friends, and acquaintances. While real friends are those one spends quality time with in person, virtual friends are online connections that may or may not have meaningful engagement. Younger generations are more likely to initially connect online before potentially meeting in person, while older generations prefer in-person interactions before connecting online. All agree that real-life interactions are most important for close friends, but social media and phones help maintain other connections. The qualities desired in real versus virtual friends differ between age groups.

One study of unmarried young adults found that over one-third of them (36 percent) considered a friendship to be their “closest, deepest, most involved, and most intimate” current relationship (Berscheid et al., 1989). A larger proportion (47 percent) identified a romantic relationship as their most important partnerships, but friendships were obviously significant connections to others. And they remain so, even after people marry. Another study that used an event-sampling procedure1 to track people's interactions found that they were generally having more fun when they were with friends than when they were alone or with family members, including their spouses. The best times occurred when both their spouses and their friends were present, but if it was one or.
Group dating is common in early adolescence as teens learn to relate to the opposite sex. Dating progresses from group activities, to pairing off in couples, to focusing on a single steady partner. Physical attraction initially draws teens together, but shared interests, personality, values, and goals become more important for maintaining a serious relationship. Communication, respect, and setting boundaries are key for navigating intimacy. While dating allows social and emotional growth, teens should make decisions that align with their own moral compass rather than feelings of pressure. Maintaining open communication with parents can help teens safely navigate the ups and downs of dating.
The document discusses how the concept of friendship has changed with the rise of technology and social media. It defines real friends, virtual friends, and acquaintances. While real friends are those one spends quality time with in person, virtual friends are online connections that may or may not have meaningful engagement. Younger generations are more likely to initially connect online before potentially meeting in person, while older generations prefer in-person interactions before connecting online. All agree that real-life interactions are most important for close friends, but social media and phones help maintain other connections. The qualities desired in real versus virtual friends differ between age groups.

The document summarizes several theories of criminal behavior, beginning with the Classical school in the 18th century. The Classical school believed criminal behavior was a result of free will and could be deterred through proportional punishment. Notable classical theorists included Cesare Beccaria and Jeremy Bentham. Later critiques found the Classical school ignored individual differences and mental state. Neo-classical theory accounted for those lacking responsibility. Sociological theories emphasized social and environmental influences on crime.
Evolution of law enforcement and our criminal justiceShamori Williams
The criminal justice system is a vital part of our society and a complex amalgamation of three major components: law enforcement, courts and corrections. Each component acts independently and interdependently as the total system functions. Law enforcement, as the first point of contact with citizens, serves as the gatekeeper to this system, which has grown and evolved exponentially since our country was founded.
The law has long defined a line between juvenile and adult offenders, but that line has been drawn at different places, for different reasons. Early in United States history, the law was heavily influenced by the common law of England, which governed the American colonies. One of the most important English lawyers of the time was William Blackstone. Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England, first published in the late 1760s, were widely read and admired by our nation’s founders.
The document outlines an agenda for a discussion on criminal justice, including an introduction, three main topics to cover with supporting details and examples, a real-life anecdote, a concluding statement summarizing key points, and proposed next steps.

This document discusses how neighborhood conditions can influence individual outcomes for children and adolescents. It notes that while research shows neighborhood plays a role, the specific impacts are still unclear. For adolescents, peer influences like antisocial behavior, adult role models, and availability of afterschool programs may be particularly important. Exposure to crime and violence is also linked to negative outcomes for youth. The document examines different conceptual frameworks for understanding neighborhood effects and challenges in accurately measuring these impacts.

The document discusses the role of the US Federal Government in controlling organized crime over time. It outlines how organized crime groups like the Italian mafia emerged in the 1800s and began activities like drug trafficking and money laundering. It describes some of the government's early efforts to prosecute individuals like Al Capone in the 1920s. The document also notes that currently, African criminal groups are developing rapidly and pose a growing threat, as well as how new technologies are enabling more complex crimes that are harder for law enforcement to address. It concludes that the government will need to continue adapting to new forms of organized criminal activity.
The US Constitution was written between May and September 1787 by delegates in Philadelphia led by George Washington, James Madison, and others. It was created to establish order and shared rules among the states after the Revolutionary War left the country weak under the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution drew upon historical documents like the Magna Carta and was written to address problems in society by defining individual rights and establishing a structured federal government with separation of powers.

This document traces the evolution of law enforcement and the criminal justice system from ancient times to the present. It discusses early systems of law from Egypt, Greece and Rome, followed by developments in medieval England like the Frankpledge system, tithing system, and Magna Carta. It then covers watch and ward systems from the 1500s, the role of sheriffs, and the establishment of the first police forces in 17th century Boston and London. The document concludes by outlining the traditional three eras of policing: the political era from 1840-1930, the reform/professional era from 1930-1980, and the community-focused era from 1980 to present.
Two early prison systems that emerged in the 19th century in America were the Pennsylvania System and the Auburn System. The Pennsylvania System involved solitary confinement and silence, with no corporal punishment. The Auburn System was implemented in a New York prison in 1815 and had inmates work silently together during the day. These systems spread across America and the world. Early American prisons were often dark, overcrowded, and unsanitary, housing both minor criminals and felons. Through the 19th century, prison reform sought to use incarceration to morally reform inmates through discipline and labor, rather than just punishment.

2. Abstract
Casual sexual relationships and experiences (CSREs) such
as hookups, one-night stands, friends with benefits
relationships, and booty calls have received increasing
attention in the past decade. This review examines the role
of CSREs during emerging adulthood, as well as similarities
and differences among the different types of CSREs.
Furthermore, we examine the predictors and positive and
negative consequences of engaging in CSREs.
4. introduction
Specifically, these relationships/ experiences are casual in that they
occur outside of ongoing dating relationships (i.e., committed
romantic relationships) and marital relationships. Notably, the word
‘‘casual’’ does not refer to the salience or importance of these
relationships/experiences, but rather it denotes that these
relationships/experiences occur outside of the context of formal
romantic relationships. Second, CSREs are sexual because they
involve sexual overtones and/or behavior. Finally, CSREs include
experiences (e.g., Furman & Collins, 2009), but are not limited to
experiences because
5. Role of CSREs in Emerging Adulthood
The age period of 18–29, known as emerging adulthood, is an
important period for the successful development of romantic
relationships (Arnett, 2004; Arnett & Tanner, 2006). However,
there has been a shift in dating and relationships in the past
several decades such that individuals are marrying at later ages
(see Bogle, 2007, 2008; Garcia & Reiber, 2008). In the United
States, the average age of first marriage has risen to 28.2 for men
and 26.5 for women, which represents a peak for the last century
(U.S. Census Bureau, 2010). Furthermore, placing less importance
on being married (marital importance) and the desire to delay
marriage (marital timing) has been linked to sexual
permissiveness in emerging adulthood (Carroll et al.,
2007).
6. Role of CSREs in Emerging Adulthood
This delay in marriage means that for many individuals
emerging adulthood is no longer a time of settling down with
a long-term committed relationship as suggested by romantic
stage theories. Shulman and Connolly (2013) argue for
‘‘Coordinating Romance and Life Plans’’ as a transitional
romantic stage during emerging adulthood. In this stage,
emerging adults work through a variety of new relationship
skills that were not relevant during adolescence before
moving toward more long-term relationships.
7. Forms of CSREs
• Hookups
• Friends With Benefits (FWB) Relationships
• One-Night Stands
• Booty Calls
• Sex Buddies
8. Hookups
A ‘‘hookup’’ is one of the most commonly used
terms to describe uncommitted sexual encounters,
but it is also one of the least consistently defined
terms in the area of sexuality research.
9. One-Night Stands
One-night stands are primarily sexual relationships
that occur one time only.
Because of the brief nature of the experience, one-
night stands generally take place with strangers or
brief acquaintances
11. Sex Buddies and Other CSREs
While hookups, FWB, one-night stands, and booty
calls have received the most attention in the scientific
literature, emerging adults use a variety of other terms
to describe CSREs
For example, fuck buddies have received little
attention in empirical research thus far, which may be
because of the potential overlap with FWB
relationships.
12. The Difference Between a “Friend With Benefits” and a “Fuck Buddy”
A friends with benefits will ask you how your day was, a sex
buddy will ask you how the sex was.
A friends with benefits will make plans to hook up later in the
week, while a sex buddy will text you at 1am on Saturday
night to see if you’ll be DTF in the next 30 minutes.
A friends with benefits knows when your birthday is, what you
like on your pizza, and that you have two sisters. A sex buddy
only knows your favorite position, and maybe your preferred
flavor of lube.
13. The Difference Between a “Friend With Benefits” and a “Fuck Buddy”
A friends with benefits will compliment your new hair cut, and
a fuck buddy won’t even notice.. unless it’s of the Brazilian
variety.
A friends with benefits will ask you if you want to grab a few
drinks before you get naked, a fuck buddy will show up
already drunk and couldn’t care less that you stayed in that
night and you’re stone cold sober.
A friends with benefits will actually watch an entire movie
with you either before or after (and while) you hook up. A fuck
buddy won’t even pretend he’s there for anything other than
sex.
14. The Difference Between a “Friend With Benefits” and a “Fuck Buddy”
A friends with benefits was in your life before you started
hooking up, and will probably stay in your life when you stop.
A fuck buddy will disappear from your life without so much as
a see ya later.
You might actually meet a friends with benefits’ other friends
at some point, but a fuck buddy will keep you away from
anything related to his actual life at all costs. In fact he’s
probably terrified you’ll take it as a sign you could be more
than fuck buddies.
15. The Difference Between a “Friend With Benefits” and a “Fuck Buddy”
You’re probably your friends with benefits’ number one hook
up, at least for awhile, but guaranteed, your fuck buddy has a
few other girls on speed dial in case you don’t answer fast
enough.
A friends with benefits will show up to your birthday party, but
a fuck buddy will just meet you after to give you your gift (aka
his dick) in private.
A friends with benefits might actually have the potential to
turn into more if the timing is right, but a fuck buddy will
never be more than someone you have sex with from time to
time, and that’s how you want it to stay.
16. Booty Calls
The literature on booty calls is relatively new, emerging in the
last 5 years. A booty call has been defined as ‘‘a communication
initiated towards a non-long-term relationship partner with the
urgent intent, either stated or implied, of having sexual activity
andor intercourse’’ (Jonason et al., 2009, p. 462). This term can
function as both a noun to describe a person contacted for the
purpose of sex or a verb used to describe arranging a sexual
Meeting.
17. Predictors
Researchers have unearthed a number of predictors of
engagement in CSREs. With few exceptions (see
Fielder & Carey, 2010a; Owen, Fincham, & Moore,
2011), research on predictors of CSREs has, however,
been cross-sectional. This research has primarily
focused on closeness and intimacy, personality, personal
and religious values, alcohol use, situational triggers,
and partner characteristics.
18. Closeness and Intimacy
Having high levels of intimacy goals (desire for self-
disclosure and mutual dependence within a relationship)
has been linked with lower levels of sexual activity in
casual sexual contexts for adolescents (Sanderson &
Cantor, 1995). Adult attachment styles have also been
implicated in involvement in CSREs.
19. Personal and Religious Values
Personal values, especially regarding casual sex, also predict
engagement in CSREs. For example, Puentes, Knox, and Zusman
(2008) found that individuals who valued hedonism (the idea that
‘‘if it feels good, do it’’) were more likely to have an FWB
relationship than those who thought that sex was acceptable
within a loving relationship (relativism) or those who believed
that intercourse was never acceptable before marriage
(absolutism).

Editor's Notes
While casual sexual relationships and experiences (CSREs) are not an entirely new phenomenon (see Fisher & Byrne, 1978; Sonenschein, 1968), investigations in recent decades have established that most young adults experience—at some point—intimacy and/or sexuality outside of committed romantic relationships (e.g., Garcia, Reiber, Massey, & Merriwether, 2012; Heldman & Wade, 2010). These uncommitted relationships/experiences are often defined specifically in contrast to committed relationships.
Qualitative research has shown that while male college students share a vague general understanding of what a hookup is, interpretations of the emotional ties and sexual behavior implied vary
across individuals (Epstein, Calzo, Smiler, & Ward, 2009). Emerging adults may be drawn to the ambiguity of the term, which allows a single word to describe a variety of sexual encounters and sexual behaviors (Epstein et al., 2009; Glenn & Marquardt, 2001). However, this imprecision creates issues in conceptualization for researchers.
Specifically, the hookup varies in regard to the types of sexual behaviors it encompasses, the length of relationship, who it involves, and if it includes or is separate from other CSREs.
Definitions of hookups generally incorporate a great breadth of sexual activity from kissing to intercourse (Bogle, 2007, 2008; Hamilton & Armstrong, 2009; Stinson, 2010), although some researchers focus specifically on hookups involving sexual intercourse or oral sex (e.g., Gute & Eshbaugh, 2008). Many researchers have either explicitly limited the hookup to a one night encounter (e.g., Paul et al., 2000) or implied that these relationships do not need to involve interaction past one night (e.g., Burdette, Ellison, Hill, & Glenn, 2009). More recent definitions have moved toward a broader understanding that does not limit hookups to one-time encounters (see Heldman & Wade, 2010). Current research remains inconsistent regarding if hookups occur only with relatively unknown individuals or if hookups also occur among friends’
From a historical perspective, the one-night stand is not new. However, it is just within the past 50 years that one-night stands have been recognized as an important topic of study in the scientific
literature. For example, the one-night stand was recognized as a prominent relationship among homosexual men in the late 1960s, lasting only a brief period of time (a few minutes or hours to a full day or weekend) and occurring between individuals who did not know each other, or knew little about each other (e.g., Sonenschein, 1968). The specific study of a one night stand became more common over time, appearing in qualitative accounts of sexual behavior (e.g., Townsend, 1987) and with a high percentage of individual’s reporting having had a one-night stand by the late 1980s (e.g., Snyder, Simpson, & Gangestad, 1986). In more recent decades, the one-night stand has become both a common lay term and scientific topic of investigation (e.g., Wentland & Reissing, 2011). Because one-night stands are, according to some researchers, synonymous with hookups (e.g., Owen & Fincham, 2011b).
Definitions of FWB relationships are fairly consistent within the literature and generally include the idea of sexual activity that occurs between friends who do not consider their relationship
to be romantic. l FWB relationships do stem from preexisting relationships including friendships, romantic relationships, and sexual partners. FWB relationships differ from other CSREs in a number of
ways. FWB relationships allow an individual to engage in sexual activity with someone in an ongoing friendship relationship while avoiding commitment associated with romantic relationships
(Bisson & Levine, 2009). As such, FWB relationships are more stable and include an aspect of respect and emotional involvement not found in other CSREs (Lehmiller, VanderDrift, & Kelly, 2011; Wentland & Reissing, 2011). Furthermore, individuals participating in FWB relationships share a friendship on top of the sexual aspect of their relationship, making FWB relationships particularly difficult to navigate. For example, Bisson and Levine (2009) found that about 48.9% of college students who had experienced FWB relationships expressed uncertainty about the relationship.
However, these relationships were identified by participants in a qualitative study by Wentland and Reissing (2011) as separate from FWB relationships. These relationships, participants suggested, are more derogatory than an FWB relationship but imply more recurring contact than a booty call. Further research is needed to tease apart the nature of fuck buddies, as well as other CSREs mentioned
by emerging adults such as ‘‘play buddy,’’ ‘‘bang buddies,’’ ‘‘hit it and quit it,’’ and ‘‘last calls’’
These relationships acknowledge the influence of social media on the way individuals engage in CSREs and have the unique factor of involving the use of cell phones and other technology to initiate sexual activity. While these relationships are recurring, qualitative accounts suggest that they tend to be less positive in nature than an FWB relationship (e.g., Wentland & Reissing, 2011). They are often
a last resort or are initiated when other hookup attempts have failed (Heldman & Wade, 2010; Wentland & Reissing, 2011). Jonason, Li, and Cason (2009) argue that booty calls involve both short-term and long-term relationship factors and are therefore appealing to men and women for different reasons. Specifically, they include features of long-term relationships (some emotional intimacy) that are appealing to women, but they also include less commitment than committed romantic relationships which is appealing to men (Jonason et al., 2009, 2011). Qualitative data suggest that individuals in
booty-call relationships have little affection for each other and do not engage in mutual activities outside of sexual behavior (Wentland & Reissing, 2011).
Securely attached individuals, who tend to have trusting, lasting relationships, have been found to report fewer one-night stands and hookups as well as fewer total numbers of partners
(Cooper, Shaver, & Collins, 1998; Paul et al., 2000). Individuals with avoidant attachment styles may follow one of the two patterns: They may avoid sexual intercourse all together (Cooper et al., 1998; Kalichman et al., 1994) or they may engage in casual sex, which has an absence of emotional involvement (Brennan & Shaver, 1995; Feeney, Noller, & Patty, 1993; Simpson & Gangestad, 1991). Those with anxious attachment crave closeness but have difficulty maintaining this closeness. In general, these individuals are not accepting of casual sex (Brennan & Shaver, 1995). Their desire for intimacy, however, can make them prone to risky sexual experiences because they may have sex out of a fear of losing their partner (Tracy, Shaver, Albino, & Cooper, 2003). These individuals have been found to have unwanted but consensual sex (Gentzler & Kerns, 2004). Gender differences have also been found, such that the link between anxious attachment and casual sex is stronger for females than males and the link between avoidant attachment and sexual risk taking is stronger for males than females (Bogaert & Sadava, 2002; Kalichman et al., 1994). Overall, individuals who have secure attachment
styles, characterized by low levels of anxiety and avoidance, and individuals who have high levels of intimacy goals appear to have low levels of CSRE engagement.
