To people in their teens or 20s, "hooking up" often means a casual sexual encounter — anything from kissing onwards — with no strings attached.
In this keynote speech, Sessions Stepp, author of Unhooked, and a writer for The Washington Post, addresses this not-so-new subject from a different perspective: hookups can be damaging to young women, denying their emotional needs, putting them at risk of depression and even sexually transmitted disease, and making them ill-equipped for real relationships later on.
She points out that both males and females should work hard to gain another's affection and trust. Stepp conflates what the girls refuse to conflate: love and sexuality. Sometimes they coexist, sometimes not. Loving, faithful marriages in which the sex life has cooled are as much a testament to that fact as a lustful tryst that leads nowhere.
