Lisa Wade, Ph.D., is a Sociology professor at Occidental College who recently conducted research on college freshmen to see what really was going on with the hookup culture. According to her research, the average college student has between four to seven different hookups in the four years he or she is in college. Also, students will now have oral sex, more specifically oral sex performed on men. Even though the numbers suggest fewer students actually hookup in college than they did in the past years, they are more sexual towards others.
