Increase (Free) Education on Alcohol-Induced Causal Sex and The Risks Amongst College Students

Alcohol seems to go hand in hand with attending college while casual sex tends to go hand in hand with alcohol. According to studies at the Center of Health and Behavior, 51% of women had engaged in casual sex before attending college while 60% engaged into it by the end of the semester, and of which 64% were under the influence of alcohol (Walsh, Jennifer L., et al.). Through those statistics that’s nearly 40% of all college women engaging into casual sex while under the influence. Alcohol induced rape cases have the highest percentage (19.4%) compared to child sexual abuse (6.2%) or forcible rape (6.4%) (Walsh, Kate, et al.). In a society where we assume that liquid courage leads to casual sex, this may be a problem when the results ends in something as extreme as Alcohol-Induced Sexual Assault (AISA). Whereas some people believe there is nothing wrong with engaging in casual sex, studies suggest there is a linear relationship between drinking and how close one is with their partner. Alcohol-induced casual sex threatens the health and safety of college students by increasing the risks of unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and sexual assault. While 5% of established romantic partners engaged in sexual activities did so under the influence, 89% of strangers that engaged in sexual activities did so under the influence (Walsh, F. Jennifer, et al.) The studies conducted by Neil M. Malamuth testing the morality of men asked each subject the question, “If you could be assured that no one would know and that you could in no way be punished for engaging in the following acts, how likely, if at all, would you be to commit such act?” One in 3 men would force sex.
