Problems brewing on America's campuses:

"Students at the small Catholic school in Vermont told Freitas they were tired of alcohol-fueled casual sex and theme parties where young men and women role play "CEOs and Office Hos." ... They yearned for real romance that would include talking or a walk in the woods. They weren't interested in abstinence but wanted more meaning in their sexual experiences."

I don't get it. So they obviously like sex ( and surprisingly don't talk when they're doing it or getting ready to?). But they don't want to just have it casually anymore (probably burned out from all the sex they're having). But WAIT they're not going to give it up in the meantime on their new spiritual search either. Guess no one taught them that you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Excuses? "These norms were destructive, they said, but they felt powerless to resist."


On a more serious note though, I guess these clashes between one's brains and one's privates are all too common and spurred Donna Freita to write Sex and the Soul: Juggling Sexuality, Spirituality, Romance, and Religion on America's College Campuses. Sounds like a read worth checking out if you're having these inner conflicts yourself!
