Review: Sandra Caron. The Sex Lives of College Students: Two Decades of Attitudes and Behaviors
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In lieu of an abstract, here is the first paragraph of the review: Sandra Caron, the author of The Sex Lives of College Students: Two Decades of Attitudes and Behaviors, produces the largest survey on college students’ sexual lives over a span of two decades. With an annual survey with students in her human sexuality class at a mid-sized public university, the University of Maine, she traces the similarities and differences between the two- decade old generation and the present generation. The survey, with close to 5000 students, includes 100 questions on almost all aspects of sexual attitudes and behaviors. In addition, to reflect the changing trend, she also adds questions relevant to today’s students and social context. As she acknowledges, the survey cannot be generalized to all college students in the country. Her work is to provide a portrayal of the changing trend on sexual patterns among college students. It is definitely one of the most ambitious academic studies on sex among college students.
