Cover Story
The Sex Lives of College Students
An on-the-ground survey of what it means to be young and in lust (or asexual or aromantic) in 2015, including: The unfixability of hookup culture; the complex linguistics of the campus queer movement; lonely and not-so-lonely virgins; Sally Quinn on what it used to be like at Smith; and Rebecca Traister on what campus feminists should be focusing on instead of just consent. Plus: A cam girl, a D-1 athlete, a couple who still roomed together after the breakup, a round robin of friendly entanglement, Grace and her girlfriend Grace, two friends experimenting with bondage, Tinder in the dorms, and a 784-student poll. All photography by students.
On the Cover: Darcy and Leor. Photograph by Lula Hyers, Bard class of 2019.
