Why Romantica is the Way to Go.

[Zine]

http://shine.yahoo.com/love-sex/why-college-students-dont-hooking-much-think-002400197.html

"The End of Sex by Donna Frietas is getting a lot of action lately,
with reviews calling it "important, wise, and brave" (The Atlantic),
"illuminating" (WSJ), "straight-forward, well-researched, and eye-
opening" (Publishers Weekly), and with Frietas herself penning an
editorial for the Washington Post and nabbing a coveted spot on The
Today Show."

"Subtitled "How Hookup Culture Is Leaving a Generation Unhappy,
Sexually Unfulfilled, and Confused About Sexual Intimacy," the book
analyzes 2,500 surveys from 11 colleges and finds that casual sex is
perceived by students as the only romantic option on campus these days
- and that actually bums a majority of them out."

Empty sex is likened to empty calories. The causes? Stress,
everyone's doing it, it's a culture thing and technology facilitates
it. And, of course, parents and higher education, always easy
targets, promote this culture and its mentality.

Of course, the stress of too much to do in too little time and the
pressure to excel doesn't stop with grad and nor does sex as a major
coping mechanism nor the need for romance or at least intimacy, imho.
So, two words: Erotic Romance, if you're so inclined.

Zine.

I read here an excellent Romantic Erotic story about a deaf girl and a guy
on a colledge. The exception which does not change the average.......

Other excellent Romantic Erotic story is with colledge background: clvfan
"Can David Find True Love?". 800IBgorilla's excellent fantasy story is other
good example "A Beautiful Wish", but without colledge background.

Actually, this is nothing new.. just a reiteration of what common sense tell us.  There's been a lot of fiction making the same point. 

 

Has nothing particular to do with 'college' education, either.*  Just the age group and there's a good survey sample readily available at universities.

 

Good sex requires an emotional connection.  Jsut getting laid with nameless faceless is worse than mutual masturbation.. that can be laid off as 'just a game'.

One night stand requires a conscious emotional detachment.  I've been sexual' all my life {marvel at guys who write they only started jonesing on girls at puberty}.

One thing I found in my early twenties was that I couldnt get it up if I knew the girl really wanted to be somewhere else  and was just doing it to be doing it.

On the other hand on my first date with my now wife of 40 plus years we left the club mid-date and went to the car, then came back.. did again end of date. Spent 4 hours next day in bed.. spent most spare hours in first two years of marriage in bed.

My stories pretty much reflect this viewpoint.  Not the single-soul-mate factor becuase there has been more than one.. but that there has to be some other connection than just sexual for it to work.
Call than romantica, or something less, it is there.

 

*Considering how easy it is for stupid and/or disturbed people to matriculate and even teach at academia.

Or the stupid little twit should wake up and write her fantasies and fears, anon, on SOL and stop embarrassing herself in public.  We have tons of that genre...

Nit-Nit!  Judge typo's  in context.  

 I started typing over 40 years ago.  And used Word Processors for business since late seventies.  From that time to this day I cannot type 'STATUS' without it coming out 'staus'.  Can't remember when but a few years ago I set autocorrect to fix that. Then decided hell with it.

PS: There's no 'A' in college either. Soehow that bugs me more because more people do that.  Or their spell check does.

Romance, sex, peril. Harlequin is waiting for your submission, if you'll just add a vampire or werewolf or two. Key passage:

Authors should feel comfortable exploring any and all sexual scenarios and shouldn't shy away from graphically sensual situations. In fact, the short stories should contain many erotic scenes that compel and bind the characters together. Strong, emotional characters that grab the readers [sic] imagination are also essential.

I guess maybe they also need a Web editor or two.

Heck, that's a trivial obstacle. Just as in SOL erotica all women are bi- (guys not so much) and siblings and parents can't wait to jump into bed with each other and with the neighbors, I have it on good authority that every werewolf has been to the relevant doggie spa within the past week and all vamps are warm and cuddly. S'truth.

They must have jumped off of the werewolf when they heard he was going
to get dipped.

Never read the books or seen the movies, but just looking at Miss Stewart and Mr. Pattinson the old-fashioned term "drip" comes to mind.
