“…This act is more consistent with actions suggesting sexual exploitability (Goetz, Easton, Lewis, & Buss, 2012) and is not consistent with Schmitt and Buss (2001), who found that getting the person drunk would be an ineffective action for male poachers. This act may have been the most nominated action because the sample was composed primarily of college-aged men, and college aged men participate in high levels of alcohol consumption (Flack, Hansen, Hopper, Bryant, Lang, Massa, & Whalen, 2015).…”

“…While the activities involved in a hookup can vary, it always entails some sort of sexual act. Even in cases where both parties were interested in hooking up, studies have found 75% of campus sexual assaults occurred in the context of a hookup (Flack et al, 2016). Because of this, some students using a dating site for hooking up may be increasing their risk of sexual assault.…”

Background: Advances in technology have created different platforms, such as online dating, where college students can meet other people. One serious risk factor of using online dating is the risk of sexual assault. Many sexual predators will use online dating as a method to connect with potential victims who are often vulnerable and trusting.Aim: This paper discusses the risk of sexual assault among college students who use online dating sites. Faculty can be pivotal in educating students on the dangers of online dating and sexual assault. In addition, faculty members are in a position to recognize signs students may be exhibiting after a sexual assault, offer advice, and provide linkage to necessary services.Results: Risk factors of sexual assault are explored in depth, including predatory tactics and the vulnerability specific to college students. Provided are key safety tips for online dating as well as recommendations regarding resources and reporting to law enforcement.Conclusions: Online dating is popular among college students. Educating students in safety factors will enable them to consider the potential dangers and risk of sexual assault. In addition, higher education institutions must consider the needs of students and provide links to resources, support systems and reporting mechanisms.

“…Some of these incidents would not meet legal criteria for sexual assault; however, they are considered acts of sexual aggression because these men acknowledge that they engaged in sexual activity despite the woman’s lack of consent. These incidents typically occur among individuals who know each other, often in a dating, “hookup”, or party context in which the woman may agree to some types of sexual activities but refuse others (Flack et al, 2016). …”

Perpetrators of sexual assault are often intoxicated; however, few experimental studies evaluate alcohol's "in the moment" effects on sexual aggression. This study extends past theory and research by examining the acute effects of alcohol on men's decisions about how to respond to sexual refusals in a dating simulation. Men (N = 62) ages 21-29 were randomly assigned to consume alcohol (target breath alcohol level 0.080%) or no alcohol. Participants were encouraged to talk to a simulated woman and act as they would on an actual date. They made choices from a list which included nonsexual and sexual options. The female agent was programmed to engage in some sexual activities but refuse others. Refusals became more intense if participants persisted. Negative binomial regression analysis was used to test a path analytic model. As predicted, participants' self-reported desire to have sex was positively associated with choosing more consensual sexual activities during the simulation (i.e., activities in which the woman willingly engaged). Consensual sexual activities were positively associated with the number of times participants persisted after the woman refused. Alcohol moderated this relationship such that it was stronger for intoxicated men than sober men. The more sexual refusals participants received, the more hostile verbal comments they made to the woman. Contrary to our predictions, this relationship was not moderated by alcohol condition. Because participants had multiple opportunities to escalate their aggression or desist, this paradigm provides new insights into the mechanisms through which intoxication enhances the likelihood of sexual aggression in dating situations.

Some types of hookups may be riskier than others for campus sexual assault.

Abstract: If found to generalize to other campus populations, the role of hooking up in sexual assault should be added to systems-based models of sexual assault (e.g.,Heise, 1998) and to educational prevention programs. (PsycINFO Database Record
