Students need to pay attention to the orgasm gap
Whether it is a casual discussion between friends or political discourse on campus, college students are talking about sex.
STDs and STIs are normal
Let’s face it: STDs and STIs are not the sexiest subject. Your sexts are probably not filled with dialogues about HPV. The subject feels awkward and embarrassing, especially when you are talking to a potential partner.
Consent is sexy
Consent is black and white: either you have it, or you do not.
Porn is not sex positive
It is discussed in hushed tones next to water coolers, and its cheesy music and dialogue is commonly parodied. Yet, according to some estimates, it is the content of 1 in 5 mobile searches, while other statistics assert that 12 percent of websites are pornographic.
We are the future of reproductive health
College students have increasingly been changing the rhetoric surrounding reproductive health and rights.
It's possible for men and women to be friends without 'benefits'
We see it in romantic comedies, TV shows and books: a man and a woman meet and by default they fall in love. It's rare for the relationship to be purely platonic.
We have changed the way we date, but not why we date
Every college student has experienced this: You are scrolling through Facebook and happen upon an article telling you all the ways your generation is leading to the demise of American values.

ASU needs to create more innovative sex and relationship education
ASU prides itself on being No. 1 in Innovation. Banners boasting this status are plastered across campus, essentially impossible to miss. The glossy maroon and gold posters milk every last drop of this prestigious ranking.
Marriage is not for everyone
It's the resolution to almost every Disney film and romantic comedy: The bride walks down the aisle, the couple says "I do," and their happiness is sealed forever.
Romance does not always lead to love
For many, romance is the end-all-be-all for a relationship. It is widely believed that one cannot have a healthy or meaningful relationship without romance. This is a result of the media portraying romance as the ingredient for the perfect “happily ever after.”
Your love life affects your transcript
Students are endlessly being given advice for college success. We are told to network, join clubs, get a job. The list is infinite and often confusing and contradictory. However, there is one aspect of the college experience that students are given relatively little advice on: dating.
A relationship's value is not dependent on its length
In college, it seems like everyone adheres to relationship stereotypes — being in a serious, long-term relationship or casually dating and hooking up.
It's time to get to know your body
Bodies do some pretty astonishing things. Everything from love to sex to reproduction is such a personal experience, and each experience means a different thing to each person. It is extraordinary when you consider all the experiences your body has allowed you to have and will allow you to have.
Rape culture is normalized across college campuses
Rape culture isn't a crime of passion — it is a detrimental cultural issue stemming from systematically socialized gender norms.
Age does not determine the health of a relationship between consenting adults
Age is a weird concept, but for some reason we use it to sort through potential romantic partners. We use it as a factor to estimate the likelihood of a successful relationship, and dating outside of our age range is dismissed as a fling.
