Much attention has been devoted in recent years to students “hooking up” on collegeand university campuses across the United States. Hookups broadly entail sexual behaviors that range from anal and vaginal intercourse to oral sex, masturbation, and other physically pleasurable activities. In this article, we synthesize the literature on college hookup cultures. Specifically, we use sexual scripting theory to analyze and critique existing peer-reviewed studies.Ultimately, we present five themes pertaining to the study of hookup phenomena at U.S. collegesand universities. This article concludes with several recommendations for making future hookup studies more inclusive of undergraduates from a range of racial/ethnic groups, sexual orientations, socioeconomic and religious backgrounds, and postsecondary institutional contexts, something previous scholars have largely neglected to do intheir research.
