Hookups Outside of Relationships
After the initial first pages that everyone filled out, respondents were asked to fill out either Section A or Section B. Section B was for respondents currently not in relationships. 166 out of 251 (66%) of survey respondents filled out this section.
Only those respondents who were not in relationships and who had hooked up with someone during their time at Brown, (even if it was not during the current school-year) filled out this question; 55 male respondents and 86 female respondents (85% of respondents not in relationships) answered this question.
These reports were all for respondents’ last hookup while at Brown (not necessarily during the 08/09 school year.) There were 5 female and 6 male reports of hookups that took place outside of a relationship with a partner they had not previously hooked up with before, and on a day in which alcohol was not imbibed. There were 21 female and 11 male reports of first hookups in which alcohol was imbibed. There were 23 female and 9 male reports of hookups that took place with partners they had previously hooked up with before and on days in which alcohol was not imbibed.
