Answer to Question 2
- Another very important reason for the high rate of STIs among college students is that sex and drugs, mainly alcohol, are intimately linked on college and university campuses. Alcohol is routinely a part of college social interactions, and sex is clearly one common form of social interaction. If a couple are drinking small to moderate amounts of alcohol in the course of an evening, and as that evening progresses, they mutually agree that they want to make love, that is their choice as consenting adults. The problem comes when larger amounts of alcohol (or some other drug) twists the scenario so that they make irresponsible sexual choices, such as unsafe, unprotected sexual activities. Alcohol may also render one member of the couple unable to consent freely (or legally) to sexual advances. Without that consent, if sexual penetration occurs, it is rape.
- Alcohol use has been shown to contribute significantly to college students' decisions to engage in sexual intercourse and to participate in various indiscriminate sexual behaviors, such as casual sex and sex with multiple partners. Also, studies have found that the influence of alcohol reduces the likelihood of safer sexual behaviors such as condom use or other contraceptive practices. When intoxicated, some students tend to become single-minded, focusing on the pleasure and excitement of the sexual behaviors of the moment, and they lose sight of the long-term risks involved in those activities.
