I am new to net singles and have just finished reading up
on submissions.  I actually know what an SO is!

I haven't seen any discussion about the changes in casual sexual
relationships that have been taking place in the last five to ten
years, so maybe someone can help me with my puzzlement.  On the 
radio this morning I heard a report on a survey of a small sample of 
Iowa college students. The survey showed a dramatic decrease in casual 
sexual relationships for these students, compared to the students of
5 to 10 years ago -- casual sexual encounters/relationships being
defined as those in which marriage is not the end goal.  In my own
small sample, my 20 year old sister and her 20ish friends, I find this
decrease also is evident.

Being a student of the "good old" sexual revolution days, I find this 
decrease curious.  Don't get me wrong - the days of "sexual freedom and
exploration" were not my idea of nirvana.  But it seems to me that 
the young'ins of today have swung quite far from the attitudes prevalent
back then.  How come?
