CNN has a story on the rise of the counter-hookup culture on college campuses. The article highlights the decision of one young woman to refrain from hooking up because she "felt so empty then." CNN also notes the Princeton-based Love and Fidelity Network, of which Robert P. George is an advisory board member. Last year NAS published a review of three new "hook-up culture" books by Wendy Shalit in Academic Questions. Two of the three books she reviews are mentioned in the CNN article. Shalit is the author of A Return to Modesty: Discovering the Lost Virtue (1999), Girls Gone Mild: Young Women Reclaim Self-Respect and Find It's Not Bad to Be Good (2007), and The Good Girl Revolution: Young Rebels with Self-Esteem and High Standards (2008).
