"June 28 was #GlamourDateNight, and many of you (hopefully) went out. Perhaps you&amp;#x27;re still out. So...how did it go?! The number one complaint we&amp;#x27;ve heard from women is that they&amp;#x27;re not even really sure if they&amp;#x27;re on a date a lot of times (73 percent of you told us that!). Things have become way too casual, haven&amp;#x27;t they? Rightly or wrongly, our generation has been branded as the &amp;quot;hookup culture.&amp;quot; But are we really having more casual sex than previous generations? Not according to this recent study by The Journal of Sex Research. Yeah, he&amp;#x27;s cute, but is he boyfriend material? Researchers collected responses from adults ages 18 to 25 and compared them with surveys of the same age group taken in the &amp;amp;#8216;80s and &amp;amp;#8216;90s. According to their findings, &amp;amp;#8220;Respondents from 2004 to 2012 did not report more total sex partners, more partners during the past year, or more frequent sex than respondents from 1988 to 1996.&amp;amp;#8221; So why does the current generation have a rep for casual sex? Here&amp;#x27;s one thing that we are doing differently from past generations: According to the study, millennials were less likely to report having sex with a spouse or regular partner and more likely to report having sex with a casual date. Researchers believe this is indicative of the fact that we&amp;amp;#8217;re getting married later in life&amp;amp;mdash;not necessarily that we don&amp;#x27;t want exclusivity and long-term partners. In other words, our generation isn&amp;#x27;t necessarily anti-commitment&amp;amp;#8212;we&amp;#x27;re just waiting longer before making one. Speaking of hookups vs. commitment, let&amp;#x27;s chat about last night? Did anyone do something fun? Have a question? Need to vent? Leave a comment below so we can all chat about it."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
