Responses to the Hook-up Culture at WMF

I will be speaking on the topic "Responses to the 'Hook-up' Culture: In Search of Sexual Integrity" at the World Meeting of Families in September.  Here is a summary of my slated talk: 

These days it seems as though coarseness has replaced courtship, but there are signs that a new springtime of sexual integrity is dawning. Drawing on personal experience, current data, and the inspiring work of many, Bachiochi tells the curious story of casual sex today. The reality is that fewer people hook up than is perceived; fewer, still, enjoy it. But the hook-up culture remains pervasive and has created a relationship vacuum. Participate in this multimedia presentation to learn more about how young men and women can find long-lasting, fulfilling love.

In terms of a "new springtime," I intend to highlight the courageous work of those associated with the Love & Fidelity Network (and the many college-based groups that have emerged following the Anscombe Society at Princeton), as well as David and Amber Lapp's work, and the new I Believe in Love website, among others. 

Should MOJ readers know of other organizations, churches, or individuals that are showing signs of success in helping women and men find both reasons and strength to resist the temptations of the "hook-up" culture, do let me know:  [email protected].
