Hookup Culture
Noun
     The idea that casual sexual encounters are the best or only way to engage sexually in college, a set of practices that facilitate casual sexual encounters, and an organizational structure that supports them (Lisa Wade, American Hookup 2017). 

     As a sociology major researching nightclubs, Laney Emerson finds hookup culture to be just another socially constructed phenomenon that is worth questioning, analyzing, and concluding about. 
     As a twenty-something college student, Laney also finds herself immersed in the culture of hooking up, in which physically getting naked is often easier than admitting how you feel.

Sleeping With My Best Friend - (Complete) by ShellyWritesBooks
35 parts Complete Mature
Berkley and Dean had been best friends since they were in diapers. They were so close they could finish each other's sentences and had never spent more than a week apart in their entire lives. They grew up together because their Dads were best friends and co-owners of a fishing boat company they had started up together after college. Dean had always looked out for Berkley and tried to protect her from getting hurt by guys that had bad intentions, and she trusted him more than anyone else in the world. That's why, when they went off to college together and she decided she wanted to experience sex for the first time, she couldn't imagine doing it with anyone else but him. She wanted her first time to be with someone special, someone that meant a lot to her that she could trust. Dean refused at first because he was afraid it would mess up their friendship, but he eventually caved when he found out that refusing meant she was going to do it with a guy that he hated instead. He was so protective of her that he finally gave in. The deal was, it was just going to be one time and they'd go back to being just friends after, like it never happened. The problem was, they didn't think through all the consequences that came along with having sex with your best friend. **** Warning!

We're not in love. Our past is a dumpster fire. The best we are is friends with benefits... without the friends' part. Jake Harrison, USC's star quarterback, goes through girls faster than jock straps. If that's not disgusting enough, he's my best friend's brother and my prime motivation for celibacy. Transferring to UCLA means finally getting out of my dad's house. All I want is to stay under the social radar, make Dad proud by earning my paralegal certification, and get out of Los Angeles. When Jake learns I'm nearby, the cocky jerk will stop at nothing to rekindle what didn't work before. He thinks he's grown and matured past the boy who crushed my teenage heart. I think he's taken too many tackles into the turf, but when he proposes a stress management agreement during his season... I can't help but see his point. His seven-and-a-half-inch point. The last time we indulged, we got sloppy. Not the good kind-soul-crushing feelings-sloppy. My brain knows cutting ties was for the best, but the rest of my body still hates me. But I won't be made a fool again. This time, I have rules: No attachment. No cuddles. And no falling in love. Yet, when treacherous feelings resurface, I do the worst thing possible-Break my own rules. This time, whoever falls first isn't getting back up. Story is complete.
