Don’t Let Careless Actions Cause STDs and Unwanted Emotional TiesCollege students more than ever are facing numerous pressures including relationship pressures. Students are practicing more casual sex than ever with multiple partners, which can include one night stands, or friends with benefits. The problems with these behaviors as fun as they may
 are that the risk of STD’s is on the rise and the emotional attachment that is ever prevalent. As a college student who may have practiced some of these risky behaviors I have found it alarming that not knowing someone’s past could be a death sentence. Most college age men around the age of 20 do not think of the risks of the more serious STDs such as HIV or Herpes, I know I surely did not. Having casual sex is a very risky behavior that could lead to many bad consequences for one night of release, such as unwanted pregnancy or incurable STDs. One night stands are easy because they require little to no effort to pull off and have no “emotional” ties. The unfortunate truth is that one night stands impose high unwanted risk, and in fact in some cases can include emotional attachment.Not all college men are involved with random hook ups; many of them in fact want lasting monogamous relationships. After experiencing both sides of the dating circle I can easily say that monogamous relationships actually are more rewarding than a hook up. Relationships take a lot of work; they are not easy and are often viewed as a challenge; however the rewards are great. Relationships can help reduce stress and depression in students since they will have someone to talk to that they trust. There is little stress about risks since both people involved know each other well and can make mature decisions. The benefits sure outweigh the cons for a relationship instead of one night stands.
