Recently, new research has come out, “in what the researchers say, is the largest, most comprehensive national survey of Americans' sexual behavior since 1994.” It offers “detailed findings on how often Americans have sex, with whom, and how they respond. In all, 5,865 people, ranging in age from 14 to 94, participated in the survey.”
So now you’re thinking, “wow, people actually study this stuff?! Hot damn, I’m out here LIVING it! Who cares what a bunch of researches find, this is my LIFE and I’m livin’ the dream!” If you are a boy with that response, here is a statistic that I hope knocks you off your smug, high horse: “85 percent of the men said their latest sexual partner had an orgasm, while only 64 percent of the women reported having an orgasm in their most recent sexual event. One-third of women experienced genital pain during their most recent sex, compared to 5 percent of men.” Well now you know, anonymous-frat-bro, you’re not as amazing in bed as you might think – despite the number of people you hook-up with! And girls, keep this in mind if you are just looking for someone to hook-up with casually, just because somebody hooks-up with a lot of people DOES NOT guarantee that they will show you an O so sweet time (if you know what I mean)!

When Texting Met Sexting
According to new research, it appears as though there is a correlation between how many texts a teenager sends in a day and how sexually promiscuous and drug-abusing they are. Some believe, as one sophomore girl from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor said, “People who text more probably have a more active social life then those who do not. Therefore the ‘hyper-texters’ probably engage in more sexual and illicit activities because they have more people to do it with.”
However, the new research isn’t “suggesting that "hyper-texting" leads to sex, drinking or drugs, but say it's starting to see an apparent link between excessive messaging and that kind of risky behavior…It found that about one in five students were hyper-texters and about one in nine are hyper-networkers - those who spend three or more hours a day on Facebook and other social networking websites. About one in 25 falls into both categories.”
So maybe our anonymous sophomore girl is correct or maybe being more textually active does indeed lead to being more sexually active. Regardless, the real question is, what does that say about all of the girls in Greek Life who BBM and text as if they were getting paid by the second? Let’s just say it gives a whole new meaning to “pin me.”

Taxicab Confessions: Ann Arbor
For some reason, people often think that when you are checking out at a store, riding in the back of a taxi cab, or eating a meal at a restaurant, the people working at the register, driving, or serving your food are not just like you and me. Well listen up folks, they are; and THEY CAN HEAR AND SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
Here is an actual account from an Ann Arbor taxi cab driver from this past weekend:
“Most people that ride in taxi cabs can at least wait ‘till they get back to the pad but some choose otherwise!!! It's a little uncomfortable to be driving along the crazy streets of Ann Arbor and have someone doing the funky monkey in the backseat. For instance, I had a group the other night that at first seemed to be the usual cab-ride-home-from-the-bar, but then, all of the sudden, they start making-out! And then the guy tells me take it around the block a few times, LOL!!! At the time of the ladies stop, she got out (not seeming to be bothered at all by what she had just done in my backseat) and then the guy comments, in an attempt to play off his pimpness, ‘I have to call my girlfriend.’ So basically my cab was used as the Motel 6 of their “business”. I don’t know if doing it in a cab is some people’s idea of romantic, but this cab driver can do without the added distractions while driving...”
Well there you have it, ‘Turned On’ blog readers, be a little more conscious of where you are choosing to hook-up. You might not be as alone as you feel!
P.S. if you’re reading this blog and happen to realize this was YOU featured in this story or it was someone you know…sorry. That’s really embarrassing.
