Alcohol, Sex, & Women
November 6, 2009
Having drunken sex is not only risky--it can also be humiliating and produce intense feelings of guilt and shame. Here is an excerpt from an American Council on Drug Education report on alcohol and sex in which a young woman recounts a drunken sexual encounter. I was at a party at a friend's apartment right before Thanksgiving. I got pretty tanked playing drinking games, and suddenly I was outside on this fire escape with a guy I'd met an hour earlier. I was doing something to him I'd rather not talk...

Sex and Depression Among Teen Girls
October 9, 2009
“I used to think it was cool to be a party girl, drink and hook up with cute guys--but what I really want is for someone to want to spend time with me and try to get to know me. After the sex, the guys are never interested in anything else—-its so depressing.” --Tanya, age 16 The truth is--the party girl, hook-up thing doesn’t work.
