In this episode, we explore the question: How do Wake Forest first-year students, who want a relationship, find and secure one? Using interviews with our peers and sources from our class, we found that there are three main stages of a relationship: Hookup, Exclusivity, and Dating. We explored our peers' sexual projects and the ethics surrounding hookup culture to find that open communication is necessary for progression in the aforementioned stages.
