BOOK DESCRIPTION
Expanding his investigations, the author spent eighteen months interviewing 136 couples in fourteen colleges in five parts of the United States. He discovered that the couples involved represented all types in the college population, and that the reasons they chose to live together were as varied as the personalities themselves.
Among their reasons for living together, the students listed: the alienation of the student in the multi-versity atmosphere, the conflict of values and the difficulty of communication between students and their parents, the shift from traditional restraints to a more libertarian sex code, the prohibitive cost of education and housing, a way out of the dating rat race," and a better situation for study.
In the body of the book, twelve couples tell their own stories - how they feel about their parents, their new sexual freedom, and the broad sociological impact of their actions. One girl reveals that she is merely tolerating the arrangement until her boyfriend is ready to marry her. Another says she proposed the arrangement to a male acquaintance as a mutual act of social protest and instrument of change.
This book, with its balanced representation of the forces inherent in the college students' rapid accommodation to the widespread pattern, serves a timely and valuable purpose. It siphons off the shock value of the material, thereby helping to prevent any precipitous action. It serves as a guide and provides the basis for an orderly program for further in-depth studies of student cohabitation by psychologists, sociologists, ministers, university guidance counselors, and administrators in colleges and universities across the nation.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
This book analyzes traditional forms of courtship and marriage in the United States along with emerging patterns of interaction involving intimacy and sex.
The editors ascertain the reasons for these innovative life-styles and speculate as to the forms which sexual and erotic behavior will take in the future.
Traditionally, such emotion-oriented behavior supposedly occurred only within the context of marriage. Today lovers, friends and strangers are experimenting and re-defining the word love.
In place of sexual exclusiveness married couples are now “swinging”; others choose to “live-together” rather than to marry. In covering this broad spectrum of behavior Jack and Joann DeLora have gathered their material from scientific research journals as well as from the publications of the popular and underground press, plus women liberation, homosexual and singles organizations. The variety of the selected readings are illustrative of the important trends shaping our new intimate life-styles.
