I appreciate the clarification you added about the history of paying for sex- that was helpful in better understanding the historical content. I wonder if you could expand the "Relationships" heading? What does it mean to be "decoupled" and what evidence suggests that this is happening? Also maybe you could look into other research done about hookup culture in colleges? I might be wrong, but it looks like there is only one study that is listed here. Keep up the good work!

What you added was a helpful. Perhaps you could develop your section by adding a sentence or two explaining how the relationship was viewed in the early 1900's, from society, to the people involved. The second paragraph could also use an explanation to how and what "sexual morals" were loosened during that period. Additionally, there are a few grammatical errors so I'm going to copy and paste the old version, and the new one with my corrections below it. I also tried to revise the last sentence of the second paragraph because it didn't sound right. You can keep it or figure out a different way to say it. It's usually better to not begin a sentence with "yet" or "because". Hope this helps!

(OLD) The rise of hookups, a form of casual sex, has been described by evolutionary biologist Justin Garcia and others as a "cultural revolution" that had its beginnings in the 1920s.[12] While in the twenty-first century paid sex is not considered to fall in the category of casual sex in the 1900's-1930's paid sex was more than the exchange of money but rather the contact between humans without the ties of a relationship.[1] Technological advancements such as the automobile and movie theaters brought young couples out of their parents' homes, and out from their watchful eyes, giving them more freedom and more opportunity for sexual activity.[12] With the loosening sexual morals that came with sexual revolution in the 1960s, sex became uncoupled from relationships and non-marital sex became more socially accepted.[3][13] Some scholars, including Garcia, and Freitas, have found that dating, while it has not disappeared, has decreased as hookups have become more common.[10][14] By the mid-1990s, Freitas has found, hookups were an accepted form of relating among sexually active adults, especially on college campuses.[1] Yet in hookups women would face a harder social stigma,the more men women would have sex with their social status would go down, while the more women men had sex with their social status would go up.
