Below is my comment on the following post.

Firstly it is important to remember is that this culture within colleges is dominate but not the entirety of the students. I am sure that there is a group of guys that are horrified by the dealings of their fellow students.
In addition this is true of the Australian Society. This attitude of sex is not deeply ingrained into Australian Culture (even global western culture)!!!
I was a male college student. I lived on campus in a co-ed college for a number of years at UQ and the behaviour of male students is no different there. Nudie runs, published sex activity, awards for the most sexually active students.
One of to things is happening here either the College Wardens are oblivious to it or they are turning a blind eye to it. Personally I believe it to be the later. It has certainly proved the old phase "What you don't know can't hurt you" WRONG!!
As a male college student I did not value it nor did I accept it. What this leaves you in college is a social outcast.
What I believe has happened in the recent years is a devaluing of sex. Sex in today's culture is for selfish gain, personal pleasure and gratification. It is not about intimacy or marriage but is more so treated as a sport. How many touch downs has the next person scored.
Sex is pleasurable.
Sex is normal.
BUT
Sex is not about self. It is special and what has been lost in our current culture is a value of sex.
As for the fix?
Not to be negative but I am not sure that it is possible. The reason is that this is so deeply ingrained into our culture and when it comes to culture it comes from each human heart. The human heart can be fixed but most people reject the fix for the human heart.
