Study says undergrads have rebound sex to cope
RELATIONSHIPS
MAC LEANDER

Rebound sex is no made-up notion.
A study by a University of Missouri psychologist, Lynne Cooper, was recently published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior revealing, for the first time, that rebound sex is a real phenomenon among undergraduate college students. The study consisted of 170 undergrads going through a breakup who reported in an online diary about their sexual experiences.
The report revealed that students' sexual activity elevated immediately post-breakup and then declined as time passed. As predicted, those who were dumped were more likely to use rebound sex to cope. Dr. Christian Vargas, a psychologist at the University of Kansas' Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), said that sex is a commonly used coping device.
"Sex, like many other behaviors can be used as a coping mechanism to deal with distress," Vargas said. "Coping behaviors are learned, and
which coping mechanism a person chooses to use depends on what they have used in the past and what has been helpful previously in relieving painful emotions"
Vargas notes that a person experiences a sense of loss and a series of agonizing emotions after a breakup. She gave alternatives for one's support system including friends, family, valued organizations and such as like exercises and reading. "Like any stressful situation, when going through a breakup, it is important to have space to talk about and experience your reactions in a healthy way..." Vargas said.
For some KU students, the concept of rebound sex is upsetting. Chris Reynolds, a senior from Overland Park, feels that everyone has the right to do what he or she wants with his or her body, but sex should have meaning behind it. He has seen his friend go through a breakup and witnessed the negative effects of rebound sex.
"I feel like if someone is in a relationship where they regularly have sex with their boyfriend or girlfriend, it has
meaning behind it," Reynolds said. "Rebound sex could be a way of trying to get that feeling back, but I could tell my friend just wasn't getting that."
Reynolds said he doesn't think that there are necessarily healthier alternatives because people want what they want. This isn't the case for all KU students. Clare Szepski, a junior from Orange, Calif., thinks there is no reason to use rebound sex to feel better about a breakup.
Szepski has seen her friends succumb to rebound sex as an outlet because they are emotionally unstable and feel helpless. She said it's more challenging to harness emotions than it is to act out, specifically through sex, and the media may very well be to blame.
"The media's influence on society is usually the culprit," Szepski said. "It's the lack of knowledge and experience dealing with breakups in healthy ways. There are so many instances in the media where rebound or revenge sex is presented as a way to deal."
CELEBRITY DEATH
'Ghostbuster' dies at 69
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Edited by Emily Hines
"Caddyshack." "National Lampoon's Animal House."
"Ghostbusters." "Groundhog Day." "Stripes."
Those titles are some of the most beloved and widely quoted comedy classics of the last thirty years. They're also Harold Ramis' filmography.
Ramis, the writer-director-actor who quietly and often off-screen created an unparalleled and hugely influential body of laughs, died Monday. He was 69.
He suffered for several years from an autoimmune disease that caused inflammation and damage to his blood vessels, and died at his home in the Chicago suburbs, surrounded by family and friends, his talent agency said.
His rattled a modern comedy world Ramis helped build. His legacy as a father figure to generations of comedians was appropriately captured in Judd Apatow's "Knocked Up," in which Ramis was cast as Seth Rogen's father, he said, "because we all saw him as the dream dad."
"Harold Ramis made almost every movie which made me want to become a comedy director," Apatow said. "These films are the touchstones of our lives."
Chevy Chase, whom Ramis directed in "Caddyshack" and "National Lampoon's Vacation," called him "a great man who shunned unnecessary Hollywood-type publicity."
"It was Harold who acted out and gave me the inspiration for the character of Clark Griswold," Chase said Monday. "I was really copying Harold's impression of Clark."
Ramis was memorably nebish: curly haired, gangly and bespectacled. He played Ghostbuster scientist Egon Spengler (naturally, the one with all the ideas), and Bill Murray's Army recruit buddy in "Stripes."
