The universities with the most sexual partners

The results from our sex survey are in


Last week 12,000 students told us about their sex lives in our sex survey. Now we can reveal the average number of sexual partners per person at each university.

Northumbria claim to have the most sex, dominating the charts with an average of 11 sexual partners per person.

In second place falls Oxford Brookes with 9.72, trumping neighbouring, and usually superior, Oxford with an average of 6.3.

Other big hitters included Aberdeen with 9.49, Newcastle scoring 9.48, and Trent with 9.6 partners per person. As a few of the Northern partying powerhouses, it’s no surprise this trio rank highly.

Falling quite a way behind the rest is Lincoln, with a ranking of 4.97. It will not shock anybody that Warwick comes in second to last.
