If you’re a college virgin apparently you’re not alone
Maybe people seriously are just watching Netflix and chilling
Journalists trying to decode college sex is pretty much equivalent to me taking an Orgo exam as a Gender Studies major. In other words, they fail every time.
But that hasn’t stopped them from trying.
Recently, New York Magazine published a series of profiles in college sex. It’s another attempt to figure out why we drink too much, have too much sex, and can’t seem to get our shit together for long enough to admit we have feelings.
Part of these profiles involved polling around 700 college students to try and better understand their sex lives. Apparently people aren’t having as much sex as we think, considering 40% of these students responded that they are still virgins.
If this is true, UVA should consider using the “free condoms at Health Services budget” to cover printing instead.
However, UVA students aren’t buying this statistic.
“I feel like UVA is definitely a more sexually active campus than most colleges. Here, I bet it’s more than that,” says fourth year Sami Thurber.
A third year, Tina, wonders just “how many of them are born again virgins.”
It’s important to remember that this sample number is very small scale.
So it’s possible people are actually leaving Trinity together at 2am to go home and play Bingo. But probably not.
