UW-Madison is one of the most sexually active college student bodies in the U.S.
Work hard, play hard
UW-Madison is the fourteenth most sexually active college student body in America. Collegiate Sexual Exposure surveyed 2,000 current and former students to talk about what happens between the sheets at their campus. They asked people to talk about sexual activity, degrees of indecent exposure, and degrees of protection used.
UW-Madison, in the fourteenth spot, averages 4.5 sexual partners. Temple University more than doubled UW-Madison with 10.8 sexual partners on average.
They used the following formula to figure out the degree of exposure:
CollegeStats.org defines ‘degree of exposure’ as how many steps of separation exist within your range of sexual partners. A degree of exposure of ‘1’ is the number of partners you have had, while a degree of exposure of ‘2’ is the number of partners you have had plus all your partner’s partners–and so on.
With this special formula, CollegeStats.org figured the average number of exposures a college student has is with 169 people. Imagine the numbers for students who go to Temple.
When asked if they wear protection, 38 percent of people always use condoms, 24 percent said they usually do, 14 percent said sometimes, four percent said they only do when their partner asks, and 15 percent said they never do.
The survey also broke down the percentage of those who use protection based on gender. There was an equal number of responses between men and women who always use condoms. There was a slightly higher number of men who never do at 53 percent. Out of the four percent who said they only wear protection when their partner asks, 75 percent of responders identified as male.
