I Doubt if This Story About College Students Will Surprise Many Here

[Tuckerfan]

Science discovers the obvious: Nerds don’t get laid.

MALE science students are a university’s most likely virgins while females who study arts subjects are the most sexually active, Australian researchers say.

A pilot study conducted at the University of Sydney saw 185 students, aged 16 to 25, quizzed on their sexual history and awareness of the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia.

It found arts students were "younger, more likely to be sexually active and to report having little or no knowledge of chlamydia’'.

"Males in the study were less likely to have had sex as a group compared to the group of females in the sample,‘’ said the study, published in the journal Sexual Health.

"Science students were also less likely to have had sex compared to their counterparts in other faculties.‘’

Now, this leads to a dilemma: Should one cruise the arts courses of a university in search of nookie? Or, given that astronomy has one of the highest number of women, should you go for the women who’re surrounded by guys with no idea of how to please them?

Yeah, this just in…beer makes you drunk.

This won’t keep people from continuing to discuss this article, but it’s clear that this is a hopelessly unscientific survey. Too few people were interviewed. There was no attempt to check if the differences between men and women were actually due to their gender or to differences in national origin or something else. There was no attempt to check if the differences in subject studied were due to that or to the different proportions of men and women in those subjects.

Easy: always quality over quantity - and the artsy girls should be more in the know

The researchers were going to conduct a proper survey, but they were too busy trying to pick up the arts chicks.

I was a female art student who was a virgin until after college was over.

Sigh.

It’s people like you who screw up the curve.

I’d say go for the Arts gals. At that age it’s all about quantity over quality, the idea being to get quantity to equal something other than zero.

Why, so you can catch Chlamydia?

Meh, you go to the clinic, get some antibiotics (or slap a rubber on your willy to begin with) and its all good.

[Duckster]

Perhaps the Aussie arts shelias need to spend more time in the bush to know about chlamydia.

Sounds like something a science student would say.

Depends on the astronomer… And the size of his telescope…
Or these days, how much hard drive space he’s got in his MacBook Pro

I can confirm this. I was a male science student, and I never had group sex in college.

Was Liberal Arts not a big enough clue?

[Cunctator]

Perhaps the science students are just more honest than the arts ones.
