Graduation is a time to look forward, and it's also a time to look back on what you did during your college years—and some students at Harvard University did a loooot of studying. A survey from the Harvard Crimson asked graduating students about their collegiate sex lives (among other things), and 24% of those who answered reported that they did not have any sex while in college. Like, any.
Of course, college is not about just getting some—but the Crimson's statistics on dating weren't that uplifting, either. Over 20 percent of respondents said they never been in a relationship while in college. And the median number of relationships that the others reported? Just one.
It's hard out there for a college student. (It gets better, guys!) It should be noted that these numbers aren't a perfect representation of the graduating class, but they're not insignificant either. The Boston Globe explains:
The Harvard Crimson study of the Class of 2015 was not a random sample of the student body. It did get email responses from 760 people — nearly half the senior class — though not all of the participants answered every question.
So who knows—maybe the survey underreported how many people weren't having sex, or how many were dating. Or maybe everyone who was getting it was too busy doing that to answer an email survey. Could the Crimson look into that, please?
