Arts Majors Have More Sex Than Computer Science Majors? Say It Ain’t So!

Hold on to your wigs and ascots so they don't blow off at this earth shattering news, but apparently a new study has found that students studying the Arts have more sex than those studying computer science, physics, and dentistry. Known informally (by me) as the "No Shit, Sherlock" study, I'm left to wonder if they also studied social awkwardness among the participants. 

According to The Huffington Post (link below), a British student newspaper surveyed over 11,000 students and determined that those majoring in the Arts or Arts-related fields were getting infinitely more action than those in Science or Science-related majors. 

According to a survey by British student newspaper The Tab, 10 percent of computer scientists currently in higher education are still virgins whereas only one percent of students in the arts haven't, well, you know.

In the survey, 11,549 students were asked about their bedroom activity, which was then broken down into which subject each student was majoring in.

Fifteen percent of students polled said they had had intercourse before the legal age of 15, while 19 percent said they were 17 years of age when they first had sex, and 22 percent said they were 18-years-old.

The highest percentage of virgins went to computer science while nine percent of physics students were still holding out. Dentistry clocked in five percent, and chemistry, law, engineering, geography and medicine were at four percent. The national average of virgins in Britain is five percent.

Art and sociology pupils were most likely to have had sex with one percent retaining virgin status, while history of art, philosophy, languages, business, and politics followed with just two percent of students disclosing their virginity. In the same survey, it was also revealed that by the time students reached the middle of their higher education, they already have had an average of 8.2 sexual partners.

The silver lining in all of this, I suppose, is the fact that the arts majors rarely get to use their degrees in any sort of practical, professional way. Science majors, on the other hand, almost certainly won't have to ever learn how to make a latte. I tip my hat to you, science majors, for playing the long con. Well played. Now, if you wouldn't mind tipping your barista.
