No Sex Please, We're Oxford
I stumbled over this article and it made me laugh. I went to University of Kent (I just graduated etc) and as some of you may or may not know, I well had a few relationships and sex and shit like that. I believe this article explains to a certain extent why that is so.

Oxford students are officially getting the least action in the country. In a study by leading website virginstudent.com, we have been disclosed as the most chaste students in Britain. And, allegedly, we don't even make up for it with romance or kinkiness, as those distinctions go to Cambridge and Brighton respectively.
Unless we intend to keep making our parents very happy, it appears that we should take a leaf out of the University of Kent's book. Britain's most promiscuous undergraduates would probably be too busy getting laid to read this article. Apparently, at Oxford, we're just repressed. Admittedly, we are worked harder than everyone else, but surely that should require greater participation in relaxing activities? One sex-starved undergraduate said: "I think it's representative of how uptight Oxford students are, not just about sex, but about everything."
Even nationally, students' sex lives are slipping, with most students having had less than five partners. Although this might sound like quite a lot, the same survey shows that 33% of students have only had sex with one person, with a further proportion still virgins. Based on questionnaire responses by over 1,600 students, the survey severely damages Oxford's reputation for hedonism. Just 7% of us have woken up next to a stranger with no idea what happened the night before.
However, there is good news. As a whole, Britain's students can be proud of their commitment to safe sex, with only 20% of students having ever been unsafe, and those getting the most taking the most care. We remain optimistic about romance, as 65% of us believe in love at first sight, and a politically correct 89% put personality before looks. Indeed, the notion of sex as fun is tellingly absent from these survey results.
One student commented: "Of course, we're under considerable pressure, both financial and academic, but for Oxford students in particular it may be time to stop working and worrying quite so hard and put our time to better use."

Oh just to add, the Times voted Kent as the best looking university as well. (Article can be found here.)

I didn't realise it when I went, but it appears Kent is just geared up for sex and good looking people.

Re: No Sex Please, We're Oxford
When choosing a hospital I always pick the one that a poll of a small amount of people voted best for free shower gel.

Re: No Sex Please, We're Oxford
The reason why there was not more sex at Oxford was that the average Oxfordian was not tall enough.

Re: No Sex Please, We're Oxford
Not in computer science lectures thats for sure CF!
Not that I would know, as ive never been to a computer science lecture but I can guess.
Try the venoir on Friday night and the works on Monday nights.
Wednesdays is full of beautiful sporty types as well.
<3
:edit:
Also like to add the loft and hahas have some good looking women in the evenings and level 4 in the group workspace area for hot girls, level 4 computer room in the library for more hot girls and then level 2 communal area for more good looking girls.
Pyschology lectures are as are English Literature lectures, they are a hot bed of young fresh talent.
If you like french and spanish girls I would recommend Politics lectures.
If you like the chinese/indian/pakistani vibes I would strongly suggest Business lectures. Its easy pickings.
And finally if you are into the japanese connection go to chaucer college (its on campus) sign yourself in, say you are giving tuition to some random student or you have a lecture there.
The japanese girls are hot and quite sex starved.

Re: No Sex Please, We're Oxford
Alternative interpretation of the same data: Students at oxford are more secure of themselves than those at other universities and hence have less need to lie to people doing polls about sex.

Re: No Sex Please, We're Oxford
Nod, It's a good thing you weren't interviewed for the poll, as your 10 year tenure in various British universities would, no doubt, have skewed the statistics closer to 'universities are a bad place for ginger people to have sex'.
