More brain, less ass

Yeah, 6.0221415e23 % of statistics are made up, but that doesn't mean they can't be amusing.

By the age of 19, 80% of US males and 75% of women have lost their virginity, and 87% of college students have had sex. But this number appears to be much lower at elite (i.e. more intelligent) colleges. According to the article, only 56% of Princeton undergraduates have had intercourse. At Harvard 59% of the undergraduates are non-virgins, and at MIT, only a slight majority, 51%, have had intercourse. Further, only 65% of MIT graduate students have had sex.

The student surveys at MIT and Wellesley also compared virginity by academic major. The chart for Wellesley displayed below shows that 0% of studio art majors were virgins, but 72% of biology majors were virgins, and 83% of biochem and math majors were virgins! Similarly, at MIT 20% of 'humanities' majors were virgins, but 73% of biology majors. (Apparently those most likely to read Darwin are also the least Darwinian!)

Does that mean I get to compare my ass input to computer nerd standards and not heteronormative levels of intercourse?

I guess (brain == math && brain != artistic talent) according to the summarizers.

Revise to "major in something that appeals to socially awkward types, get less sex" and you're on to something. This could be big, I tell you!

Also, am I the only one disappointed to find this thread wasn't about someone claiming large booty being inversely proportional to intelligence?

I like big butts and I cannot lie!

Doh. I didn't notice this hit Slashdot too.

Smarter Teens Have Less Sex

Simpler then that...

Teenagers with low IQ normally are not left alone to do what they will. Because parents don't trust them to do the smart thing because they arn't, combined with the fact they get usually get extra adult help means less exposure with other kids, and the oposit sex feels guilty about sexual activity with that group, so combined that will make a lower rate.

High IQ teens stop and think and realize that risks of Sex as a teenager (STD, Pregnacny) will get in away with their life plans being with higher IQ society expects more from them with their life plans so they stay away from such risks. Basicly I am not going to let a Baby get in my way to become a doctor. After I get my degree and a steady job then I may focus on having a family, Logical reasoning by people with higher IQ.

Teens in the middle are not pressured to become a Doctor or whatever so they have less ambitions for life and figure it may be worth the risk. Combined with the fact they may not think things fully out and let biological pressures take over what people say they should do.

Given the poor spelling, random capitalization, and generally dreadful grammar, I can draw only one conclusion: You must have gotten tons of action in high school.

Now I am conflicted. Half of my inner geek wants to laugh and take the joke, and the other wants to rail on you for creating causation from correlation. But either way, I'm posting on /.

I doubt it's less chance for sex. More that there's a lot else to do that's more fun. Like, writing a beautiful piece of code, surely beats wasting a night on hot sex.

I'll go cry now.

In Soviet Russia, the government controls the commerce.

Seriously, even among Slashdot readers, I doubt many of you guys would marry someone smarter than you.

Of course not, but mostly because it's really hard to find someone smarter than me.

Patriotism is akin to racism.

Free condoms are partly birth control (better than nothing), partly awkward situations (watch for cute girls taking some), and mostly for practical jokes.

On our campus, there were two very large mixing bowls on a table, and two cute girls sitting behind said table handing them out.

One way: Grab as many as you can and run. Or just calmly take a whole bowl, muttering about how it won't even last you a week...

Another: Slowly count them out loud as you take them. "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning, Wednesday lunch, Wednesday evening, three for all night Wednesday... Thursday, Friday, Saturday..."

Or count them another way: "Jenny, Katie, Sarah -- whoops, better take three for Sarah... Becky, Erin, Samantha..."

Or hang a calendar on your wall and tape them to it, for when people visit. Or make a condom collage! Endless possibilities!

DRM? Trusted Computing? Fine, but not with my code [gnu.org].

Seriously, though, to be here on campus with 15,000 other young women and still a virgin

Which just goes to show - regardless of what those Wild Co-eds On Spring Break Woo-Hoo! videos seem to show, it's just as hard to get some if you're a lesbian.
