A Varsity survey has revealed a correlation between academic fail- ure and sexual activity amongst Cambridge students.

The online study, which asked over a thousand members across the University in depth about their sex lives, shows that stu- dents at poorly-performing col- leges are more likely to have high average levels of sexual partners.

Peterhouse, the University’s oldest college, came 25th in the 2007 Tompkins Table, but 3rd in the promiscuity table, beaten only by Fitzwilliam and Homerton Col- leges. At Homerton, 26th in aca- demic achievement, students have had on average 7 sexual partners.

Christ’s College, 2nd in last year’s Tompkins list, reported the highest number of virgins, with 28% of respondents never having had sex.

Christ’s also reported the low- est usage of recreational drugs,

a category which Clare topped, where 55% of respondents are us- ers. Clare came 17th in last year’s Tompkins Table. Drugs usage across the university as a whole was 28%.

The results also revealed a range of activity according to subject choices. Almost half of all mathematicians have never had sex, whereas the average Medic has had at least eight sexual partners. CUSU President Mark Fletcher seemed unsurprised by the fi ndings.

He said: “It’s obvious that the mathematicians haven’t found the winning formula yet. But it’s good to see that ‘Doctors and Nurses’ is still a popular game.”

Surprisingly for such a similar subject, Vets come near the bot- tom of the table, with fewer than two average sexual partners per student. Perhaps their preference for animals extends into the bed- room.

Far from its nerdy reputation, the fi ndings show Cambridge to be a vibrant, sexually active uni-

versity, in some cases surprisingly so. 60% of those who have had sex have done it outdoors, and a quar- ter have tried S&M. Luckily for common rooms everywhere, only 15% have engaged in group sex.

King’s College emerged as the kinkiest college, as well has hav- ing the highest proportion of gay and bisexual students. Downing emerged as the straightest col- lege, with only 3% of gay and bi- sexual students, well down on the fi gure of 16% for the University as a whole.
