The important thing is that they reproduce the class structure.
A quarter of the class having 10 or more partners seems modestly remarkable to me. I know people who hit that number in college, but certainly not a quarter of the class.
I bet Harvard has the same number of liars as any other school
Two or three unique partners a year, every year? That doesn't seem all that unusual, for someone who was sexually active but not in one or a few long term relationships. About a quarter sounds maybe a little high, but not very.
Alternatively, maybe there are coeds who don't let on how many people they've slept with, but are honest about having slept with more than 10 in a study like this.
10 or more at a time would earn Harvard students a reputation as truly exceptional.
3: The graduates mostly go into finance. It has to be a higher number of liars.
Dry as in dry spell? For the virgins?
8: Please, like you can think of anything else that rhymes with "high".
10: Good point! I'm stumped!
9 is just silly.
Could have gone a different direction -- "Our Stoned Virgin Elite".
I thought it meant "dry" as in the opposite of this.
They did a similar survey on Oxbridge students about 7 or 8 years back and got pretty much the same results.

Birch, you must be drippin' with a thick southern drawl.
I'm grossed out for having written that.
20: the blog is an eclectic self-abasement forum.

Went whicker-whack!
Showing up late, but I have data. This national data (from 1992) would say that the reported numbers are only a bit unusual for the demographic. Around 20% of 18-24-year-olds reported having 11+ partners. I can't tell what claim the article is making about not having had sex - that the reported students never had had sex, or just hadn't while at school. The former is about 8% of the 18-24s.
