Med students get more sex

MEDICAL students have sex with more people than students of any other discipline, a survey has found.

A survey of more than 1000 students at Cambridge University found those studying medicine had an average of eight sexual partners in their lives so far.

Student union president Mark Fletcher told student newspaper Varsity the results came as no surprise.

“It’s obvious that the mathematicians haven’t found the winning formula yet,” Mr Fletcher said.

“But it’s good to see that doctors and nurses is still a popular game.”

The poll, which was carried out by the newspaper, found theology students had the fewest number of sexual partners with two.

Political science students had seven, while those studying history had six partners.

Those enrolled in language courses averaged five sexual partners.

But don't worry if you are not the brightest student - the survey found poor performers tended to have a higher than average number of sexual partners.

About 25 per cent of respondents said they had tried sado-masochism and 40 per cent said they had had a one-night stand, but more than 60 per cent said they had never been checked for sexually transmitted diseases.
