Over the past week, 50 students were asked to take an anonymous survey about sex, virginity, waiting until marriage and a few other saucy topics. Turns out, Georgia Southern students were more than willing to share their thoughts and most intimate details on their “first time” and all the times after. While some students talked about sex as a casual pastime, others were adamant about only doing the deed with their future spouse. Here’s what some of your peers had to say about sex. How did students respond to these questions?:

Are you a virgin?

42% said yes (21 students)

58% said no (29 students)

What is your gender?

Female: 57.45% (27 students)

Male: 40.43% (19 students)

What are your opinions on waiting until marriage? (students could choose more than one answer)

I think it’s old fashioned 18%
