Sex. It is a common subject of conversation at the Agrarian Metropole, and touches the lives of all students whether you have sex or not. Some of us may have experienced a sexual renaissance during our time at the university. Others may have less sex now than before. For others, the student life has, or continues to be, a time devoid of sexual activity. How much sex do we really have? What differences are there between the students? The pandemic has changed much of student life. Has it also changed sexual habits?

We have unearthed the habits of 403 students. This accounts for 6,6% of the students at NMBU. 70,6% of these were female, 80,6% were heterosexual. The majority of these were between the ages of 21 and 26. Of all participants in the survey, 8,2% have not engaged in any sexual activity.
Sexual orientation Of the forementioned sexual orientation, 13,6% were homosexual, bisexual or pansexual. Four individuals defined themselves as asexual and 17 were unsure of their orientation. Why not? Those asked why they have not engaged in sexual activity, replied that they had not “found the right one” or that they “had no desire”. Eight individuals replied that they did not want to or that they hesitated because of fear or shame. Whether it is fear of physical discomfort, risk of falling in love, impurity or disappointment, we do not know. There was no reply whether they had refrained from sex due to religious reasons.
