In today's paper, Ittai Orr writes that students at Columbia do not have enough sex. To support his argument, he cites a discussion he had with a representative of the Gay Health Advocacy Project:
I spoke with a Gay Health Access Program [sic] (GHAP) representative about sex at this school—he collects this data as part of the HIV tests he administers—and even individuals he called really hot reported having sex maybe three times in the last year. [Emphasis mine].
Now I will admit that people at Columbia do not spend all their time having sex. For example, I am in a philosophy lecture with upward of 100 students, but I have never once observed my classmates engaging in any sort of carnal behavior during class. However, I can't say for sure that Columbians have no sex, as most Columbians are not in my philosophy class (and even those who are have approximately 165 hours a week outside of class to partake in all manner of sinful acts). All of my knowledge about the sex lives of Columbians is anecdotal, so I can't make any sort of sweeping statement on this topic.
Of course, Orr (probably no relation to Bobby, though I haven't confirmed) is not quite so in the dark—he has at his disposal the data collected by GHAP. But the center of his argument here is the claim that even people who are "really hot" are having little to no sex.
