More sex on paper, but less in the sheets

In another example of how virility is wasted on the young, a survey shows that college students are having less sex but writing about it more publicly in student magazines. Most of these magazines are at Ivy League universities and yet, it seems that students at elite schools are "gettin' some" less often than typical college students: A 2006 survey of Harvard undergrads showed that while they may possess superior SATs, their ability to score elsewhere is weak, and that half were virgins. Even adjusting for the ugly/annoying nerd factor, as well as the prudish/overachieving/first generation immigrant factor, this is truly, truly troubling news. How will these institutions be able to produce the next world leader to negotiate a lasting peace in the Middle East, when their students can't even negotiate a tasty piece in the middle of the night? JFK must be spinning (while probably also performing other body movements) in his grave!
