Fail: Virginity Rates of Chemistry Undergraduates
by mitch on May 11 2008 (8227 Views)I've been recently pointed to some surprisingly high virginity statistics for undergraduate chemistry majors at MIT and Wellesley college. Wellesley's Graph is below.

Chemistry majors are tied for 1st with the mathematicians for their lack of sexual hedonism, but the major take-home message is computer science majors are a bunch of liars. MIT's graph is below.

At least at MIT the percentage is lower and we're not tied for 1st. But to lose so solidly to the physicists does sting a bit. In my experience, undergraduate chemists are a bunch of drunken horny kids, so I'm not sure what is going wrong on the east coast. I'll put my faith in "the transforming power of chemistry" to remedy this problem.
These statistics are from a college newspaper survey way back in 2001, so take it with a grain of salt. Yes, I was an undergraduate chemist in 2001...

I'm usually too busy running a column to go out and run someone else's.
*rimshot*
"Lack of sexual knowledge?" Speak for yourself, man.
wait, i'm a little confused: why isn't the number for MIT 100% across the board?
haha. just because we don't sleep at MIT doesn't mean we don't do other stuff. besides we have more important things to do like killer robot rampages and exploding things http://media.mymit.info/blog_images/mit_predictions.png
Over 70% does seem very oddly high.
Maybe they were all so tired from studying for finals they thought virginity meant the lack of ever setting foot in the state of Virginia?
Keep in mind the generation who was in undergrad back in 01 is currently finishing grad school/postdocing, look where that's going.
I have no clue what went wrong with my eastern compatriots. We were doing just fine on this coast thank you.
Huh? I've noticed the undergrads coming in starting in 02 have been horrible. No attention span, very self-focused individuals and poor work ethic. But that's just my observation...
it's because you weren't looking hard enough at your own folk. or the people before you. or the people before them. something aristotle said and whatnot.
Maybe this has something to do it for the chem engs:

So Mitch, you surf craigslist looking for men wanting casual encounters?
Haha, apparently...
If only I had been aware of this data as an undergrad, I would've spent more time chasing business majors than pre-meds
I think your best bet would be Studio Art chicks.
just wanted to point out that comp sci having a 40% virginity rate at wellesley is believable. take into consideration that everyone at wellesley is a woman. then take into consideration the appeal of a female comp sci major, especially if you stereotype that they tend to be asian. laid, and laid.
[...] the study was conducted by Counterpoint Magazine at Wellesley [...]
What the hell is this horseshit? I ended up on this on google by accident apparently and saw the graph and thought what the hell? Who even cares? I'm a chem majour and a virgin, and bloody well proud of it.
If we chem, math, physics majours were focused on anything else but our priorities, we would end up like the rest of this fucking mentally ill, outrageously backwards, mediocre pile of shit you call planet earth, with 2 miserable little twats, and a trashy, whiny American bitch that couldn't keep her legs closed past high school while residing in a 2,300sq.ft home that's falling apart with your broke, mediocre asses in so much debt your grandchildren's grandchildren will be paying off the compound interest because you stupid inbred, trailer trash fucks couldn't learn basic arithmetic but somehow managed to pass chem 101 with a B on a 25% grading curve, partially do to the grace of the God you dipshits don't even believe in in the first place.
Amen.
Apparently someone really needs to get laid...
