Student Life Sex Survey 2008

Ahh. Another year, another Sex Issue survey. While the results vary each year, the main purpose of survey remains constant: to discover students’ expectations, experiences and opinions on relationships and sex.

However, there were some notable changes made this year. 2008 marked the first time Student Life conducted the survey online, leading to an unprecedented 1550 undergraduate responses collected. The survey has a theoretical margin of error of two percent.

We also sorted some of the data based on gender, relationship status and other factors to see if there were any interesting delineations. However, no generalizations were made based on sexual orientation because the number of respondents who chose options other than heterosexual was too low to supply sufficient data for an accurate analysis.
