    Being a His/Pol Undergrad myself, I'd say the former of course

    Sam Tucker, a spokesman for St Anne's College, said he thought that the reason for a relatively high number of students having unprotected sex could stem from lack of knowledge about the risks.
    Seriously, they're at oxford, what kind of idiots are they letting in these days?

    Re: History students....

    If you look at the actual study posted in the Cherwell: http://www.cherwell.org/content/8858

    They appear to be surprised that a staggering 80% of students masturbate. I'm intrigued to know why they're surprised at that figure - in fact i'm pretty sure the other 20% were lying through their teeth.

    Re: History students....

    Yeah, I'll go with the former too. Can't say I've ever really thought of history as the subject to go for when it comes to getting the girls, but there you go.

    I agree, 80% seems far far too low lol

    Well, is it unreasonable to assume that less women masturbate on a regular basis than guys? For the 80% to be true, you could have a divide of 100%/60% or 95%/65% for instance assuming a 50/50 divide between men and women. Too low (I wouldn't have thought that it's off by *too* much)?

    Re: History students....

    Women have exactly the same urges that men do, but a lot of them don't admit to it. I'm not being sexist, this has been the case in plenty of surveys (i.e. random surveys yield around 50% whereas more intensive interviewing yields about 70). From a quick google, around 70% admit to it. Which does make their figures somewhat more believable - 70% women, 90% men or something around that. I'm not doubting their figures, but they shouldn't be surprised that 80% of students have a relationship with their hand
