Christopher Hitchens says he got his boy-on-boy rocks off in secondary school. But Hitchens is also a graduate of Oxford University, where a new survey reveals one-in-five men there have had gay sex. Attending Oxford: Causation to or effect of being gay?
Interestingly, while just 14.8 percent of men among the 400 respondents identified as gay, just 3 percent of women did. Moreover, 54.2 percent of men said they fantasized about gay sex; 49.5 percent said they watched gay porn. And while 31.2 percent of men said they had received or given oral sex with another dude, 22.8 percent said they’d gone all the way.
Damn liberal elites.

How about we take this to the next level?

Oxford is a funny place. On the one hand, it is very established and secular (obviously), but there is also a strong libertarian and humanistic vibe there. Proud Christ College drop out here. 🙂

@Fitz — Well seeing as ‘Christ College’ (I think you meant Christ’s College) is Cambridge, I’m not sure how that is relevant.
Worth considering a) that 400 respondents out of 20,000 odd students isn’t much; b) seems like people with an, how do I say this, *unconventional* sexuality are more likely to respond (including, as always, the rugby players having a joke); and last, and most importantly, c) the Cherwell is famous for producing some of the least accurate journalism of all time, particularly when it comes to making wild assumptions based on very little evidence.
Or maybe I’m just going to an entirely different Oxford to the one the Cherwell is writing about.

University of Florida, where I am a student, has been trying to become a top 10 public university for a while now, and I kind of doubt that it will ever has what it takes to make it, what with all the budget cuts and the end of the population boom in this state. I think more gay sex might be the only route left… But still I kind of wonder if there was some sample bias in this survey.

This sounds like Brown University.. There are more androgynous looking persons there than anyplace on earth.
Fitz
@CBS: Babe, there is a Christ’s college at Oxford also. I assure you. Unless I had a very very long and expensive dream.

So this is what they mean by “A Yank at Oxford”.

@Fitz: Do you mean Christ Church or Corpus Christi? Those are your Christ-related options.

A third of its academic staff is homosexual unsurprisingly. We are far more intellectually inclined than our heterosexual counterparts.

Hmm, Christ College is Cambridge. Christ Church is Oxford.

Christopher Hitchens cannot help but be an elitist.

EWE- “Christopher Hitchens cannot help but be an elitist.”
Er, does that mean he’s intelligent and is not afraid to show it?
or do you mean by that that he is atheist and has contempt for sky pixie worshippers?
Or both?
Greg Ever
Over 90% of them believe kids should be taught about homosexuality in school, and over half at young ages… I am already envious of the lives these peoples’ children will live.

If someone at Queerty could figure out math, 22.8% is closer to one in four then it is one in five….
Jack
These numbers are ridiculous.
Bryan
Wait, is that 49.5% referring to the 15% who identify as gay or 49% of the entire male population of that Uni have actually fantasized about gay sex? That’s a really, really surprising stat if it’s the latter.
John
When I was there, 2 years ago, it was a sexathon. Full of lovely public school types wanting a bit of bum lovin’.
Wy
@Bryan: Actually it isn’t that surprising if my straight friends in college were to be believed. If it were only 49% of the 15% then that I would find surprising.

and 100% used to drink milk….
