According to Playboy’s 1996 College Sex Survey, released in the October issue, college students are more sexually expressive, experimental and safer than ever before.The 152-item survey, including 10 essay questions, was administered by professors of small and large public and private universities across the country.Although the survey was not conducted at Ohio State, many students agreed with the results. “We talk about everything,” said Dave Levenson, a junior majoring in communications, about his current relationship.The survey included extensive probing questions about protection. The responses indicated that “condoms have become the latex chaperons of college life.””I completely agree,” said Jeremy Yager, a sophomore majoring in criminology. “Even though she was on the pill we always used a condom. It was annoying sometimes, but you have to be safe because you just don’t know what is out there.”Despite awareness of sexually transmitted diseases, the survey reported that HIV testing is not a major concern among sexually active college students.One OSU freshman, who wished to remain anonymous disagreed. “If you want to get close, you have to know their past and you have to know they do not have anything that will kill you or make you itch really bad,” she said.Playboy also asked students about orgasms, threesomes, masturbation and other related topics. Playboy received surveys from more than 1,000 students at San Francisco State; Central State University in Edmond, Oklahoma; California State University at Los Angeles; the University of Maine; Northern Arizona University; La Guardia Community College in New York; Bowling Green State University; East Carolina University in North Carolina; Ferris State University in Michigan; the University of Texas at Austin; Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma and the University of Pacific in Stockton, California.The magazine intends to follow up the survey in the upcoming issues with analysis of an array of issues, from the politics of orgasm to the long standing myths about sexuality, said Playboy spokeswoman Elizabeth Norris.
