HC's Ultimate College Guy Survey Results: What Guys Think About Sex, Dating, Marriage, Birth Control, and more!
Tuesday, August 16, 2011

As Editor of Her Campus, I've learned that one topic you'd love some more insight on -- aside from how to get a high-powered internship, rock the latest trends, and ace your next midterm -- is GUYS. It seems like no matter how much we analyze each text, consult our wise sorority big sisters, and bug our guy friends themselves, we're still left in the dark about a whole lot about the college male psyche.
So we went straight to the source -- the GUYS. In fact, we surveyed over 1,000 of them from more than 350 schools across the country to get them to tell us the real deal about, well, pretty much everything. And now we have the results.
We surveyed 1,176 guys, age 18-23, from more than 350 colleges across the country representing 46 states and 45 home states. 85% of guys were heterosexual. The classes of 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 were almost equally represented. 82% of guys were Caucasian, 9% were Asian, 5% were Hispanic, 5% were African American, and 6% listed another category (respondents could select more than one race). 64% of respondents were single.

You can get rid of an STD...... You should know that.
16.7% of guys have HIV/AIDS, but only 1.9% currently have an STD? Something doesn't add up here.
The 16.some percent is of the guys who have had an STD, not the general population surveyed.
why don't 100% of guys think having sex is cheating? If having sex isn't cheating, WHAT is?
LOL right?!
Love the Graphics! Too funny.
Can't believe more guys don't carry condoms! irresponsible or lack of self esteem?
It took me a long time to feel comfortable having a condom in my purse when i was single. But in the end better safe than sorry. There is nothing slutty about being safe and prepared.
And why is it we need to like you on Facebook to see the results? Seems a little controlling. They're few and far between, but people who aren't on Facebook do actually exist.
