Useless Study of the Day: Science Nerds Don't Get Laid

In “We needed a study to tell us that?” news, Australian research has definitively proven that science nerds don’t get it on a whole lot.
 

Surprise, surprise.
 

The UK’s Telegraph explains this shocking discovery based on the sexual history of 185 students at the University of Sydney:

The study of 16 to 25-year-olds, published in the journal Sexual Health, said: "Males in the study were less likely to have had sex as a group compared to the group of females in the sample.

"Science students were also less likely to have had sex compared to their counterparts in other faculties."

Sydney-based psychotherapist Stephen Carroll said cultural factors would have played a role in the results, because many international students come to Australia to study science.

"Boys also start having sex later than girls," Dr Carroll said.

The work ethic of science students, and their devotion to the lab, kept them out environments where they would meet women, he said.

The article also says, “At the other end of the spectrum, female arts students ranked as the most sexually active.” Again, we needed a study to tell us that?
