Above figures demonstrates that on average how many sexual partners lustful lads and lasses have at each university. This indicates that University of Glamorgan in Wales is having the most sex, where students have an average of 10.9 sexual partners. This can be context driven, cultural as well as comparable with other developing countries. One might argued that if you send your son/daughter to UK University you have to study university rankings as well as ranking on sex partners in different universities as well. But again we have to understand particular country as well as their value system.

And according to the survey the universities having the most sex are three of the top five booziest universities according to the University Drinking League 2011.Further it has revealed that student’s secret sex symbols that they fantasise about. It included Russell Howard and Rupert Grint for the ladies, while Emma Watson and Carol Voderman were the men’s top choices. Once we compared the statistics with TIMES top university rankings in Europe(looking at performance in Research, education ,teaching and learning) University of Cambridge has ranked as number one .Interestingly which has ranked as number 57 in ranking of sex partners.

Then University of Oxford also ranked as number one in ‘TIME’s’ ranking and which ranked as number 32 with 5.6 sexual partners. Even University of Edinburgh has ranked number 13 in TIMES top European university has categorized as number 40 in the ranking of studentbeans.com. So there is no any significant positive relationship between these two rankings. But there is a need for statistical evidence to prove this further. But University College London ranked as number five in TIMES top European ranking has ranked as number 10 in ranking of Sex partners as well(some might say the university is somewhat balancing both education and sex).

But anyway as discussed earlier we need to understand the background as well as culture of different countries and time they are allocating for the category of “entertainment”. In Sri Lanka we are living in different context and this argument can be debatable under different social perspectives. However the globalization as well as civilization should be contextual and will subject to change forever.
