The 10 Most Sexually Liberated Colleges

    First Posted: 02/22/2012 8:30 am   Updated: 02/22/2012 8:30 am

The college experience often entails drinking, partying and intimate interactions. And what used to be seen as a mate-seeking ritual has shifted to hooking up: sexual encounters with no strings attached. It seems that some students are so preoccupied with classes, internships and a social life that they don’t have time for a relationship. Instead, students seek multiple stimulating sexual experiences to help strip away their stress. Casual sex has even replaced the dating scene on some college campuses, but students at some universities seem to be more DTF than others. Researching the party scenes, hookup culture, sexual health resources and even streaking incidents, we put together a list of colleges where everything goes and nothing stays on.

Everything's bigger in Texas, especially the sexual appetites. Named on nearly every list of party schools in the nation, the 50,000+ students at UT ­Austin know how to party--and get it on. Men's Health named Austin as one of the top cities in the nation for a sexy good time, based on condom sales, birth rates, sex toy sales and rates of (uh-oh) STIs. While this may be synonymous with a fun, wild college experience for students, it's a parent's worst nightmare.

If by "sexually liberated" you mean drunken, hetero shenanigans then...maybe? Penn State had a straight club as an answer to the LGBQT association in the 90s when I was there. I transferred to NYU.

I'm fairly certain the straight club is gone, thankfully.

I'd like to note that UCSB has a lower-than-average STI rate and that whoever chose a picture of a CHOIR to represent the school deserves a gold medal for lazy. The best beach school in the nation and you chose a choir. Not the annual sorority volleyball tournament, or even the Sex Interns dressed up as genitalia. Choir.

I'm not at all surprised to see that Georgetown didn't make this list.

You would think Ohio University would be on this list too. They are the #1 Party School in the nation don't you know.

Penn State catapulted to number 6 on the list because of one man. Jerry Sandusky.

I don't understand how Iowa State University is not on the list when they have been the only public university to have a student BDSM club with funding from student fees for over 15 years.

Sad that my alma mater (Univ of CO) didn't make the list. We used to be so high on the party school list.

The Sun Devils HAVE to have sex with each other, cuz no one else will touch them

Oddly, the students at these schools probably have much worse sex lives. People in couples usually have more sex, more variety, and more orgasms than single people. A hook-up culture may actually lead to bad sex at a purely physical level.

Issues, have we?

Why do we consider it sexual liberation when all people do is drink heavily and hook up? It doesn't sound particularly fun or orgasmic. If that's all people do, it even sounds like conformity.

If you really want to know if people are sexually liberated you need to look at whether or not they're comfortable in their own skin and doing what they really want to do. (If they have to get drunk first, maybe not.)

Why not also ask the students about how often they have sex, whether or not they have orgasms, and if they are satisfied with their sex lives?

Penn State and sex, interesting....

This list comes out now, when application season is just ending!???!! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..........

Might as well have fun while you can .... None of the students coming from these schools will have jobs when they graduate.
10:23 PM on 02/22/2012
That's an absurd comment.
11:55 AM on 02/23/2012
Huh, I just thought he meant that college grads in general aren't going to have jobs unless they go on right now.
10:39 PM on 02/22/2012
That is not true. I go to UCSB. I am an engineering major graduating with honors. Just because we know how to have a good time doesn't mean we don't keep up with our academics.
10:49 PM on 02/22/2012
Hmmm... UCSB has a 45% acceptance rate...You are ranked 42. I am surprised you can put together coherent sentences. Honors must mean you passed calculus 1?
