Harvard is "Sexually Healthy"

Not only is Harvard rich, but its students know a) how to use condoms and b) how to find the campus student health center. Last Friday, the Crimson shared the news that, according to a study by Trojan condoms, Harvard students were models of sexual health.

Author Christian Flow captures the excitement with the headline "Trojan Surprise: Harvard Rises Up in Sex Survey." Then Flow writes that Harvard used to be "frustrated" since it wasn't "on top," but it now "shows signs of prowess." (Christian, as a site that loves its innuendo, Bostonist is impressed! Well played!)

Then again, with the brainpower at Harvard, you'd expect the students to know how to use contraception. And the fact that Harvard is sexually healthy doesn’t mean that the students are getting action. (Exhibit A: Those fellas with the "avant-garde sandwiches.")

Another area school made Trojan's list. Harvard landed at 10th on the list, but a Massachusetts school doesn't appear until Boston College ranks at 120. We've never held much faith in company-sponsored surveys, and the survey seems to consider schools in certain athletic conferences.
