Female university students now have about twice as much intercourse as males.
Evidence
So, not only are female students less likely to be virgins today than male students, they have also copulated about twice as much as the guys. (It causes some anguish among the fellows in my classes when I reveal this fact in the feedback lecture on the Secret Survey.) Part of the reason is that women get a head start, beginning sex at an earlier age than men. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2290
