Why do so many students start having sex once they enter college?

<p>I remembered way back in freshmen high school Health class that I stood with like 2 girls and 3 boys on one side of the room that voted to stay virgins until marriage. It was silly i know, but there exists a universal desire in everyone to want to be the first lover with the girl/boy we want to spend the rest of our life with. Stealing that away sparks jealousy, curiosity, and unrest, which makes subsequent episodes of sex that much less satisfying. Sure we fall in love with the first cute girl we meet, but can we truly commit to sex and later marry that person! Rarely if ever is love that simple. And neither is sex. So zip up the pants cowboy and learn your trade first ;)</p>
