broken heartThe Freakonomics blog asked some New York students about their college experience. Their responses to the ones about sex, really shocked me. Of course, I’m pretty atypical since I got married straight out of college, two months shy of my 22nd birthday.

How many more people do you think you’ll sleep with before you get married?

I intend to sleep with a lot of people before I get married (if I get married). I think I’ll sleep with at least 20 people, maybe five of which will be as a part of committed relationships.

How many would you like to?

I’d like to sleep with way more than 20! But let’s be modest. 30? Yeah, 30.

The other responses ranged from a few to two dozen.
