The Word Between the Sheets: FCLC Sex Stats
GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY STEPH LAWLOR
February 12, 2019
Over the past month, The Observer conducted an anonymous survey about sexual activity and health among undergraduate students on campus. These are the responses from the 315 students who took the survey. While some of the answers are light-hearted, we hope that the results provide insight into the Lincoln Center community. Sex remains a taboo topic that is often not discussed within the university, but this information provides data to highlight the reality of sex at Fordham.
This survey was designed and conducted by our news desk.
