Sex In Committed Relationship Not A Distraction In School

by Gopalan T on August 18, 2010 at 8:53 AM Sexual Health News

Some might agonize over the ever increasing permissiveness across campuses in the West. But not a team of US researchers, who say students� having sex only with their romantic partners need not worry too much about their academic performance. Theirs might not be very different from what is achieved by those who abstain from sex.

But students who describe their sexual activity in terms of "hook-ups," "friends with benefits" or "bed buddies" are more likely to suffer a negative impact on their education.

These student are more likely to experience problems in school, being suspended or expelled, being less likely to aspire to or expect to attend college, being less attached to school and more likely to earn lower grades, the study said.

The study by Bill McCarthy of the University of California and Eric Grodsky of the University of Minnesota was presented at the American Sociological Association's annual meeting this week in Atlanta, Georgia.

If female students report having only nonromantic sexual relationships, they are likely to miss twice as many days of school as virgins and they are 96 percent more likely to face suspension or expulsion, the study said.

Male students who report having only nonromantic sex are 30 percent less likely to aspire to or expect to attend college. They also face a 200 percent greater chance of being expelled or suspended than do male students who are virgins.
