1976 Playboy Student Survey polls on sex, politics, laws
a
The 1976 Playboy Student
Survey reveals that although
college women are becoming
more sexually active, the
percentage of male virgins is
campus is rising. In the 1970
Playboy survey, 49 percent of
female students graduated
with more than their brains
intact, but by 1976, this figure
had dropped to 26 percent. Yet,
in the same period, the
percentage of male virgins
rose from 18 to 26 percent. This
parity indicates the end of the
double standard, observes
Playboy—now women can, if
they want to, while men don't
have to.
The three out of four coeds
who get it on, get it on with a
vengeance, Playboy findings
show. Their activities equal
those of men in every form of
sex—except masturbation.
Although the poll reveals 29
percent of the women consider
simple friendship sufficient
grounds for sexual inter-
course, most student activity
today takes place within fairly
monogamous relationships.
Fifty-five percent of women
and 47 percent of the men
questioned had a lifetime total
of three or fewer partners.
In spite of the fact that many
students look upon college as a
kind of sexual testing ground,
conservatives need not fear
that the increase in campus
sexual activity is another sign

How to get
the juices
flowing.
The best way to get the juices flowing is to get
plugged into the best tequila. Jose Cuervo White.
Because Jose Cuervo is the premium white tequila.
And it has been since the first day it was made in 1795.
Then the rest is simple. Just get plugged into the
' best juices. Take orange juice, for example. Or grape-
fruit, or pineapple. Or whatever.

that our moral fabric is
unwinding. A full 60 percent of
students disagree strongly
with the statement "I hope to
have an open marriage which
would include extramarital
sex." Another 57 percent
disagree jstrongly with the
statement "I'm not interested
in marrying. 1 hope to have a
varied sex life, including a
number of affairs."
Students offered some
surprises on other issues, too.
Although both politicians and
the general public are busy
denouncing Big Government,
students say they want more
government intervention in
almost every area of life,
particularly in enforcement of
pollution laws.
Seventy percent favor hand-
gun control, and almost half
want to restore the death
penalty. Students generally
favor stricter laws, heavier
penalties and mandatory
therapy for hard-drug users.
(Only marijuana and alcohol
escape this prohibition.)
Almost all students (94
percent) support equal
economic and political rights
for women, while 79 percent
oppose any move to restrict
women's rights to abortion. In
fact, 67 percent of Catholic
students questioned oppose
the so-called right-to-life
amendment.
Only 58 percent of those
polled were optimistic about
the future. Seventy-five
percent agree that there has
been a shift toward conser-
vatism among students, yet
judging from the statistics,
most students have a different
definition of conservatism. It
appears that the New Morality
of the Sixties has become the
dominant moral code of the
Seventies.

Pills to be discontinued
The Food and Drug Admin-
istration (FDA) has asked the
manufacturers of sequential
birth control pills to
discontinue making these
products, and the companies
have responded by voluntarily
withdrawing these products
from the market. FDA took
this action after concluding
that sequentials are less
effective than combination
birth control pills and are
associated with a higher risk
of blood clotting. Sequentials
also appear to have the
potential for a higher risk of
cancer of the uterus than the
combination pills. Products
being withdrawn from the
market are: Oracon, made by
Mead-Johnson and Co., Ortho-
Novum Stj, made by Ortho
Pharmaceuticals, and Nor-
quens, made by Syntex
Laboratories. These sequen-
tials contain an estrogen alone
for most of the pill-taking cycle
and an edUogen and progestin
combination for the remaining
part of the cycle. Combination
pills combine estrogen and
progestin combination for the
remaining part of the cycle.
Combination pills combine
estrogen and progestin for the
entire 3-week cycle.
What to do: If you are taking
on of these kinds- of birth
control pills, FDA advises that
you finish out your cycle and
contact your physician for a
different birth control pill or
select another method of
contraception.
