Sexual conservatism typifies campus climate
By Harry Esteve
Of Iff* EmefsW
Editor's Note: This is the first of
a three-part series dealing with
the attitudes, behaviors and
problems of sexuality on campus
The "sexual revolution,"
spawned in the turbulence of the
1960s and intensified by the ex
cesses of the 1970s hasn't exact
ly died in the 1980s It's just
quieted down a little, according
to experts in the field
On university campuses, where
most agree the revolution began,
the mood has changed Where
there was once the exuberence
of free expression and exper
imentation, a conservative back
lash against increased sexuality
has softened the sexual tone on
many campuses — including the
University
"People have gotten turned off
to sex,” sums up Prof. Harry
Hoberman, a young psychologist
who teaches sexuality classes at
the University and at Lane Com
munity College
This doesn’t mean campus sex
is going the way of toga parties
and panty raids. If anything, it
simply is becoming less of a
priority among students, Hober
man says
Although sexual behavior is al
most impossible to quantify ac
curately, Hoberman guesses that
about 50 percent of men have
had intercourse by the end of
not much different from anybody
else On the surface, the Univer
sity's sexual temperature seems
to range somewhere between
lukewarm and medium cool.
Oregon’s rural influence may
contribute to the University's low
sexual profile, Hoberman says.
"A lot of people who come here
come from small towns,'' he says
They have strong religious back
grounds and are more inhibited.
Another University professor,
Patty Gwartney-Gibbs, says the
rural influence should have the
opposite effect — at least where
women are concerned
"Women who are most likely to
engage in sex at an early age are
those brought up with traditional
values,” says Gwartney-Gibbs, a
University sociologist noted for
her work in survey research.
But Gwartney-Gibbs is quick to
point out that studies done on
student sex behavior are unrelia
ble at best
"It’s really hard to get people to
be honest” about their sexuality,
she says. "Unless you go around
peeking in bedrooms, how can
you tell?”
Reliability notwithstanding, the
Emeraid conducted an informal,
unscientific survey of student
sexual behavior.
A class of University students
answered a questionnaire about
their rate of sexual intercourse
and their attitudes on sexual
The University’s sexual temperance
ranges somewhere between
lukewarm and medium cool.
high school By college, the
number rises to about 75 percent,
he estimates The percentages
are slightly lower for women,
Hoberman says
But fewer incoming freshmen
think of college as a hotbed of
sexual activity "There's less
people coming to college hoping
to lose their virginity,” Hoberman
says
At the University, the level of
sexual activity is anybody's
guess
Hoberman's guess is that we re
behavior. The results seemed to
lend credence to the theory that
the fizz of the sexual revolution
has gone flat
Of the 45 students who re
sponded to the survey, 20 stated
that they never engage in sexual
intercourse — a 44 percent
celibacy rate
However, 60 percent of the
students said they thought other
students at the University are
highly sexually active
This response supports Hober
man s theory that students like to
talk about sex more than they like
to participate in it.
Students “think that everybody
is getting more than they are,"
Hoberman says. "That comes
from lying.”
Most students seemed to
realize that sex on campus has
been exaggerated About 60 per
cent of the students who re
sponded to the survey agreed
that students are less sexually
active than most people believe
Two reasons for a possible in
crease in the rate of student
celibacy are religion and bor
edom, says Hoberman
"I'm hearing a lot about people
being celibate for religious rea
sons," he says, but being turned
off by one's partner is one of the
biggest current sexual problems
"People are getting bored very
easily," he says.
A third reason for this apparent
lull in sexual activity is a fear of
contracting venereal disease
"Herpes is scaring people,
Hoberman says
The embarassing, uncomforta
ble and highly contagious virus
does not have a cure By some
accounts, the rate of herpes
cases has become epidemic And
recent media attention has
brought the disease into the pub
lic limelight.
“That’s slowing people up,"
Hoberman says "I think a lot of
people are abstaining " At par
ties, people are much more care
ful about who they pick up. he
says.
One student who considers
herself sexually uninhibited says
she agrees with Hoberman The
herpes scare is "the obvious rea
son" for the recent conservative
trend in sexual behavior, says the
21-year-old senior, who request
ed anonymity.
But there are other reasons as
well, she says
"Feelings are becoming a lot
more important," she says Peo
ple are not as hard-shelled as
they seem
"I’m uninhibited because I’m
sure of myself," she says Many
other women her age have to be
concerned about their reputa
tion, and that can put a damper
on free sexual expression, she
says
The trend at the University is
definitely toward sexual conser
vatism, she says, and that doesn't
bother her — for the most part
"There are some people who
are a little extreme in their abhor
rence of sex," she says "I don't
think it's immoral to live with
someone before you're married
or to have sex with him before
your wedding day. That's bull
shit.”
She says, the "free love" of
past years is on the way out
"I'm not going to go to bed with
someone just because he's good
looking or just because he's hung
well," she says
A majority of the surveyed
students also believe marriage
isn't a prerequisite for sex, yet
nearly 40 percent said a couple
should be married before having
sex
Students also were questioned
on how many sexual partners
they have had Thirty-five percent
said they were virgins, 28 percent
had had only one partner, 26
percent had between one and
five partners and 8 percent
reported sleeping with between
five and 20 partners None
reported having more than 20
partners
The rate of sexual activity
ranged from never to daily, with
about 50 percent of the students
stating they had either sex once
students began demanding
coeducational residence halls,
and liberated administrators
began granting them Single sex
dorms have become the excep
tion at most major colleges
At the University, most halls are
coed, but each floor is sex se
gregated The main reason for
the separation is the lack of split
sex bathrooms, says Marge
Ramey, assistant director of
University housing
The one dorm that had coed
sex floors was closed this year
because of a drop in dorm ap
plicants Moore Hall is used now
to house people who attend con
ferences at the University
Ramey says she fields com
plaints every year from worried
parents Some of the callers
become angry over what they feel
is a lack of proper supervision,
she says
The University has rules
against students spending the
night in another student's dorm
room, but no violations have been
reported this year
"That's not to say there hasn't
been any," Ramey says It's dif
ficult for the University to find out
if students were breaking
cohabitation rules, she says We
don't listen in keyholes or sniff
under doors "
If anyone has changed in the
last 10 years, it has been women,
says Hoberman, who believes
A 44 percent celibacy rate was
the result of an unscientific
Emerald survey.
a-year or once-a-week The re
spondents who said they have
sexual relations daily said they
were married
Parents are usually the most
interested in the ups and downs
of campus sex The possibility
that their child will be exposed to
a promiscuous atmosphere in the
dormoritories is their primary
concern
When the sexual revolution
began picking up steam at u
niversities during the 1970’s,
students in general are very naive
when it comes to sex Women are
demanding more from their
partners during sexual relations,
and that has placed a burden on
men to perform, he says.
This kind of burden can lead to
a slower sex tempo all around, he
says
“It's a real blah period in terms
of sexual behavior," Hoberman
concludes "Less weird stuff go
ing on."
Tuesday's article will discuss
homosexuality on campus.
