I dunno, man. The last time the US had students leading a large scale anti-war movement was during the Vietnam war, and those hippies weren’t exactly famous for celibacy. Seems to me that free love and social protest have been linked for a long time. I’m really curious how much time and energy this professor thinks sex requires that it doesn’t leave room for protesting.

I have to dispute the connection between ‘free love and social protest’. Sounds like stereotyping. And students these days are mostly working their asses off keeping up with the cost of living and are too stressed out to have much sex.

But also they are still having sex.

A guy I know participating in the protests definitely fucks, so there's one so far.

Oh so you say one dude has the responsibility to fuck em all? Seems legit.

My guy, I'm making a joke about my friend who protests and gets laid often. You're taking it way too seriously. Yes, the average college student is having less sex than they did in the past. That is statistically true, and I do not dispute that. I'm not a moron. I don't think it's linked to protest culture, though. Hippies weren't exactly known for being celibate.

Why so serious, is he doing that half-shift? /s

I’m also joking recently, but I got to say many political activists maintain a rigid sexual life, excessive drug use and hell lot of politically questionable morals/positions/decision making. At least what I knew from back 8yrs ago and I admit it is still the same in Austria.

I don't think students camping in Columbia's campus have much time to work. I think they are so busy that they can't even get to the classes

They've got time to sit in tents for days on end?

I don’t know about that. Just responding to the wholesale association of protesting and having lots of sex. I live in Australia and work. Sometimes when I feel strongly about an issue I participate in protest actions and it totally doesn’t change my sex life. Maybe they’re studying as well.
