I am so glad that our society is moving away from the idea that sex and sexuality is some taboo topic, as if we all got here by means of a stork…
Free the nipple, man! Sexual liberation is a great thing, but I think one thing that many supporters (even myself sometimes) forget, is that not everyone has to be sexually active in order to be sexually free. The two are not mutually exclusive.
I don’t believe that being an advocate for sexual liberation means that by default you are shaming virgins or those who chose to refrain from sex or relationships, but sometimes it happens. Some movements tend to leave out those who are not sexually active, and some phrases, activities, etc, give off the wrong impression or make others feel uncomfortable about what they might be doing, or not doing.
This is especially true on college campuses. A huge stereotype about college is that when you get here, you’ll be having sex every other weekend and be sleeping around more than you ever have before. And there is a lot of pressure, both spoken and unspoken (mainly from peers), for people to meet those expectations.
However, that stereotype isn’t necessarily true.
I am in the process of conducting a survey for my writing class about sex and sexual activity. And although there are, admittedly, many flaws with my survey’s wording, phrasing, grouping of answers, and sample size (mostly female first-years), one thing is pretty clear – this data proves a point… a supportive point for those who feel unwanted pressure to have sex in college – college students aren’t having as much sex as everyone thinks, or as much sex as college students want everyone to think.
Below are some graphs that represent those findings. 
Some of these numbers seem a little off at first, and that’s because you can’t expect every Google Form user to completely understand what I mean in every question, but there is some consistency in these answers.
So far, of 41 respondents, 56.1% of students were sexually active before coming to college, and 58.5% of students report being/becoming sexually active since being in college. Thankfully Google Forms does that math for me, but that is a total of one person (of 41 respondents) reporting they have become sexually active during their college experience.
The point is, in liberating sexuality and freedom to talk openly about the action you’re getting, it is also okay to talk about the action you’re not getting! There is no right and wrong way to make decisions for your body, as long as you are being safe and respectful, that is.
