After a minor confrontation, in which I expressed my unhappiness with what they were saying, I found out these men were students at Peterhouse. In response to this vile expression of misogyny, I embarked on a feminist investigation into women and sex in Cambridge. In such a fast-paced environment, do women even have time for sex? Are sexually active women treated any differently than men I think I know the answer to this one? And is it all relationships, or has Hinge and hookup culture pervaded culturally prehistoric Cambridge?
Armed with an anonymous Google form and quite an ability to overshare, I sought my answers. Google 1, Martha 0. As of now, the form is still alive and kicking β 1 point to Martha! Despite the small sample size, I think the results were very illuminating. Every respondent to the form was a woman having sex with men.
The consensus to this question was clear β casual sex is far more common here in Cambridge, and that comes with a lot more anxiety. Does Cambridge, a university filled with overachievers, see this translated into the bedroom?
Put simply: no. Does Cambridge have a caffeine problem? So fear not if you are experiencing a dry spell, as the evidence suggests a flood is around the corner. And, alongside the observed anxiety that comes with casual sex in Cambridge, there is a notable lack of female orgasms. The male overachievers of Cambridge seem to be underachieving in one very significant area. Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.
We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead. In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too! Many thanks, we hope you can help!
