Sex, sex, sex. It's plastered on our TV screens and integrated into the debauchery of our college life. Hell, it's even in the newspaper. It's everywhere and everyone's doing it, right?

Come on, of course not.

You may not be surprised, but there are some who think you can only have the complete college experience by doing the nasty. How can you blame them when sex is everywhere in our society and it seems like everyone's doing it - especially right before they come to college.

Take "American Pie" for example. The whole point was to get laid before coming to college or face the fear of being the only virgins on campus.

Like Jason Biggs said, "You realize we're going to college as virgins. They probably have special dorms for people like us." If anyone actually believes that, I question how they got into college in the first place.

So yes, there are virgins on campus that stay virgins throughout their years at college. But one thing I've noticed is that everyone has a different definition for that one little word - virgin.

For some it's straight up sex. Once you have it, poof, there goes your V-card. Then for others there's, let's say, exceptions, such as oral and anal sex.

So if you go through the back door before the front, are you still a virgin? Some say yes. Some say no. I say whatever.

We already know why people keep that chastity belt on tight:

"I don't trust guys," says Jackie, a freshman.

"I've never had a serious boyfriend and I don't want my first time to be with a random guy," says Ashley, a freshman.

"It's part of my religion that it's something so sacred that you should wait until you're married," says Ryan, a sophomore.

"There were times when I wanted to, but I just felt like I should do it when I have no doubts in my mind about it," says Melissa, a junior.

It's not so much why someone's holding on to their V-card, but more like how do they resist the urge to get down when things heat up at night.

No matter when you want it, or if you're trying not to want it, sex is hard to resist. But for some it's easy because they know they are going to have mind-blowing sex, but only when it's the right time for them. Even if that means waiting until they are married, like Ryan.
