>>[Interviewer] Do you think students at University College are immoral?
>>[Woman] Well, that depends on what you define immorality as. I mean, if you say that 60%
of the British students living together is immoral, well I guess they are more moral
than other students in the States, for instance. >>[Interview] Well what do you think is immoral?
>>[Woman] Well, I think man's indecency to other men is immoral. Things like using ***
in Vietnam or just fighting in Vietnam at all. I think human disrespect for other human
beings is about the worst sin possible. >>[Interviewer] As an engineer, would you
say that engineers are more interested in alcohol than in sex.
>>[Man] Well, I think really with most engineers it's more a case of one thing leads to another.
>>[Voiceover of interview subject] I don't think you can separate academic work from
sex life. These are two very important aspects of a student's life. Obviously sex is an important
aspect of any person's life and work is an important aspect of a student's life in particular.
You have a happy sex relationship with someone, your work is obviously going to benefit from
this. Conversely, if you have a bad *** relationship, it's going to suffer. I think
this is the link between the two. >>[Woman voiceover] I don't think it's the
sex that causes the difference in study, you know. There's no problem where that's concerned,
it's just the emotional entanglements that come in with it. It's when you've got these
that you get all frustrated and can't do your work and things start to go wrong. Sex itself
I don't think makes any difference to study, if you've got it or if you haven't.
>>[Professor Johnson] From the 1960s, late 1960s/early 1970s until the mid-1980s there
was a huge increase, particularly in rates of gonorrhoea, which probably reflected a
big change in *** behaviour in the 1960s and '70s. That epidemic of gonorrhoea virtually
disappeared in the mid-1980s when of course the whole of the British population received
a leaflet through their door about the risks of *** and AIDS. That probably changed behaviour
hugely. And in fact, I think when we did our first survey in 1990, it was after a period
when behaviour had changed, so probably that was quite a low level in terms of risk behaviour,
relatively low levels of risk. Since that time we've seen the rates of STIs and gonorrhoea
increase again from the mid-1990s onwards, but nothing like the rates they were in the
1970s.
