    The survey of more than 850 students by Oxford University student newspaper Cherwell also revealed that students who do not have sex more than once a month are most likely to get a first in their degree.

    But students who claimed to have a more active sex life are more likely to attain a 2:1 or 2:2 in their degree.

    Historians were found to claim to be more sexually active than any other undergraduate, closely followed by students studying politics, philosophy, economics and English literature.

    According to the responses gathered by Cherwell, the most promiscuous colleges at Oxford University were Somerville and New, whilst in contrast, it was University College that had the greatest proportion of virgins.

    The survey revealed that 15 per cent of students were still to lose their virginity.

    More generally, however, the survey also threw up concerning results with regard to sexual health.

    Although a mere 5% of students confessed to having had a sexually transmitted disease (STD) – much lower than the national average of one in three people – around half of respondents admitted to having unprotected sex.

    Approximately 59% of students said they had never been tested for an STD.

    Sam Tucker, a spokesman for St Anne's College, said he thought that the reason for a relatively high number of students having unprotected sex could stem from lack of knowledge about the risks.

    He said: "I think people sometimes don't realise the consequences of their actions.

    "If we make it easier for condoms to be accessible and to be obtained anonymously, then this number should drop."
