College students assigned to coed dorms drink more, have more sex and watch more pornography than those living in single-sex housing.Researchers at Brigham Young University surveyed students from five colleges -- not including BYU, because its Mormontastic population would have skewed their results -- about a number of lifestyle habits, controlling for age, gender, religiosity, personality and relationship status. Whereas it's not a huge surprise that students with increased access to the opposite sex would have more sexual partners and even drink more (probably in order to have more sex), their higher rate of porn consumption is a bit of a head-scratcher.
Although such results seem like they could be invalidated by selection bias, the researchers state that most students in same-sex dorms are not there because they requested it, but rather because that is how they were assigned.
Now if they could only clarify for us what in the world these chaste and sober same-sex dorm dwellers are actually doing with their free time. Oh my god, are they studying?

I'm not seeing the bad side to this.

They needed to do research to figure that out?
RE the increased porn watching being a head scratcher, I think I've come up with a good explanation for this.
Even in the co-ed dorms there may be individuals of both sexes who for whatever reason are unable to 'get in' on all the action. Being aware of all the sex that is happening around them (Picture howls of pleasure coming through thin dorm room walls) is likely to make it harder for them to cope with their 'sexless' status. Enter porn (along with a vibes, boxes of tissues and lotion - as necessary) to save the day.
That's me theory and I'm sticking with it!

I am not sure why but I have always kind of liked the Jacksonville Jaguars. I rarely get to see them play on TV but for some reason I have rooted for them since their inception. I always liked watching Mark Brunell, Keenan McCardell, and Jimmy Smith. I always rooted for Fred Taylor, Tony Boselli, Tony Brackens, and the rest of the Jaguars. So this is kind of a tough team for me to pick a jersey. Out of the current crop of players I am gonna kind of go off the board and stay away from the “stars” like Maurice Jones-Drew, David Garrard, and even Mike Sims-Walker. If I were a fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars I would go with a John Henderson jersey.
Why John Henderson? Well, I have always liked buying linemen jerseys whenever possible and John Henderson has been a top defensive tackle for years. At 6-7, 335 he is one of the biggest defensive players in the league and for years along with Marcus Stroud he was one of the best tackles in the game. He could collapse a pocket like few others, could stuff the run, and basically took away the inside running game.
John Henderson is a 2 time Pro-Bowler and has been at the top of his game for years. I can’t forsee him ever getting much of a Super Bowl run with the Jaguars but for the most part he helps lead the Jags to the playoffs or at least seasons of 8 or more wins. He will probably never be considered the top player at his position but he shows up week in and week out and gives the Jaguars fans something to cheer for.
