We accept it as a given that most college students are interested in having sex.

But how many times per week would they like to do the deed?

The intrepid researchers at the OKCupid dating site used their own data to determine numbers for dozens of schools, including the University of Colorado and Colorado State University.

From that total, we've picked a representative sample of fifteen schools, including CU and CSU, whose students appear to have similar, although not quite equal, desires.
