<p>there are a LOT that of rumors and one of them is SB has a STD rate of 33.2%, is true, and is it effecting your decidsion to go there</p>
<p>they don't call it UCSTD for nothing</p>
<p>I've heard the rumors from a lot of people, but i really don't think there is much truth to it. I haven't seen the statistic posted anywhere, so I don't see how everyone else can know.</p>
<p>Someone posted a link that said UCSB actually has a much lower incidence of STD's than the American average.</p>
<p>i read that somewhere...</p>
<p>i think its a rumor that originates from the other rumor i've heard, which might be more accurate-that alot of casual sex takes place at UCSB...but who really knows?</p>
<p>I heard actually only about 2% participate in casual sex @ucsb when I attended a sexual awareness course.</p>
<p>What makes the sex "casual", like unplanned or is it with people without relationships?</p>
<p>There's a rule that should apply anywhere; Don't be a fool, wrap your tool.
If there's a high STD rate or not, be on the safe side.</p>
<p>Unplanned would also put rape under casual then, which I don't think it should be. I think of casual sex like f-buddies.</p>
