58% Of Colombian Seniors Would Give Up Oral Sex Before Cheese

Last week, we sent out the call for this year’s Senior Wisdoms, one of Bwog’s most beloved traditions. One of the responses we received was more unusual than usual: a dedicated scientist who only signed off with the codename Fromage ’13 has made a statistical survey centered around our most famous Senior Wisdom question: “Would you rather give up oral sex or cheese?”. The mysterious Fromage sent us the complete project, which we gather was actually submitted somewhere at Columbia for a grade. Read the abridged inquiry to find out, scientifically, once and for all, the truth behind the mystery. Agree with the conclusions? Disagree? Share your thoughts — no charts required.

This statistical survey has been edited for brevity. All bolding is ours.

Columbia Seniors and Bwog’s Oral Sex Vs. Cheese Question: An Inquiry.

One of the questions that is frequently criticized [in the Senior Wisdoms] is “Would you rather give up oral sex or cheese?” which has been a staple question since the surveys began. My hypothesis is that Columbia/Barnard senior women are more likely than their male counterparts to say that they’d rather give up oral sex than cheese. Any sexual activity in a heteronormative collegiate (I assert Columbia is heteronormative, though that may be up for debate) environment serves as social capital for men more than women. This is evidenced by various sexual tropes and their accompanying social disparity and moral double-standard: a sex-positive woman is a “slut” or pegged as promiscuous, while a man of the same inclination is thought of as virile or a “stud.” Aside from whatever pleasure might be gained, sex of any kind does not really serve the same purpose of social capital for a woman as it does a man in a heteronormative environment, so it makes sense that oral sex would be something of less importance to her if she were asked to pick between that and, say, a nice brie.
