A sex workshop organised at Yale University last week revealed that three percent of students admitted to engaging in bestiality, 52 percent participated in 'consensual pain' during sex and nine percent were involved in prostitution.
The figures are based on an anonymous poll conducted during the workshop on 55 students regarding their sexual activity. The poll also disclosed that 22 percent never had a sexual partner and 12 percent had filmed themselves during intercourse.
The workshop entitled, ''Sex: Am I Normal' at Linsly-Chittenden Hall, also encouraged students to anonymously ask questions about sex using their mobile phones to get instant answers on screen and openly talk about sexual taboos.
The workshop featured several students submitting discussion topics on sexual fantasies involving family members, some of them relating to incest fantasies about their fathers.
"People don't think a college student at an Ivy League university would accept payment for sex but I've never had asked this question on a college campus and not had "yes" answers,' sexologist Dr Jill McDevitt, told Yale Daily News.
McDevitt hosted the workshop and owns a sex store called Feminique in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
Event director and student, Giuliana Berry, told Campus Reform that one of the goals of this workshop was to increase one's understanding and compassion for people who may have engaged in sexual activities that are not considered normal by some, and not be judgmental.
This workshop was part of Yale's Sex Weekend, which was conducted from Feb. 28 through March 3. Yale's Sex Weekend is a series of events on sex-related topics held every other year.
Through the workshop, McDevitt said that just because people think certain activities are abnormal, it doesn't mean they are bad
