Sex Survey 2025

The hottest departments at Imperial

Only 41% of students date others at Imperial, but when they do...

This set of results is a part of the 2025 Felix Sex Survey.

The university’s reputation definitely does not aid student's prospects, yet it seems that there is a healthy split between those that date others at Imperial and those that don't. Never dating anyone from Imperial does not explicitly mean dating other universities’ students instead, anecdotally it does.

Last year's results revealed that many students date others from outside Imperial, predominantly those that study law or a similar humanities subject. To interested readers, LSE is only half an hour away on the Piccadilly line—and KCL is right across the street, too.

Imperial isn't that bad, though. We have seen our fair share of engineering hotties around campus. Walking across Sherfield or even spending an evening at FiveSixEight, Imperial has its eye-candy.

But what about personality? To that, we are rather stumped. University is a difficult time of trying to figure out who you are and what you like. Are you into girls or boys or no gender at all? Are you bi-curious or perhaps asexual? The questions flow out and all you can do is explore. And where do people explore? In their own departments, of course.

How many virgins per department?

Next up, we can discuss the percentage of virginity. A common joke and stereotype: Computing has the highest proportion of virgins.
