The objective of this research is to analyze in detail the effect of an active sexual lifestyle on college students. Fifty seven participants were involved in this experiment and to help carry out factorial, descriptive and correlational analysis, the use of questionnaires and well as interviews were accessed. The results revealed that engaging in sexual activity in college can negatively impact students’ educational performance. Internal barriers such as sexual pleasure, causes an increase in their sex drive, thus, distract them from their academic studies. Males in college appeared to have greater sexual satisfaction and engaged more in an active sexual lifestyle. On the other hand, females who engaged in less sexual activity, still experienced

G. (1994) study showed the relationship of socio-demographic variables with the newly-created variable on the 'risk groups '. There are large gender differences, among males 78.4% are categorized in the low risk group (three or less partners), while 11.6% fall into the high risk group (more than three partners in the previous years and not using condoms). For females these percentages are 94.6 and 3.1%, respectively.
From this research, it seems clear that sexual relationships do in fact affect a healthy lifestyle. It is less clear whether it can negatively impact student’s academic performance. The focus of the current research is to determine the extent in which an active sexual lifestyle effects college students’ academic performance and whether students who remain abstinent hold better grade point averages compared to those who engage in a sexual lifestyle. This study examines our hypothesis; low academic performance in college students is affected by and correlated to participation in an active sexual lifestyle.
Data for this study was done in one successive period, the Fall semester of 2015. Research for this study was approved with the authorization and supervision of Dr. David Sargent. Informed written consent was obtained from participants ensuring them
