Sex researcher's shock survey: 1 in 10 Yale students have engaged in prostitution, 3% have had sex with an animal

Yale University students admitted during a sex workshop to indulging in bestiality and fantasizing about incest, according to reports.

Scholars at the prestigious Ivy League university also confessed at the "Sex: Am I Normal" seminar to taking part in sadomasochism and prostitution.

The results, chronicled by the Yale Daily News, detailed how nine percent of attendees had been paid for sex and three percent had engaged in sexual activity with an animal.

More than half had participated in "consensual pain" during intercourse, the Connecticut university's publication added.

Sexologist Dr. Jill McDevitt hosted the session where around 55 students used their cellphones to answer questions about sex. The results were then published in real time on a screen.

McDevitt, who also owns the Feminique sex store in West Chester, Pennsylvania, said the results showed "you can't have assumptions about people's backgrounds."

Student Giuliana Berry, who hosted the event, told Campus Reform the workshop - part of Yale's Sex Weekend - aimed to increase understanding and compassion for people who indulged in "fringe sexual practices."
