Take a keen look at our colleges today and you will tell me the kind of men having sexual relationships with some of the girls there. Colleges are great places for promiscuous men to look for love and sex. Men usually have a preference for having multiple partners something that creates demand in the matters of love and sex. The college students in these case girls require a nice man to treat her well and meet her financial needs. This is things fellow male students cannot do hence the college becomes the supply to fill in the demands of such promiscuous men.
