Female student’s private sex life thesis makes waves in cyber space

LONDON - A female student in the US has been left devastated after a sex list, in which she ranked the university men she had slept with, became an Internet sensation.

Karen Owen had created the “unofficial senior thesis” on her sex life with athletes at Duke University in North Carolina and originally emailed it to three of her friends.

But the project spread across the university’s entire 14,000-student body and from there on to websites across the globe.

According to the News Of Today, Owen was very distraught when the list was made public.

“I regret it with all my heart. I would never intentionally hurt the people that are mentioned on that,” the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

In the list, written in the form of a 42-slide PowerPoint presentation, Owen rates 13 of the men she slept with, mainly from the university lacrosse team, out of 10 and created a bar graph charting their sexual prowess.

“In my blackout state, still managed to crawl into bed with a Duke athlete,” was one of the entries on the list.

Owen called her presentation ‘An education beyond the classroom:

Excelling in the realm of horizontal academics’ and also includes intimate details of her lovers.

The list has since been taken down from Internet sites and Owen has deleted her profiles from social networking sites. (ANI)
