Ok, I'm pretty sure that having sex doesn't get in the way of becoming an engineer, nor do engineers abstain by choice (on average). I think the problem is that there are so few women in our degree that our chances are severely reduced.
Think about it. If engineers are 1/3 women, 1/3 of which who are attractive, 1/2 of which are single, and 1/2 of which are looking for a boyfriend, that means 1/36 of the entire engineering population are available for the other 24/36.
Ok, maybe my logic is a little fuzzy there, because I assumed that all male engineers were attractive and single, which is SO NOT the case. Let's say half of the male engineering population is datable, so that means 12/36 of the engineers are going after 1/36 of the engineers. That's a sad state of affairs.
What is the solution? Expand your borders, engineering men. Look outside your degree to the arts, the sciences, and ... KNES? No, don't date people in KNES. Even though they're attractive, they're not your type.

Kind of random, and unrelated to this post, but I was very pleased to find there is a term out there that universally covers free-thinking people.
A bright is a person whose worldview is naturalistic, that is, free of supernatural or mystical elements.* The term was coined by Mynga Futrell and Paul Geisert, a pair of brights from Sacramento, California, who thought it would be sensible to adopt a common name for atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, materialists, rationalists, secular humanists, and skeptics.* All these disparate groups share in common a naturalistic worldview

I will have to disagree Johnny. It's well known that no engineer is allowed to engage in pre-marital sex. I'm sure that you signed a contract agreeing to this when you went into the program...
If you wanted to have sex, you should've enrolled in a useless program. Like business. Or political science. Nobody cares what kind of decisions those people make.
That's true, Kristen. People in useless degrees like Business or Social Science have a blank cheque for STD contraction and unplanned pregnancy. Damn my career choice! If I was a monkey in a suit, I could be going at it constantly with other members of my species.
