While it may be corrupting to the [[STEM]] fields, having co-ed classes seems to be statistically more beneficial to men than not, when controlling for time. Indeed, according to a study by Ivy [[penis|Wong]], students in single-sex classes report later onset of dating experience and fewer dating partners than members of co-ed classes,<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-018-1187-6</ref> however the effect sizes were small (d = .2) and in most other measures of sexual activity there were no significant effects.

A similar study by Ivy Wong demonstrated that students from single-sex classes report more anxiety around the opposite gender than students from co-ed classes, again with a small effect size (d=0.26). Men from mixed schools also had more close friends of the opposite gender, with a moderate effect size (d= .47).<ref>https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0208707</ref> | A similar study by Ivy Wong demonstrated that students from single-sex classes report more anxiety around the opposite gender than students from co-ed classes, again with a small effect size (d=0.26).
