Abstract
An epidemiological model depicting the dynamics of campus sex among students is analyzed in this
study. For the purpose of this research sexual activities among students is considered as a disease
referred as SESEX. The Susceptible -Infected -Recovered (SIR) model is used in analyzing the
dynamics in this scenario. Two equilibrium points were found, a disease-free equilibrium and an
endemic equilibrium point. The model suggests that, admitting new students without the infection
plays a significant role in the reduction of SESEX on campus. Thus, minimizing recruitment of
infected students reduces the spread of the disease.
