“…The sexual and reproductive health needs of adolescents[ 7 8 9 10 ] in India are currently overlooked or are not understood by the Indian healthcare system. This could be owing to the lack of knowledge of scientific evidence along with the gross unpreparedness of the public health system.…”

“…9,10 To foster a positive and non-judgemental attitude towards sexual matters, it is necessary to offer proper sexual education to doctors and medical students. 11,12 Sexual knowledge and attitude among medical students in India is a topic that has received limited attention in the existing literature, unlike in other countries where several studies have been conducted, such as Hong et al, 13 Lankamo et al, 14 Wong et al 15 and Layte et al 16 Most of the previous research in India has focused on sexual knowledge in relation to HIV/AIDS, 17 rather than on the broader aspects of sexual behaviour and attitudes. This is a gap that needs to be addressed, especially in the context of rapid urbanization and easy access to sexual material, which may increase the risk of engaging in unsafe or unhealthy sexual practices.…”

Background: The word ‘sex’ in India is taboo and is not discussed openly. Sex attitude refers to one’s attitude towards sexuality or different sexual behaviours. Poor sex knowledge causes many problems. A liberal attitude without adequate knowledge is harmful. Aim: To explore and study sexual knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and the sources of influence and to examine the relationship between sexual knowledge, attitude and behaviours in undergraduate medical students. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out to assess sex knowledge and attitude among 506 medical undergraduate students. A Google document in the form of a structured questionnaire containing three important parts was used for the assessment: (a) demographic details of students; (b) sex knowledge and attitude questionnaire II (SKAQ II); and (c) Sexual Behaviour and Sources of Influence (SBSI) scale. Data was interpreted using mean, unpaired ‘t’ test and chi-square test. Results: Overall, participants showed a conservative attitude towards sex. As the academic year of participants progressed, sex knowledge increased. A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between sex knowledge and attitude scores. Sexual behaviours through media and with self or others were found to be low. The Internet was found to be the major source for gathering information and was considered the most reliable source. Conclusion: Participants were deficient in sex knowledge and had a conservative attitude in certain areas. Females, higher education levels and urban area participants had higher sex knowledge and liberal attitudes. There are areas of sex knowledge and attitude that need improvement by proper sex education.

“…Stroke being the leading cause of death and disability may lead to decline in sexual desire/interest and coital frequency for both sexes. Sexuality is a broad concept and is less discussed among the patients and health care workers in India [10]. Sex is an important component of life and has an effect on overall health of the patient with stroke.…”
