“…Past studies with Turkish college students established similar rates for men (e.g., Aras, Orcin, Ozan, & Semin, 2007;Boratav & Çavdar, 2012) but lower rates for women (e.g., Aras et al, 2007;Golbasi, Erenel, & Tugut, 2012). The higher number of sexually experienced women in the present sample may be related to a liberalization of sexual behaviors and attitudes among Turkish college students in recent years (see Gelbal et al, 2008). The average age at first sexual intercourse in the present sample was 18.3 years for men and 19.1 years for women, which was similar to past findings from Turkey (Aras et al, 2007;Ege, Akin, Kültür Can, & Ariöz, 2011;Eşsizoğlu, Yasan, Yildirim, Gurgen, & Ozkan, 2011).…”
