Attitude towards sex and sexual problem among male university students.

Sex is a physiological phenomenon as much as hunger and sleep. The pattern of sleep and manner of eating is a learnt behaviour and so is the process of sexual satisfaction. Our society has taught to repress this instinct and medical institutions have been shy to teach this subject. The latter is reflected in the dilcma of a general physician when faced with a cause of potency disorder. The repressive attitude of our society towards sex is amply shown by the misconceptions that is prevalent even among educated class. The object of this survey was to bring out certain misconceptions towards sex among the male students of the University of Karachi.
