摘要
The culture in which a person live, has a strong effect on his sexual orientation and views towards sexuality which creates attitudes towards various sexuality behaviors for self as well as for others. Doctors are the person who has to be non-judgmental towards all aspects and types of sexuality while dealing with health care issues of society. But this is not true in all cases. In India, doctors themselves carry conservative attitudes for various aspects of sexuality, which can be a hurdle in transparent doctor patient therapeutic relationship. But if during the first year itself, the students are assessed for their attitudes, they can be educated for liberalizing their attitudes towards various sexuality. This study aim to assess the attitudes towards sexuality in first year students. We found conservative attitudes for various aspects of sexuality like, homosexuality, commercial sexuality, variations in sexuality.
