International Symposium on Arab Youth
This presentation explores Arab youth sexuality and the challenges of studying youth sexuality in the Arab world. 330 young adults (70% ages 18-25) completed an online survey that assessed their knowledge, experience, perceptions, and values related to reproductive health and sexual education, masturbation, virginity, sexual experiences and relationships, marriage, and sex and the internet.

Contrary to the hypotheses, few differences between the “employers” responses to the control and speech disorder applicants …
