Health :: People need to learn more about sexual behaviour in developing countries

Information about sexual behaviour is essential to inform preventive strategies and to correct myths in public perceptions of sexual behaviour.

Increased research in this area in the past two decades provides a historically unique opportunity to take stock of sexual behaviour, and efforts to safeguard it, at the beginning of the 21st century.

Gaps in knowledge remain, especially in Asia and the middle east, where obstacles to sexual-behaviour research remain.
