International Sex Survey
|
The ISS is dedicated to understanding a wide range of sexual behaviors, including both positive (such as sexual satisfaction or sexual desire) and some negative aspects (such as sexual risks or compulsive behaviors) of sexuality.
This study is conducted in more than 40 countries, which allows us to compare results between different cultures and better understand sexuality around the world. Recruitment for this study is now complete, and over 82,000 participants completed the survey. Check out the study's website to see the results and more information on the project. |
