A brief list of some of the key findings of these surveys as they pertain to involuntary celibacy follows: | A brief list of some of the key findings of these surveys as they pertain to involuntary celibacy follows: | ||
*A questionnaire administered to university students aged 20-25 in the coastal town of Izmir, located in the Asia Minor region of Turkey on the Aegean sea, found that 61.2% of males had reported engaging in any kind of sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal, or oral) compared to 18.3 | *A questionnaire administered to university students aged 20-25 in the coastal town of Izmir, located in the Asia Minor region of Turkey on the Aegean sea, found that 61.2% of males had reported engaging in any kind of sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal, or oral) compared to 18.3% of females (Aras et al. 2007).<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16448584/</ref><br />These figures were comparable to earlier findings, with the pooled average rate of sexual engagement in prior surveys conducted on Turkish university students (range 33%-68% for males and 4.2% to 45% for females). Regarding the level of sexual engagement, the highest figures were found in a sample of students from Istanbul University for both sexes (though the male sample was also mixed with students from Western Anatolia).<ref>http://www.radikal.com.tr/2000/01/12/turkiye/cin.shtml</ref><br />However, most of the men in this particular sample had reported using prostitutes. In contrast, only 28% of sexually active males in Aras et al.'s sample stated their first sexual partner was a sex worker. | ||
*A more recent sexual survey on Turkish university students (mean age 20.79 ± 1.9) conducted in 2020 by Nazik et al. on students from "a university in the Mediterranian region of Turkey" found a roughly equal level of engagement in romantic relationships among the sexes, with 51% of the women reported having previous "had a partner" as compared to 55% of the men.<ref>https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-biosocial-science/article/abs/gender-sexual-experiences-and-sexual-behavioural-differences-in-turkish-university-students/6F8789BE7F1562EF2D4EEC2CAEE422B1</ref><br />However, it was noted that actual engagement in the various kinds of sexual activity reported was higher among the females in the sample. This higher engagement in sexual activity among the women was chiefly limited to oral and anal sex.<br />This finding provides some credence to the idea of women in conservative Islamic countries [[hoejabi|frequently engaging in non-vaginal sexual intercourse]] in the belief that this will prevent their future husband from knowing of their pre-marital sexual behavior. It is important to note that total levels of engagement in sexual intercourse were low for both sexes, though, compared to university samples from other countries. | *A more recent sexual survey on Turkish university students (mean age 20.79 ± 1.9) conducted in 2020 by Nazik et al. on students from "a university in the Mediterranian region of Turkey" found a roughly equal level of engagement in romantic relationships among the sexes, with 51% of the women reported having previous "had a partner" as compared to 55% of the men.<ref>https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-biosocial-science/article/abs/gender-sexual-experiences-and-sexual-behavioural-differences-in-turkish-university-students/6F8789BE7F1562EF2D4EEC2CAEE422B1</ref><br />However, it was noted that actual engagement in the various kinds of sexual activity reported was higher among the females in the sample.
