*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 reporting 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 reporting 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.

The findings of these studies suggest Turkey is still a country where pre-marital sex is relatively rare and frowned upon, especially among women. However, the result of the more recent survey suggests female promiscuity may be on the rise in Turkey. | The findings of these studies suggest Turkey is still a country where pre-marital sex is relatively rare and frowned upon, especially among women. However, the result of the more recent survey suggests female promiscuity may be on the rise in Turkey (at least among urban elites and the middle class). | ||
