1. FEMALE SEXUALITY RESEARCH: THE ROAD IS BUMPY PROF IHAB YOUNIS www.redsulfur.net

2. Women are dominating

3. 70% of UK medical students are females

4. Harvard medical school graduation day, May 2013 50% of medical graduates in USA are females

5. Egyptian Doctors by Gender (2006) 70.5% 29.5% http://www.msrintranet.capmas.gov

6. Benha Faculty of Medicine Students Gender Ratio 2008-2009 60% 40%

7. Male : Female ratio in postgraduate students was 1: 16 !!!

8. So, we had 2 choices

10. # 2: Resort to female sexuality research

11. I chose the second choice but the road was bumpy

13. I-PROBLEMS RELATED TO PHYSIOLOGY We do not know what is normal and what is not

14. II-Problems related to subjects’ nature 1- The vast emotional effect

15. 2-The great variations related to socioeconomic standards 2-

17. 4-The feminine nature of keeping sexual affairs secret

18. The general tendency of women to under- report premarital sexual experiences

19. III-Problems in structuring questionnaire

20. 1-Biased sampling

21. 2-Volunteers

22. 3-Inability to understand some terms

23. 4-Participation bias Those refusing to participate may have a significantly different attitude

24. 5-Item response bias respondents refusing to answer a particular question Mast…… …nal sex

25. 6-Problems with recall
