title: Sexual life, problems, and attitudes of the prospective Greek physician.
abstract: A multi-item questionnaire was administered to 82 male and 48 female senior medical students; it addressed questions pertinent to their sexual life, sexual problems, and attitudes toward sex and sexuality. The results are discussed in relation to relevant studies in other countries and indicate that the prospective Greek physician, male or female, is quite liberal and permissive in his or her sexual practices and attitudes toward sexual matters. The latter might influence positively his or her attitude toward future patients' sexual problems. However, a need for specific sexual education is emphasized.
