Abstract
A comparison is reported between 463 Japanese students and 802 British students of both sexes and similar ages with respect to their answers to a questionnaire on sexual attitudes, habits, and practices. The data indicate that the Japanese students were much less permissive and advanced in their attitudes, showing an almost Victorian reticence. Sex differences in attitudes were preserved across cultures, and culture differences were manifested across the two sexes. More detailed comparisons were made across the various factors that emerged from the original analysis of the questionnaire, and these aid in the discussion of the finer structure of the cultural comparisons.Keywords
